TOP 10 HOLIDAY SHOPPING LIST FOR TEENS AND COLLEGE KIDS

 

I have never been this behind on Christmas EVER!!! The combination of an ART show that opened December 1st and ALL OF MY pet portrait holiday commissions set me behind and I am SCRAMBLING to make Christmas happen. I KNOW I KNOW – it isn’t about the stuff…and we have dialed back dramatically but seriously – I gotta get them something!!! So Thank God for my kids who supplied me with lists complete with links and I let my fingers do the shopping!!!

HOLIDAY SHOPPING for teens and College kids can be daunting. For one – they are picky picky picky. And the things they want are often widely sought after and disappear fast.

And the good news is that with the exception of a few Video Games  –  Boys and Girls want similar items
