Momservation: <\/strong>Cash is king if you live with a teen.<\/p>\n

\u263a\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u263a\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u263a<\/p>\n

Okay, so you missed the deadline for flat rate shipping and the mad dash to Toys r Us on your lunch break just doesn\u2019t do it anymore for the teens in your life. What is a Christmas shopper to do with less than 10 days to become a gift-giving rockstar?<\/p>\n

Try something from the list below and I guarantee you will be the Taylor Swift of Christmas gift-giving:<\/p>\n

5 Things Every Teen Wants for Christmas<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Cash.\u00a0<\/strong>It fits. It\u2019s cool. It\u2019s on fleek. It\u2019s the Neflix and Chill of Christmas gifts. Teens are in charge of their own destiny and they don\u2019t have to pretend they like it and then piss you off when you find it in 6 months at the bottom of the closet with the tags still on it.\"cash\"<\/li>\n
  2. Gift cards. <\/strong>Still spends like cash. Especially if you make it a Visa gift card. Unless you know they only eat at Chipotle, only shop at Nordstroms, or have never found anything they didn\u2019t love at PacSun, suck up the $5 activation fee and just get them credit to anywhere. Again, it\u2019s about being in charge of their own destiny\u2014so even if you know they love Starbucks, they may just want to go to Peet\u2019s Coffee just to be different (read: difficult).\"Prepaid-Visa-Gift-Cards\"<\/li>\n
  3. Brandy Melville<\/a>. <\/strong>If you are shopping for a teen girl this has become the modern-day uniform just like lace gloves and Esprit sweatshirts were for us 80\u2019s ladies. You don\u2019t even have to worry about sizes because it\u2019s One Size Fits All (don\u2019t ask me how, but miraculously it does). Buy it online, find it in PacSun, or if you are a true Christmas rockstar hit up any of their major city stores. Or just see #2 and they will find their way to it like a mother ship coming home.\"brandy<\/li>\n
  4. Rated M for Mature video games. <\/strong>If you are shopping for a teen boy this is what they really want but won\u2019t tell you. Because they know you won\u2019t buy them Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, or Mortal Combat. They\u2019ll take the non-violent video games you get them and exchange them at GameStop and hide them under their bed like your husbands used to do with Playboys\u2014or just go play them at their not-well-supervised friend\u2019s house (which becomes your house when you\u2019re not home). Not saying you have to buy it, but if you go with #1 or #2, then really, you are.\"Grand_Theft_Auto_V\"<\/li>\n
  5. More Followers, Friends, Likes, and Favorites. <\/strong>Nothing is more wanted and valued with teens than Instagram<\/a> and Twitter<\/a> Followers, SnapChat<\/a> Friends, and Likes and Favorites on social media postings. So you can buy them Instagram Followers and Likes at Socialenvy.com<\/a>, or Twitter Followers, Retweets and Favorites at Socialblend.com<\/a>, or pay someone $5 at Fiverr.com<\/a> for a SnapChat shout out for more Followers and you just may become the 2015 Christmas Gift-Giving Rockstar. Or if that feels as icky to you as it does me, just go for #1 and save yourself the stress\u2014it\u2019s One Size Fits All!\"Buying<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
