Teenagers can be tricky customers when it comes to presents, so here is our list of top 10 gifts we recommend for 2024…
-
- Spiral fidget cone, a different take on a classic fidget spinner, this little gadget is mesmerising to watch and fits easily into a bag or desk drawer.
2. Pin art! An old classic, but we’ve all being playing with this a lot recently here at Autism Positive! So soothing to feel but then also to see the shapes displayed. Face print anyone?
3. Northern lights lamp, excellent for a soothing bed time routine. We like the lamps with different colour way options to suit your mood. Can also be set as a static image if your child doesn’t like the movement.
4. Build your own marble run, an excellent Christmas day activity – perfect for solo or family fun. Plus who doesn’t love playing with a marble run once it’s complete.
5. Weighted blanket, a classic gift but always well received. Perfect for winter afternoons snuggled up, or hiding away once the Christmas visitors arrive.
6. Sensory cuddle square, we’re loving this cuddle square for tactile feedback. Plus with a range of colours it will look good in any teenage bedroom.
7. Jellyfish lamp, if you’re not keen to own your own jellyfish, this soothing lamp creates a low light, and the gentle movements are relaxing to watch.
8. Spinner rings, available in many different designs and colours. They are a more sophisticated take on sensory jewellery and can reduce skin picking for some teenagers.
9. Jellycats! We’re especially loving the Christmas range, who can resist these soft touch toys yet still on trend enough for our teenagers.
10. Sticker maker machine, labels anyone? This bluetooth portable printer can produce doodles, memos, or notes directly from your phone.
We hope you enjoy these recommendations, we’d love to hear your ideas too!
