Gift ideas for a teen

We are on a serious countdown. We are one week and one day from Christmas! Have you got all the gifts on all the various lists? It’s definitely much easier to shop for a child, but what do you get a teen? Here are some ideas for the teens and young adults in your life. These gifts would also be great for the adults who you don’t know what to buy for.

Gift Ideas for a Teen Girl

This is the gift idea for a teen that gives back. Family Services of Greater Vancouver (FSGV) announced a partnership with World of LLA, and its 11-year-old founder, Lily Harper for the non-profit’s annual campaign, Caring Neighbours, which runs November 1 – December 31, so there is still time to support it.

Caring Neighbours hopes to inspire the Lower Mainland and its surrounding communities to Give the Gift of Brighter Tomorrows by encouraging members to take action today and pledge a gift to their neighbours in need. With a goal of raising $250,000, FSGV has partnered with World of LLA to create an exclusive Hot Chocolate Candle that sees 50% of proceeds donated in support of FSGV and the Caring Neighbours campaign.
