California-Themed Gifts

• When shopping for a California teen online, stay away from all of the California-themed memorabilia out there. A teen living in the Golden State is perfectly capable of purchasing a sweatshirt or coffee mug emblazoned with their hometown if they so desire. However, you can capture a California theme they'll love in the form of a gift card. A Disneyland gift card is a great option--if a birthday or graduation is coming up, help your teen with a trip to the happiest place on earth. Disney's official website sells Disneyland gift cards. Other California-themed gift cards that can be purchased online for teens include California Pizza Kitchen (restaurant), Pacific Sunwear (clothing), Six Flags Magic Mountain (theme park) and Westfield shopping centers (malls, located throughout California).
  
  

Nature Loving

• Whether they're a Southern Californian surfer or a Northern Californian hiker, there are many outdoor activity options in California, and your teen is sure to love at least one of them. Find out from relatives, friends or the teen personally where the outdoor love rests, and consider ordering some new gear for this pastime. For those who love the water, check out the equipment and clothing found at Becker Surfboards. For those who prefer rugged terrain, backpacking or rafting, try REI online or Any Mountain. These items can be easily purchased online and shipped directly to your California teen.
  
  

California Dreamin'

• Teens love to decorate and redecorate their rooms. For girls, a gift from Artistic Sensations' California Kids Bedding collection can make a fun gift. From black and white zebra print to bright and funky flowers, all designs complement a California bedroom well. For guys, give them their first cologne for their nightstand with a fragrance like Hollister California. Purchase these online and ship away.
