Gifts for Teens?

It has become common (although not required) for couples to give the members of their wedding party thank you gifts. If you have any teen attendants, this means trying to figure out what "green" things teens these days are into. Having several teen nieces and nephews in my family, I decided to ask around. Here are a few of the sure fire favorites.

1. Recycled Messenger Bags. Cool at any age. Good for boys and girls - or ehem - young men and women. (Image is link)


2. A Recycled Wrapper Clutch. Probably only good for the young ladies. Colorful and fun - turning bubble gum wrappers into something mature. (Image is link)


3. A Recycled Can Wallet (sticking with the bag theme) - how can you not love it?


4. Anything with a bike chain - they are edgy. See Recycled Items and search for the item below.


5. Sports equipment - now you can find a Fair Trade Soccer Ball.


6. Things made from Elephant Poop.


7. A T-shirt with a message (made in USA).


Update: April 8th, 2008 - I have included these items along with many others on the new "interactive look book" Teen and Tween page.
