Gift Ideas For Teenagers Who Are Unimpressed By Everything

Teenagers are a difficult audience because sincerity is socially expensive for them and most adult gift-giving is drenched in it. Something dry, official-looking and mildly roasting occupies a register they can accept in public, which matters more than adults tend to assume.

Roast lightly, never punch down

Tease the habits — the reply times, the sleep schedule, the one food they will eat — never the person.

Make it shareable

If it is funny enough to send to a friend, it has succeeded.

Hide the sincerity at the end

One genuine line, positioned where it can be skipped, will still be read.

What makes it personal

Use the specific habits you are not supposed to have noticed.

What we would make

Government-Issued Relationship Report Card — $4.99

An absurdly official two-page assessment of their merits, infractions and continued eligibility — affectionate, specific and very formally typeset.

  • An official report grading room condition, sleep schedule and response latency.
  • A card marking a birthday with exaggerated bureaucratic gravity.
  • A coupon booklet of lifts, loans and rules temporarily suspended.

Also worth considering: Digital Emergency Card & Envelope.
