Teens are not always the cuddliest, fuzziest Valentine's Day gift recipients. Sometimes, as parents, it can be tempting to dump a box of chocolates right over their heads when they say "But Mooooommmmm" one more time! But parents remember when their teens were tiny tots holding out sticky fingers and their first handmade "I Love You" valentine card, so they still manage to love them with all their (so to speak!) hearts. What are some fun gift ideas for the teens in your life?
Teen Stationery
Teens are used to text messaging, instant messaging, and emailing, but many still appreciate the sentiment of an old-fashioned note card. Cute customized note cards with your teen's name on them may help lower the text message number on the wireless bill next month, but it also shows teens that nothing is better than getting a handwritten notecard in the mail.
Car Magnets
If your teen has started driving, consider a surprise set of Valentine car magnets for their car. Especially cute for 'teens in love,' this easily removable gift set of Valentine's Day heart magnets from What on Earth might be just the sassy conversation hearts they need to celebrate the love-liest day of the year.
Giant Personalized Fortune Cookie
Looking for a creative, inexpensive way to say I Love You to your special teenager? These Valentine's Day personalized fortune cookies are delicious, clever ways to send a message. You could write a quick poem, thank her for all her hard work at school, or simply say I love you and add her name- no matter what message you choose, your teenager will undoubtedly produce a rare smile at the custom fortune inside her yummy cookie.
Custom Perfume
How many teens can go to school the day after Valentine's Day telling their friends they have their own custom perfume? Esens lets you create a personalized fragrance for your teen based on her personality. The packaging is cute, cost is reasonable, and process is easy and pretty quick. This makes a unique, sweet-smelling gift for teens.
Anti-Valentine's Day gifts
Teens love t-shirts with edgy statements on them. If your teen is not currently dating someone and has been known to make somewhat anti-Valentine's Day statements, why not go with the flow and choose a t-shirt, coffee mug, hat or pin that pokes fun at Cupid and company? Cafepress offers a bunch of neat products with sassy messages for the sarcasm-friendly teen.

Did your teenager get an ipod for Christmas? It can be tough to keep up with the chargers, cases, speakers, and other ipod accessories. Istore offers all the latest ipod gadgets for whatever version of the ipod your teen owns.
Sometimes a simple "I love you" with a hug is the best gift for a teenager- but hopefully some of these ideas will create fun Valentine's Day memories for the teen in your life.
