7. Clothes and sneakers: Brandy Melville, Nike hoodies, Cotton On, H&M, JD Sports
Has your teen reached the age where they are developing their own sense of style and fashion sense? While choosing clothes for your teen can be a minefield, you can’t go wrong with a voucher to one of the hot fashion shops. We have it on good authority that Brandy Melville in Orchard Road is the coolest place for teen girls to stock up on sweaters and camisole tops (don’t forget to include the cute bows and stickers available at the check out counter). Boys go gaga for Jordan 4 sneakers, or a good ol Nike hoodie, even in Singapore’s stifling weather! Thank goodness for air con.

8. Yochi voucher
Our teens are loving this super cool fro-yo spot in Orchard, and a voucher to share with their friends would make a great stocking stuffer. With ten rotating flavours, including the signature tart, salted butterscotch, and acai, plus a toppings bar loaded with brownie chunks, strawberry mochi, cookie dough, popping pearls, and even Nutella on tap, it’s a full-on creative playground for young froyo fans! Sampling is encouraged, there’s only one cup size. Eco-conscious teens can score 10% off when they opt for the reusable KeepCup Go Bowl (another great gift idea!)

9. Sports gear – basketballs, footballs, pickleball gear or jerseys!
If your teen is a sports fan, a jersey of their favourite team and player is always a winner! We love encouraging our teens to get outside and play sports for themselves, so a Decathlon voucher or a gift of sports gear usually finds it’s way into a their pile of presents on Christmas Day. Padel or pickleball gear is also a great idea for the whole family to join in the fun!
10. Headphones
Our teens love drifting off into their own musical worlds, and a funky new pair of headphones is sure to hit the top of the best gifts for teens wish-list! While our teenage boy told us that Apple AirPods are the go-to gift pick, our teen girl loves the Apple AirPod Max. These are over-the-head earphones that she can rock with her cutest workout clothes. Beware, both options are pricey, starting from $199!
11. VR headset
Continuing down the pricey road, a VR headset is a fun gaming idea for the whole family. While we love a visit to a VR gaming studio in Singapore (and the price starts at only $12), our teens are sure to love unwrapping their very own headset. Our tweens love the PICO, and we hear that the most sought-after option is the Meta Quest 3. But be careful to play the games yourself before you let them at it, as some can be quite scary!
HoneyKids pick: Meta Quest 3
Price: From $720
