[quote=Anonymous]I think early teens are the most difficult — the transition from “kid” with “toys” to “mini-adult” with, well, more expensive “toys” and stuff. Ours are 16 and 18…and we do get lists. This year, for a change, they actually had a lot of interesting stuff like more cold-weather gear (jackets and boots), air pods, and accessories for their cars (including an oil change GC, lol). Sure, those are things we’d likely “buy” for them anyway but we’re more likely to splurge on the brand/features they really want as a gift. Best gift of all to and from them is….their time. With one already in college and the other soon to follow, “our” time with them is coming to a close. So, a fancier lunch during a shopping trip or after a doctor’s appointment, where we can really talk, is worth way more than any material gift.[/quote]
