The list will keep growing as the clock counts down to December 25. Come back daily and check out what I’ve added.

Gifts for Teen Girls

This year my daughter wants nothing but makeup, clothes, and cash. She is into watching makeup videos on YouTube and showing off her femininity with comfortable, yet fabulous clothing. She will get what she wants but there is so much more to put under the tree for her. I know she will appreciate it. Here are a few gifts I’m considering for her and that you might want to pick up for your teen daughter.

Gifts for Teen Guys

My son is into the video games and sneakers but I’m not the kind of mom who buys just anything he wants. I have to add my own flair when it comes to gift giving. I’ve curated a few ideas that I think he will either like or benefit from. Maybe you will get some ideas from my list for your teen son, nephew, or brother.

The Agenda Game

I am excited about playing this with my kids. Since I homeschool my son this is a great way to teach him about politics. The Agenda Game – a small piece of political theater in a box where players throw their hat into the ring. But these candidates aren’t competing for electoral votes – they have agendas! The board game tickles the funny bone, “edutains” about American politics, and sparks fun dialog between family and friends.
