Holds nine cans and a little ice…for just the right amount of time.Ĥ. Igloo Grateful Dead Bertha Cooler: The perfect size cooler for a boat, a dock, a bird buggy, or the driveway. We are a HUGE Sonos house, and have been extremely happy with all of their products. Sonos Roam Speakers: Bring your tunes with you wherever you go. Seriously – how do you say no to this hat?Ģ. Teton Gravity Research (TGR) Pink Corduroy Ski Bear Hat: You had me at ‘pink corduroy’. Obviously you’ve got Pesca Muerta, who has been killing it for years, but here are a few more, not-so-obvious choices…ġ. Here is a good collection of gifts for the guy who is into the Dead, and needs to up his game – both in Dead-themed merch as well as in music. He is all too appropriate as the inspiration behind this one.

Quite a few of his conversations were around bands – especially mid-70s bands (Zeppelin, Aerosmith, etc.). I never change the station on SiriusXM, and my Spotify playlists are Dead heavy.

I would say that roughly 50-60% of the music I listen to is Grateful Dead. We’ve suggested the Odeon Limitless cinema pass and the GymShark gift card here, but if there’s one brand your teenager wears - or just talks about - all the time, then consider that too.Buying for a guy who’s a stoner at heart? A ‘Slater’ with a sport coat? That’s me. There are plenty more suggestions ahead, but if all feels too overwhelming, then don’t feel like a gift card is copping out: if you nail the retailer, it can be a much-appreciated midway point between choosing the wrong thing and just putting some cash in their Christmas card.

Maybe they’d even be keen to start making their own: find a starter Fender in trending ‘60s orange and a plug-and-play Pioneer controller in our list. Scope out what they’re listening to this year and consider a couple of vinyl records, or the whole set-up including record player and amp if they’re yet to plumb the depths of the vinyl revival. For make-up, opt for Glossier, choose Harry Styles’ brand Pleasing for nail varnish, and consider adding some cult skincare brand Starface bits and pieces in their stocking. As such, most - if not all - of the following gifts would be suitable for girls, boys and gender non-conforming individuals. One of the most wonderful things about today’s teenagers is that gender means less than it ever has. So having already compiled our guides to the best gifts for men and best gifts for women, here's our look at the best gifts for teenagers. From a good old-fashioned pair of Doc Martens to a room-brightening homeware item, teenagers now aren’t so different from how you were at that age. As ever, we at GQ advise staying calm, because buying for the adolescent in your life is about to get extremely easy. As the chances of modern-day teenagers saying something offensive at the dinner table have decreased with their increasing socio-political awareness, the difficulty of buying presents for them has only compounded. No matter how much you know they’ll soon become nice, normal grown-ups. No matter how relatively pleasant they are. Since adolescents are so uniquely terrifying, choosing the best gifts for them can prove tricky.
