We've called it. Tweens and teens' Christmas wishlists this year are out of control.

Tech.

We all know how vital tech is for tween and teens. But if you don't want to slash they don't need new tech, they will really appreciate some tech accessories. They're nearly as vital as the tech itself. Plus, if you don't have a projector for their teen cave, it's so fun for movie nights, or watching Youtube when their friends are over.
