Christmas is quickly approaching and many other gift guides being put into the universe, I thought I would start with a Teen Gift Guide that is @Swift_Chip (Kingston) approved. It was fun to put together the graphics and share this process with him. I created two guides because I think gifts that cultivate quality time are equally if not more important than tangible goods.
However, we will start with the Kingston approved Teen Gift Guide (gamer edition).
Kontrol Freek, for your serious gamer who likes to customize their grip on their controller. Linked is the Xbox version, but these are available across platforms! The Ultimate Gamer Chair for those seeking comfort for their never-ending game sessions. Backlit multi-colored keyboard– you aren’t cool unless you have one of these bad boys to chat with your buddies online. LED Strip Lights to coordinate with said keyboard (all the rage with teenagers everywhere.) At the helm of gaming is a quality monitor, we purchased this AOC Monitor for Kingston’s birthday and I would say the quality and price can not be beat. Not included in this guide is one of the new Xbox systems, but if you didn’t snag one on pre-order that is going to be a tough buy! Kingston said it was important to mention, so here we are.
Moving on to the quality time gift guide. I would say that most teenagers wouldn’t flat out ask for these experiences, but in the end would love the time spent with family. In my opinion these are the gifts that keep on giving. I would also say these are places in and around the Dallas Metroplex, but likely to be similar places near you.
Andretti Indoor Karting and Games, we have been to a few events here and WOW! There are attractions for just about everyone and they have done a fabulous job with cleaning/masks during the pandemic. Next up, Altitude Trampoline Park. Again, plenty of family fun with a workout mixed in. This location offers a teen night, which I think is wonderful for a night away from their gaming centers and getting some much needed energy out. Go Ape, is a fabulous place to face fears, let the adrenaline flow, and be outdoors.
I hope these guides are helpful in your pursuit of gift giving for the teenagers in your life. I know it can be completely overwhelming to shop for this age group when all they really want is cash money.
Be on the lookout for a few more gift guides this week! Thanks for reading along!
