Does anyone have good, cheap ideas for christmas presents for teenagers. The more creative and less expensive the better. I thought about have NO christmas...but maybe I can do cheap instead...
Thanks

Go here to look. You can look by price and it will probably help you some. I did that for some ideas for D and I think I might have come up with cool stuff for cheaper than I thought.

How old, what gender?
I just bought some nice clearance items online at victoriassecret.com (cute sleepwear for 13.99) and at hollisterco.com (cute polo shirt for 9.99)
Half.com has great deals on "used-but-look-great" CDs and books - so does amazon.com
And Walmart and Costco have great deals on bundled gifts, clothing, bath stuff, etc.
Rack Room Shoes has a great deal right now where you can buy shoes on sale PLUS get a second pair for half price. And they have Skechers!!!!!
Also, gift certificates are good - they love to pick out stuff on their own.
Does this help?
I just bought my son the most beautiful bike on ebay - paid half price and it is like new from a bike dealer in PA who had it for his son and his son barely rode it. He is going to flip when he sees it!! I am buying him some sports stuff from Walmart as well.
it's a good place to look, thanks..

I did this for the my sister’s kids last year and it was a big hit…
Buy a microwave tub of popcorn for each kid (you can find these at Blockbuster video for approx $1.50 each), some assorted movie style candy ($2-3.00), a six pack of the classic cokes in the glass bottles (2 for each kid) ($2.00 for the 6 pack at Target) and a gift card to Blockbuster or your nearest video store ($10 each) or a favorite DVD of the moment. You put everything into the tub of popcorn and wrap it up with cellophane wrap and big bow. You can spruce it up with shredded tissue paper, confetti, etc… Works out to about $15 per kid.
Or alternatively, Gift certificate for the movies with enough left over for snacks.
Hey, I like this idea for a nice "white elephant" gift!
I am trying to come up with something nice that people might actually WANT. We get too many dumb gag gifts and you've got to have a few nice things to fight over!
Hi
Actually, I do....This year we started a Secret Santa within our family...not so secret anymore. Everyone had to pick a name and the rule is that have to make that person a gift from the heart. That gift can't be bought from the store. I've come up with a list of ideas of what they can all make and some are trying to see if they can do them. They are very simple. One is take a picture and trace over it with tracing paper and try to make a sketched or hand drawn picture from it. You don't have to be an artist, just have fun with it. Crotchet or knit an item - they are pretty hot commodity at the moment and can get pretty pricy in the stores. Buy nice paper that can go throug a printer and print out some personalize or different kind of designs on the paper. Cut to note paper size and you have a very nice personal gift. Put together a scrap book for that person of special memories, or journal within it and inclue some pictures, or items from them or that reminds you of them. If it's a boy or a man, why not buy a pine wood derby car from the craft store or carve out your own and paint it, poly it, decorate it...It would be a one of kind "Hot Wheels" type car only made from wood. Sew a purse out of material that you find in the thrift store, maybe take a part some neclaces and bead it, cut up some jeans and make a purse, etc. Picture frames made from wood or board - can make these from just about anything, from milk carton, egg cartons, card board, etc.
Maybe paint that persons room with a murial, etc. Doesn't have to be so big, can be just a corner, or one wall, etc.
Also, go to the thrift stores and buy up their junky jewelry and pins, and take them apart and make your own. Jewelry glue doesn't cost much, neither does jewelry twine.
Good Luck, Hugs, Marilyn
