“Honoring Hello Kitty's 40th, these crazy cute headphones ($250; beatsbydre.com) will at least have everyone smiling as the teen in your life tunes you out. Just kidding. She won't do that, because after this gift you'll be her number-one favorite person, ever.”

"I suspect my selfie-obsessed niece and nephew have no idea how to “shake it like a Polaroid picture.” You better believe I’m going to fix that this holiday season! This throwback camera ($70; target.com) fulfills my need for nostalgia, but also gives the tweens the instant payoff they’ve grown to expect from their iPhones. Double score!"
