Here is my second gift idea for parenting teenagers: Parents are often looking for ways to spend pleasant family time with their teens… and the right game can be the perfect ticket. Yomado is a new word game that will be right up the alley of those right-brained creative types, and a great exercise for those who spend too much time in their left-brain.

Ready to start your holiday shopping? I’m beginning a six-week series about varied and interesting gift ideas for your teenagers. I am not a product reviewer, and this Please Stop the Rollercoaster blog is not a product review blog… this will be completely subjective on my part! (Ah, the power of the pen! :>) And I’m confident if you visit regularly you will find a gift idea that is just perfect for a teenager you know. I have some really great gift ideas to share with you!

Teens love items that are a bit out-of-the-ordinary, and have meaning. And I love the way they will support the underdog. So for many of my gift suggestions I am relying on the good folks at the Daily Grommet who share the very same values. If you are not familiar with the Daily Grommet, allow me to introduce you to this special online retailer. The Daily Grommet is an online marketplace where you can discover innovative products and the stories behind them. They unveil a different product every day with a short video about it, sharing their personal experiences in testing the product and letting us know about the people behind it. With their mission to uncover unique products with special stories it can make your holiday shopping for teenagers really fun. Founder Jules Pieri has recommended a dozen great gifts for teenagers which I will share with you over the next few weeks, and I’ll add a few of my own notable items to our list.
