PSA: The holiday shopping season has officially entered the chat. Yup, from now until the end of the year, we’ll shift our attention to making our lists and checking them twice to ensure we find the perfect presents for everyone. And with some of the most challenging people to shop for on said list always being teenagers, it’s better to secure their gifts sooner than later.
