Christmas 2007: Gift Guide for Teen Girls

Let's face it - teen girls can be the hardest group to buy for at Christmas time. This year's hottest teen gifts under $500 include things that every girl between 13 and 19 has been asking for. Let's take a look at the top 3.

Pink Sony Cyber-Shot Digital Camera

Ok, other than being pink, why would teen girls want one of these? This small Sony digital camera is 7.2 megapixle - meaning the pictures they take of their friends and adventures will come out clean, crisp, and clear each and every time. This camera also features Super HAD CCD technology which further results in excellent pictures for posting online, making larger, and printing. The screen on the back of the camera is 2.5" and LCD. Other key points to this reliable, pink Sony digital camera are its amazing zoom ability, longer battery life with rechargeable batteries, 56MB internal memory, and MPEG movie-taking capability.

This Sony Cyber-Shot camera is available at electronics stores as well as leading retailers for about $180.

Apple iPhone

I was standing in line at a local cellular center and in walks a young teen. She specifically asked for the new Apple iPhone. Then, while I was in another store, another young female walks in and asks for the same Apple iPhone. This Christmas, I'm willing to bet that your teenage girl will also be asking for the new, trendy Apple iPhone.

This sleek iPhone made by Apple is a phone, 2MP camera, full IPod, and Internet in one. The reason many people want it - the phone is all touch screen! To make a call, you just touch the name or number on the large screen. Voicemails are listed so you can touch the screen to scroll and choose which to listen to. Want to text message? Simple. The iPhone shows a keyboard on its screen and you touch the letter keys and voila! The screen is bright and protected, the programs are fast, but the price of the iPhone is presently $399 through AT&T.

This iPhone is full of popular features and very high tech, and that is definitely why its a hot item on teenage girls' Christmas lists.

Compaq Presario Laptop

The Compaq Presario T2310 laptop would make a wonderful addition to your teenage girl's desk (or lap). She can take it with her to the library not to mention watch TV and do work at the same time. More importantly, she can IM friends from the comforts of her bed.

This Compaq Presario notebook features a reliable Intel Pentium Dual-Core processor, 1GB DDR2 memory, spacious 120GB hard drive, a DVD-RW and CD-RW drive, built-in wireless LAN, and Windows Vista. The screen is 15.4" and LCD. There are 3 USB ports so she can plug in her favorite accessories like an Ipod and printer. This entire laptop won't weigh her down either because it only weighs 6.4lbs and is 1.6" thick.

Best Buy is carrying this specific laptop for $499.
