If you don't know exactly what gift your teen is hoping for, cash is the best way to go! I'm still young enough that I get money from my family when they're stumped... and I always enjoy it just as much as gifts that were hand picked for me, because it means that I get to go out and pick something that I have had my eye on, treat myself to a pedicure, or just have extra spending money in my purse for a rainy day. A great way to give money or gift card without feeling "too impersonal" is to attach a loving note along with it explaining that they get to pick their gift this time. It brings a lot of meaning forward, and you won't have to carry around the guilty feelings and hope they don't think you didn't spend time choosing something for them. Everyone wins!
