I use the first-generation Apple Pencil for my artwork on an iPad 10.2 and it has transformed my art. With apps like Procreate, you can get a little help in the areas you struggle with.

The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is one of the most exquisite Switch games around. This is an original story about a Jedi in hiding who is forced to pick up the lightsaber once more.

This pack is based on the video game of the same name, and features Leonardo, Donatello, a Foot Soldier, and the evil terrapin Slash.

It is made with real leather so looks extremely smart and will also be functional and durable. With card storage and a zipped pocket for coins, this wallet has plenty of space to keep everything organized. This is something that should be encouraged, with all the stresses and turbulence of the teenage years, having a safe place to retreat to is invaluable.

LED Strip Lights
They’re essentially four-inch models of popular characters redesigned in the Funko style. What’ makes them so great is just how cool they look when you’ve got a shelf full of everything that matters to you. I have a mix of video games, TV shows, and movie Funko Pops all on a bookcase and it’s just a joy to look at. A PopSocket makes a really useful, practical little gift for a 13-year-old girl.

Sure, Moto isn’t the most extravagant brand name out there, but if you’re after a killer phone that does it all and is super affordable, forget the name brands and spend smart. The Fender Stratocaster is without question the most iconic guitar out there. It’s the same guitar model greats like Jimi Hendrix used. The main body is made from maple wood while the backing is alder wood. Those are both high-quality woods, which goes to show just how much love and care Fender puts into its instruments.

Name necklaces have been worn by teenage girls for decades – they’re a rite of passage, really. This one can be customized in a myriad of ways; you can choose from 5 pretty finishes, 12 adorable fonts, and 5 chain lengths that range from a 14” choker to the longer 22”. I'm not the richest on the planet and therefore I don't expect a phone or a new laptop every Christmas. If you don't like any of these ideas then don't read this. If you like them, that's good for you because 13 year olds today act like 17 year olds. I'm not being offensive but I just want those rich people to know that they are lucky but they shouldn't have to take advantage of it.
What I love about this set is it’s not just a showpiece. The front of the ship features a hatch that lifts up to reveal a room the mini-figures can play in. It’s also worth noting, this thing is as stylish as they come. The laminated black body is really striking and sure to impress even the most teenage of teenagers.
In terms of gameplay, players control Star-Lord who is capable of zipping around an area like an overactive fly armed with two laser blasters. But as this is Guardians of the Galaxy, simply pressing a button will cause Groot, Gamora, or Drax to launch into a frenzied combo. It’s fun, and each battle feels chaotic in all the right ways. It comes with two rechargeable batteries, with each battery lasting 90 minutes when recording.
