10 Best Christmas Presents for Teens UK | Instax Nintendo and More

There was a clear winner when it came to selecting our number 1. After all, who doesn't like to listen to music? This speaker more than facilitates any genre, with very respectable sound quality, a mammoth 24-hour battery life and even an IPX 7 rating for when they spill something or leave it outside. 

The device is aesthetically pleasing with retro-inspired oversized buttons. On top of that, there is an in-built microphone, so they chat with their friends through the speaker. Best of all, it isn't going to break the bank!

If you're shopping for the teen that's already got everything, why not get something for their den? This collection of snazzy neon lights are perfect for adding a bit of atmosphere, character and livening up their room - especially those who hardly ever open their curtains! 

The neon light is easy to use and is powered via USB cable, which is very convenient in this day and age as most teens have USB plugs coming out of their ears. Additionally, the lights are completely safe thanks the low voltage, energy saving LED tubing. 

Over the years, boxing has slowly grown in popularity to become one of the biggest fitness trends thanks to celebrities like Gigi Hadid, Mrs Kardashian-West and Zak Effron. Not only does boxing keep the body in tip-top shape, but it also teaches self-defence and develops discipline.

We've opted for a pair of women's boxing gloves, but there are plenty of options online for boys as well. And don't worry, they come in other colours if the garish pink is a little too much!

Using a simple Bluetooth connection, this portable photo printer will let teens instantly bring their digital selfies to the physical world. Using the free app, they can edit their photos with design templates, collages and even a fun party print feature which allows them to create interesting and amusing prints with friends and family. 

The device is minute and easily transportable, which is surprising given the outstanding quality of the images it produces. If you're buying for a budding photographer or enthusiastic socialite, we're sure they'll be smitten. 

Ideal for any occasion and practically any teen, this unisex watch from Timex is a certified casual classic. With a blue nylon bracelet and buckle, the design will effortlessly work well with most outfits and styles.

Its got some pretty good features, such as battery life that lasts up to 10 years, and water-resistance up to 30 m. The face even has scratch-resistant glass. Perfect for teens as they can pop the watch on, and not worry too much about it getting damaged.

This fun little book is all about education, well, kind of. It's really a guide to the things that they don't teach you in school, like how to create a podcast, how to connect with a role model or how to throw a good party.

Whether the teen your buying it for has academic, creative, social or political goals in mind, there's bound to be something in here to amuse and interest both them and their friends. 

When it comes to buying clothing, it can be a risky business. Thankfully, there are some items that will be forever adored by people of all ages. If you're after timeless footwear, we recommend the classic Nike Air Force 1. 

The low cut leather trainer comes in a wide array of different colours, but we think sticking to the triple white (or triple black) is probably the best way to go, as this will easily pair with anything in their wardrobe. 

Skateboarding has seen a renaissance in recent years, and it's official, skateboarders are cool! They have that care-free attitude that makes them fearless, and scares parents in equal measure. Luckily, this nifty little cruiser will dispel some parents' concerns, while their teens can still keep up appearances.

These robust little guys have a larger set of wheels that are capable of tackling much rougher and tricky terrain, whilst remaining stable. This should hopefully mean no trips to A&E anytime soon. 

The Nintendo Switch was one of the most sought after consoles this year, thanks to its ability to be played anywhere. This is essentially a modern-day Gameboy, albeit with a few extra functions. For example, the Switch allows teens to connect with friends wirelessly and play either against each other or as a team. 

With a rich backlog of classic games such as Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 and Animal Crossing there's certainly enough to keep them entertained until next year! 

The cult classic Friends, has had somewhat of a glow-up since it was picked up by streaming giants Netflix. This has led to a new wave of hardcore fans, and right on queue, Lego has released what is sure to be one of its most sought after sets. 

This set lets you build the iconic Central Perk cafe, complete with all the usual suspects, including Gunther. While it's a rather niche gift, and a little expensive, we're sure any superfan would be thrilled to receive it. It could even be used as room decoration if they're a bit too old for playing.
