You may already have all the gifts for Christmas purchased and that is great! Yet, I suspect that many may still be rushing to get some last minute  gifts. Sometimes it is a challenge to figure out things teens would like to have without blowing the surprise or the budget. So I wanted to share some items that I found at a great price that were actually hand picked by teens I know. Here are 8 Christmas gifts teens will love and save you money! Click on the picture or label below it for more information. They are all below $50 (most under $20) and are Prime eligible so free 2 day shipping!
