They've grown out of toys, and they're at the age where a soft treat earns you a hard look. But don't worry, it's not such a big deal. We'll be happy to help you choose a gift for your teen.
Finding a gift for the biggest critics, which most teenagers will become, can seem like a superhuman task. As long as you don't go in on them with warm socks and gear for their future living arrangements, it won't be that hard. Check out a few tips to help you become the best parent you can be, at least for a day.
Escape games
Escaping from reality is sometimes handy. And escape games are a great gift for girls and boys of any age. Some are for the more seasoned, but many of them are fine for younger years to play. If you feel like your teens aren't moving enough, give them an outdoor escape game instead of a traditional one, where they get to take a walk in the fresh air while figuring it out.
Destruct therapy to blow off steam
Destruction therapy is a gift that will entertain right under the tree. Gift recipients will also have fun during the experience itself. Because where else can they get their hands on a baseball bat and sprays to enjoy the destruction to the fullest and without the risk of getting into big trouble? Only the car that's already done its time on the road will be the only one to get the brunt of their rampage.
Lightsaber training
Got a Star Wars fan at home? Splurge with the fun gift of 3 hours of lightsaber combat. They'll learn the basic moves and then get to fight with a sparring partner. He can fight for good or join the dark side. It's up to him.
Free fall in the wind tunnel
What does freedom look like? Like this! In the wind tunnel, the recipient gets the authentic feeling of free fall, only they don't have to worry about the parachute not opening. But it's going to be a blast, because it's blowing at speeds of up to 270 km/h inside! This free fall simulator can also be gifted with virtual reality in which they fly in space, over Manhattan and even over Prague.
Indoor surfing in Surf Arena Prague
A family holiday is more like a punishment? You won't go to the sea to surf, but you can enjoy it in Prague's Surf Arena. They'll try a bunch of silly things on an artificial wave and by the end of the experience they'll be riding their boards almost like pros.
Bungee for those who are not afraid of it
Looking for a gift for intrepid girls or guys? We've got a Christmas gift tip that might even make their knees shake a little. While bungee jumping, they can try what it's like to jump headfirst down from the TV tower in Harrachov, from a crane, or straight off the highest bridge in the Czech Republic.
Experiences for animal lovers
Always wanted to take home an animal, but no time or conditions? Make their dream come true at least like this. Under the tree, they're guaranteed to enjoy a day on the farm, where they'll get to experience horse care, horse riding and then a tractor. And instead of horses, they'd rather have dogs? In that case, a dog sled ride is the obvious choice.
Renting virtual reality to your home
What to give someone who loves games but you're not familiar with them? A virtual reality rental with 20 games is the perfect gift. Most of the games will make him sweat, too, as few of them are seated. So it's actually quite a win win situation.
Board games for calmer natures
Not every teenager will appreciate an action-packed experience as a gift. If he prefers to go on adventurous quests in his imagination, board games are an absolutely great gift. With them, he can practice his strategic thinking, or perhaps try out how challenging it would be if he were trying to break through with an amateur band.
Just be careful before Christmas, quite possibly teenagers mention something they would like. So listen to them well and get a nice climb under the tree.
