Parents know teens are hard to shop for. Hence, finding gifts they love that cost less than $100 isn’t easy. If you have multiple kids, the purchases add up quickly if you want to fulfill their holiday dreams.
Even as kids get older, it’s fun to put some toys under the Christmas tree for them. But it’s important to find items that won’t cost a fortune or get stuffed under the bed by New Year’s Day. Fortunately, Target has all you need for tweens, teens and anyone who isn’t ready to grow up this holiday season.
