Graceful Baskets has my personal favorite budget-friendly Christmas gift basket for teens. Their Christmas Sweets & Treats basket costs only $29.95. Sweets included are gourmet Christmas cookies, mocha cappuccino, creamy vanilla chai tea, chocolate truffles, and a white chocolate covered pretzel rod. Treats are a Christmas CD, Christmas bear and the staple Christmas gift, Christmas socks. This is a budget-friendly Christmas gift basket your teen will love to receive.

If the Christmas Sweets & Treats basket is outside your price range, send you teenager the Festive Mug, also at Graceful Baskets. For $13.95, the holiday mug is filled with gourmet cookies, holiday cocoa, spiced chai tea, and chocolate truffles.

For a neat, sweet, treat for the teen that's always smiling, or needs to smile more, check out 1-800-Flowers for their All Smiles Cookie Gift Box. For $24.99, you can send Christmas wishes to your teen with 16 smiley faced sugar cookies in a colorful box. Budget at least $15 for the two-day shipping required for fresh packages.

Finally, at Holiday Gift Baskets, look for the Christmas Fortune Cookie Gift Box. This truly unique Christmas gift basket will be a teen favorite, containing 12, 24, or 48 fortune cookies hand dipped in dark, milk, or white chocolate or caramel. Each cookie has a holiday message inside, and this Christmas gift basket costs $19, $30, and $54 respectively. However, due to the danger of chocolate melting, this Christmas gift basket can only be shipped by expedited overnight air, adding a hefty shipping cost on to the final price.
