**Activity-Themed Gifts**

Do you have a sports-loving teen? They may dream of being the next big thing at soccer or basketball. Sports gear of high quality is always a winner. Custom jerseys, training equipment or a few sessions of coaching with a local trainer are all great options. Art supplies or an art class could be the answer if they are more inclined towards the arts. Sketchpads and professional crayons will help them to explore their creativity.

**Fashion Statements**

At 13, clothing can be a powerful way to express yourself. A pair of brand-new sneakers, a trendy hoodie, or a gift certificate to their favorite shop can make them happy. A personalized T-shirt, or a unique piece of jewelry can make a big impact.

**Experiences Over Stuff**

Experiences can be more powerful than pretty papers. What about tickets to a concert by their favorite artist? What about a weekend of adventure, such as go-karting and escape rooms? Even a day of fun at a themepark can leave lasting memories.

Subscriptions are a gift that keeps on giving.

Imagine receiving a little bit of joy each month! These days, subscription boxes cover almost anything. These monthly surprises, whether they are books, snacks or video games can keep them excited long after their birthday.
