The Serpent King by Jeff Zentner

This is a stunning, twist-you-heart-inside-out, beautiful coming-of-age story of three friends who are all outcasts in their small, narrow-minded town. It’s about learning to accept your past, present, and future, not letting your circumstances (including your parents) define you, and finding hope in the midst of difficulty.

Cat Goat Cheese Pizza
Groups of teens (mine included) love this easy-to-learn, hilarious game! Race against other players to slap a match between a card and the spoken word. Players must say the words in order (taco, cat, goat, cheese, pizza) and place down a card. IF the card in their hand matches the word they say, then you all smash down your hand. The player who gets rid of all their cards first WINS!

EOS Lip Balm
My daughter got these for all her friends last year — and they were a big hit!

Chunky Soft Stretch Cable Knit Beanie
We have two of these — they’re adorable.

Codenames
This is an exciting word game (think Password) for 2 – 8 players, even better with 4 – 8 players. The gist: two rival spymasters know the secret identities of 25 agents. Their teammates know the agents only by their codenames. Teams compete to see who can make contact with all of their agents first.

This will be so popular — 11 outlets plus 3 USB chargers!! Add in a few extra long charger cords, too!

Personalized Luggage Tag
Anyone else sending a teen girl off to college?

Fjallraven Kanken Backpack

Nike Air Force 1’s
Another show that never goes out of style!

The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo
This story is unbelievably good. I think it would help a LOT of girls to read Xiomara’s story because it will make them think about what it means to be a woman, a poet, a teenager becoming an adult, a mixed-raced individual, a faithful believer… Xiomara’s sick of boys and her parents focusing their attention on her curves. She’s sick of the church rules. She’s just frustrated. And she expresses this frustration not to her family or friends but in verse.
*NOTE: Language and some mature content.

Claw Clips
Good news! Claw clips are back in style once again.

The Selection by Kiera Cass
Well-written and very popular, this book series for teens is about a selection process for the prince to find and marry a princess. Many girls like this love triangle story filled with drama and political intrigue. I didn’t make it through all the books — only the first three — because this type of book isn’t my cup of tea but they’re a great choice for kids who like romance.

Moisture Rescue for All Skin Types
This is hands-down the best oil-free, gel-cream face moisturizer for all skin types, formulated with antioxidant Vitamin C and a Fruit Water Antioxidant Complex.
