This gift guide is FOR TEENS, BY TEENS! For all you folks with teenage relatives (or children? What's the BYT demographic?) or for those who know someone with the taste of a seventeen-year-old, here are some gifts that should help your (Very LAST Minute) Christmas (Hanukah? Kwanzaa? Seriously, what's the demographic??) shopping greatly.
The Twilight Saga: New Moon Soundtrack
FACT: All teens love Twilight. We eat that vampire/werewolf love triangle stuff right up. Who will Bella choose?? Why does Robert Pattinson sparkle?? I don't know the answer to any of these questions because I haven't read the books but what I can tell you is that this soundtrack rocks! Seriously though, it feature new material from Death Cab, Grizzly Bear, Bon Iver, Thom Yorke and more of your favorites. Buy it HERE.
Candy Buds Headphones
If someone asked me to name the three things that teenz love most, I would say, "candy, iPods, and texting!!!!" These supercomphy Tootsie Roll headphones combine two of those things! (Hint: they do not involve texting at all, but wouldn't that be cool?!). Buy them HERE.
Holga Camera
Name one teenage girl who doesn't want to be a photographer! You can't! Every teenage girl wants to be a photographer. There are a lot of feelings inside her that only pictures of leaves or windows can express. Holga cameras will help the teenage girl in your life express her feelings better because these fuzzy, lo-fi pictures will get more reblogs on Tumblr. Buy a Holga HERE.
Glee Sheet Music
Because if there's anything my high school needs, it's more theater kids singing these songs in the halls every Thursday! Buy sheet music HERE!
Lady GaGa School Supplies
To avoid this conversation: "Mooooooom, I CAN'T go to school with this Katy Perry notebook and Rihanna folder!!! EVERYONE will make fun of me ugh I hate you parents don't understand ANYTHING." Buy the pack HERE.

God loves a cheerful giver.
for a teenager, Nina is pretty clever.
Should this be making me feel vaguely homicidal?
Note: Some of the malice may be due to the current ubiquity of Christmas music.
