Three kids, girls are 17 and 16, boy is 12. They are my stepkids. I was thinking of something from Etsy this year, maybe a personalized wooden birth block. 6 sides so:
-name -birthdate, birth time, length, weight -laser engraving of birth photo -outline map of USA with a point that shows birth city -list of siblings and sibling birth dates -something else-maybe a quote Can you please ask your teens and let me know, thanks!!!! |

| That’s a baby/new parent gift. Teens would not appreciate it. |

Are they new to being your step kids?
I think it's sweet in it's intent, but not something the least my 3 year old boy would want. This seems more like a gift that a new parent would get for their baby. I would focus on experiences vs. stuff and possibly something that you could do as a family. A play? Indoor skydiving? Just spit balling. |

| No teen wants that. You are trying to hard. Get something fun. |

| I don’t think that would be a great gift at any of those ages. Find out what their favorite stores/brands are and get them a gift card and a few stocking stuffers as well. |

| Sorry, it's not a good gift for them. I'd also advise not getting everyone the same thing (whatever you settle on). |

| That's a gift for a newborn's parents, not something the kid will care about. So no, it's not good for tweens or teens. |

| They’ve done everything. International trips, ziplining, and we are all going to a big sporting event this year thanks to the grandparents. Blended family so tons of gifts and stuff. We are at the point where we are just giving Amazon gift cards, so I’m just trying to think outside the box, plus the oldest is college bound, so I was thinking something sentimental this year. |

| No. Teens want money or gift cards. You could get a small, meaningful gift and attach money or a gift card. But really, teens are all about cash. |

Okay, so you’re all going to a sporting event as a family -that means you have the easiest gift idea!
Get them all gear from your favorite team. Hats, sweatshirts, etc. |

Relax. This should not get you so agitated. |
