And just like that, my babies are 15 years old. This is quite a milestone birthday, so I’m going to help by sharing what we bought for 15th birthday gifts for our girl and our boy this year.
The older our teens get, the more challenging it may feel to buy them a gift that they’ll truly appreciate or love.
Let’s face it, when they were toddlers, you could gift them very little and yet get the biggest smiles and hugs from them. Fast forward to their teens, it takes a lot more effort and thought these days to figure out gifts that won’t sit in a corner of their closet and collect dust.
Hakuna matata, we’ve compiled a list that surely won’t disappoint the teen this year!
