Thinking about being 16 years old, all I want to do is dust off my copy of 16 Candles … but teens have come a long way since wanting nothing more than a hot guy and a pink Trans Am. Sure, a lot of them would be happy with a gift card to Amazon, iTunes, or whatever else is cool, but going that route is just so impersonal. Besides, it’s fun to have something to open, isn’t it? To help you out, we’ve come up with this list of best gifts for 16-year-olds. Happy shopping!
