Top 5 Gifts For Teens
1) Near-Ear Bluetooth Speaker

You don’t have to negotiate between wireless speakers or earphones. These Bluetooth beach speakers create a personal, near-ear listening experience to give you the best of both. They’re heat-, sand-, and splash-proof—and they work beyond the beach, too. Listen to your favorite tunes, still hear what’s going on around you, and leave others free from hearing your music.
2) Molecule Science Necklace

A handcrafted science necklace is a striking way to make a subtle statement. Molecules star in these chemistry-inspired pieces created by a science teacher. Each bears a scientifically accurate—and lovely-looking—compound in stainless steel. It’s a slyly personal piece with meaning explained in an included card. Give one as a dose of something needed or to showcase a love of all things science. Made in the USA.
3) Retractable Phone Charger

A retractable USB charger solves frayed, twisted, and tangled cable problems. The 31-inch, fast-charging flat cable extends just as long as you need it and retracts when you don’t. Able to charge up to two devices, this charger is easy to take with your wherever you go—it has retractable prongs and even a clip to attach it to your bag.
