Holiday Gifting Guide: The Best Gifts for Active Teenagers

It's that time of year when you rack your brain for great gift ideas for everyone in your family—and if you have teens in your house, this task can be even more difficult. Never fear! We've compiled a list of 10 can't-miss items sure to make your teen a happy elf and not an angry elf. Start making your list...
  1. Fitness Tracker

Smartwatches and fitness trackers make great gifts for teens who like to stay active. In addition to monitoring their activity levels and tracking their workouts, today’s gadgets measure things like heart rate, respiratory rate, sleep patterns—even blood oxygen. Oh, and they look cool. So, this year, think about grabbing something that can help them stay fit while completing their perfect fit.

  1. Sports Equipment

High-quality gear for your kids’ favorite activities is always a winner. Specialized cleats, a new bat or glove, or that gotta-have-it lax stick are sure to light up your athlete’s face. And don’t forget a new BounceNet set—and maybe an extra set of sleeves or a spare ball to keep the fun going. After all, it will be spring break before we know it, and none of that other stuff is as lightweight or packs down as easily as BounceNet! Now, that’s the gift that keeps on giving!

  1. Outdoor Adventure Gear

If they enjoy hiking or camping, gear like a durable backpack, a portable hammock, or a compact camping stove can enhance their outdoor experiences. A sturdy water bottle is also a must.

  1. Subscription to a Fitness App

A subscription to a fitness or yoga app can give them access to workouts tailored to their interests, from strength training to dance classes. It’s a great way to explore new fitness trends.

  1. Activewear

High-quality, swaggy activewear is always appreciated. Look for moisture-wicking fabrics and trendy styles that they can wear while working out or just hanging out with friends. Looking good and feeling good go hand in hand, you know.

  1. Adventure Experience

What’s better than a tangible item? How about gifting your teen an experience! Consider vouchers for rock climbing, zip-lining, or a local escape room. Experiences create lasting memories and can be a great way to bond as a family.

  1. Portable Bluetooth Speaker

If there’s one thing most teenagers can’t live without, it’s music. A durable, portable Bluetooth speaker can turn any outdoor activity into a party! Perfect for picnics, beach days, or just hanging out in the backyard.

  1. Skate or Bike Accessories

If they’re into skating or biking, accessories like a fresh helmet, knee pads, or a backpack designed for carrying gear will be well received—and make you feel a little better about their thrill seeking behavior!

  1. Yoga Mat or Accessories

For teens who enjoy yoga or fitness classes, a high-quality yoga mat, resistance bands, or a foam roller can enhance their practice and recovery.

  1. Virtual Reality Fitness Games

VR headsets with fitness games offer an exciting way to stay active. Look for games that promote movement and engage them physically while providing a fun escape.

Bonus: Gift Card to Their Favorite Sports Store

When in doubt, a gift card to a local sporting goods store allows them to choose what they truly want or need. This ensures they’ll get something they’ll love and use!

These gifts can help keep active teenagers engaged and encourage them to explore new physical activities while having fun. Happy gifting!
