Parents know teens are hard to shop for. Hence, finding gifts they love that cost less than $100 isn’t easy. If you have multiple kids, the purchases add up quickly if you want to fulfill their holiday dreams.
Even as kids get older, it’s fun to put some toys under the Christmas tree for them. But it’s important to find items that won’t cost a fortune or get stuffed under the bed by New Year’s Day. Fortunately, Target has all you need for tweens, teens and anyone who isn’t ready to grow up this holiday season.
1. LEGO Creator 3 in 1 Retro Camera
- Price: $15.99
Many teens today are into retro technology. This LEGO Creator 3-in-1 Retro Camera kit is fun to build and, once it’s done, makes a great display item in your teen’s room. Build a camera with moving parts, a 1990s-era handheld video camera or a mini tube TV complete with rabbit ear antennae. Best of all, as LEGO kits go, it’s an incredible bargain at under $20.

5. PowerA Game Console Controllers
