What teen doesn’t like to go to the movies? I know I do and I love to bring my friends too. Most movie theaters offers gift cards for movie tickets. At AMC, you can buy personalized gift cards (simply upload your own photo and a message) or choose a standard card including Star Trek and scratch ‘n sniff popcorn. You can choose a standard amount ($25, $50, $75, $100) or any amount of your choosing.

At Regal Cinema, you can buy a gift card for two tickets and a concessions stand gift certificate in one pack, or choose a card with any amount.

Check your local theater for gift card options.

If you live close to a CVS Drugstore, you can get the new Star Trek DVD for $9.99 with the purchase of a $15.00 iTunes Gift Card.  This bundle would make a great Holiday Teen Gift!  This offer is good from November 17 – 21, 2009.

I was low on makeup and just bought $15 worth of Revlon stuff and received a $7.00 extra buck coupon.  Tomorrow, I will go back, buy the $15 iTunes Gift Card and get the Star Trek DVD for only $2.99 after using my coupon.  What a deal!

The cool computer is no longer the laptop, it is the Netbook.  A netbook computer is smaller than a laptop and very portable.  A Netbook is a compact, streamlined mobile device designed specifically for the Internet.  You can access your email, social networking sites and more!  It is a great companion to your home computer.

Netbooks do not have the full capabilities of computer, but they specialize in portability and the Web.  They are small, compact and easy to carry around.  You can share information between your home computer and the netbook.

One of my favorite Netbooks is the MSI Wind Netbook with Intel Atom Processor.  This netbook sells for under $290 and has the following features:

A great gift for a teen guy is the new video game Call of Duty – Modern Warfare 2.  This is an action packed video game with different scenarios.

Modern Warfare 2 is a first-person tactical shooter and the sixth entry in the popular Call of Duty series. True to its name and following the lead of its predecessor, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, it places players in modern combat settings, as opposed to the WWII environments of the earlier Call of Duty games. This modern approach brings with it new weapons, action and options. Coupled with a variety of gameplay modes including single player, multiplayer and the co-op Special Ops Mode, it is destined to be one of the most popular games of 2009 and a worthy addition to the Call of Duty series.

Note that this game is rated M for mature audiences.  Make sure that your teen is allowed this type of video game before purchasing.
