Hello everyone ! ! I just wanted to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas and a safe an happy New Year :D I know it's a busy time of year for everyone so I'll get right to the point.. I have a question for all you teenage girls out there and boys too lol; What would you like For Christmas ?? Reason I ask is I'm trying to get some idea's for my own two teenage daughter's . Ages 16 and 19.. I've already got them cloths, games, odds and ends stuff they asked for, I was just trying to see if I could come up with something different and maybe surprise them ! ! Both of my girls have autism so there not much into movies or music.. Well some music just not with any words to it.. Thanks in advance for your input ! !

Merry Christmas ~!~

Movie gift certificates, a very popular video game, gift certificates to some clothing stores, tickets to a sporting event, tickets to a popular music concert. It really depends on how much you want to spend.

Do they have 'special interests'? If so maybe something related to that. My aspie 13 year old doesn't like surprises so I get him what he asks for and then I just give him cash. There seems to be some kind of cultural taboo about giving cash as a gift (maybe its seen as impersonal) but its very practical, promotes independence and in my experience teenagers can't get enough of it.

To me, cash is an excellent gift. I would have love just plain cold, hard cash as a teenager.
