When all else fails, cash is always welcome. You can be more creative by presenting the teen with a gift card to his favorite store, if you know what it is. Be creative when presenting cash. Instead of just handing over a fistful of money, place it in money holder-type card or in a neatly wrapped box. Just because he's a teenage boy doesn't mean you have to skip a nice presentation.

Whether it's his birthday, graduation, seasonal holiday or simply a reward for good grades, you don't have to spend a lot of money to make a teen guy happy. Pinpoint his interests and shop accordingly to get a gift that he'll love.
