Emergency gifts for teens needed.

**pkellyc** · 12-19-2007, 02:39 PM

I am hosting Christmas Eve overnight into Christmas morning to three teenagers unexpectedly. I won't get into the story but we love these kids and want them here. They are a 17 yr. old boy, a 15 yr. old girl and a 13 yr. old girl. They will have 2 gifts each from their mother here but my girls will have considerably more gifts to open. I have their stockings covered but I am looking for a few last minute inexpensive gifts for them. Any ideas?

basket with holiday movie & candy, card games, popcorn tins, basket with lip gloss, nail polish, nail files etc., fun slippers, holiday socks,
I was at Ulta over the weekend and they had so many $1 items for a girl's basket.

Books if you know what they like to read, journals for the girls, hats and gloves, clothes (have yet to meet a teenager that doesn't like new clothes) bath and body stuff. If either is into art a sketch book and some pencils. If they are anything like my kids, their backpacks might be wearing out or there could be other school supplies they are running low on. My 14 year old told me she will need more notebooks soon as hers are almost used up.

We had the same situation last year. . . here's what we did:

fleece blankets
journals, fancy pens/pencils
disposable cameras
flashlights
super sized candy bars
