A teen has more interest in clothing and purses and accessories. This can leave you a wide field of gifts to buy. Watches are popular as are earrings, rings, and bracelets. Purses are always a great gift for teen girls. They can be picky about their clothes, but if you keep an eye on what they wear, you should be able to get them a shirt or sweater they will like and wear.
