what would be the worst christmas gifts you can give to a teenager?

For a teenage girl, some dorky underwear thats WAAAAAAAY bigger than her size. Or maybe a bra that's much smaller. \n\nI actually think that socks could be a cute gift if you get the super warm (but cute kind) like the ones at Target.  \nBoys would hate anything girly, or (along the same lines as teen girl gifts) tighty-whitey undies. I don't think they like any kind of clothes that much. (Gaming systems would be more preferred)

It'll be the 'little' things that count!  Hand-made, home-made anything by the kids is a big hit!!  Most of all I think the greatest gift is some 'mum time'.  An hour or two to do her favourite thing - bubble bath, read book/magazine, whilst having someone else doing the chores - BLISS!!!

Get them a simple giftcard from a local store. Let them choose whatever they want.

Go old-school. Make their locker look like a present. Use wrapping paper.

Put in attic or display and be thankfull for the jester.\n\nWhen there nobody cares maybe than you will fill good to see someone bring you a gift.

Well you could make her a fun surprise, first get a really useless or hilarious cheap gift and stay serious about it, let's say a used toothbrush. Then for the real gift i can't really help you because i don't know your friend, you are the ones friends with her so you know her better then any strangers here. I'd say a cd, or a necklace. Even if the real gift isn't great, she will just be happy she got something else then a used toothbrush.

Ask at the jail if there is a group that assists the inmates families in need. \nCheck for "Toys for Tots" in  your area. Call Children's Services and ask for a social worker--they often put articles in the newspapers about different needy families and what they would like or need for their children at Holiday times.  If you belong to a church, or even if not, contact the pastor and ask him for help.\n  \nVisit a local thrift store--you can find some pretty decent things there for little $$. \n \nTalk to your 13 year old--he is more aware of what is going on that you may  credit him for.  Maybe he can help friends or neighbors shovel snow or sweep the walk  (depending on climate--I don't know where you live); carry in groceries, walk the dog, etc for $.  I bet he would feel so proud that you asked him for help!! \nAsk your neighbors or friends for the trimmings they cut off their Christmas trees--you can tie them together and make your own tree; and decorate with paper chains and popcorn.  \n\nI hope this helps!! And God bless you and your family!

It would be very difficult to buy something she will like, so money is the best gift.  She can put it to good use now, or save it for use at college.  In fact, a better gift might be a CD maturing in 6 to 18 months, in case she is like many teens who might tend to spend too fast.

he'll be more interested in the packaging, and more into the attention he gets when he's opening his gifts than he will the gifts himself.  he won't give a fig what he gets, so get something that will be good for mom and dad; a toy that doesn't make noise and is age appropriate; clothes; baby/toddler furniture; diapers for a year; a day out with you  (and mom and dad get time off, too);\na silver cultery set; something memorable that he'll have his life through; lots of things come to mind; don't overthink it

some super great presents this holiday season for a 17 year old girl...i myself and 16 but some gifts that would be awesome are probably gas cards, a cell phone, mp3 player, ipod nano, clothes, gift cards to her favorite store...movie passes, and things along those lines

if she like music maybe an MP3 player or cd player and some cds. \nGift cards work the best i've found! Not to just Sears or JC penny, but maybe if you're wanting to spend $50 perhaps one to Wal-Mart and another to the mall or a theater. Also, teens like fast food!!

This is entirely up to you.  Don't do anything out of guilt, but from a genuine desire to give.  If you really want to give them something, give them something!\n\nI recommend it be something fun, small, or inexpensive.  You might get them small toys or costume jewelry or an inexpensive T-shirt or a book or video.  You might also bake them cookies or gingerbread cakes.

If you sew (you could learn to hand sew quickly) you could make little handbags. It's also fun to make your own hand/body lotion, bath salts, bath bombs(fizzy). You could also make candy kits for them to enjoy.  Go to the library and check out the books for cheap and easy gifts in minutes.  Have fun.

My mother has a boyfriend that I can't stand (he is pulling the - rushing to a widow's aid crap and taking all of her money)... I'll tell you know, he's not getting a thing for Christmas.  And if you feel like you have to get him something, then get a gift more for your mum and just say it's to them both.  Tell them you would have gotten more, but your penny pinching this year.  \n\nGood luck!

You should drop him like a hot potato and give him a copy of the video for a Christmas gift or his birthday present.
