One Direction - the new boy band from the UK
This boy band with British and Irish members formed to compete in X-Factor. I guess the boys had their dream come true. At least so far. They brought out their debut album at the end of 2011 and it became an instant hit. It topped the charts in sixteen countries.
What's there to say about a boyband as new as this? They've already brought out a DVD and a book and a new album is coming up.
Hunger Games Gifts
Hot items for Christmas
The Hunger Games is a a science fiction movie (and book series) featuring teens (10-18) who have to play a game of survivor - killing each other off. Not the most positive and upbeat topic. Still, it resonates with kids who live in a school culture that's highly competitive as well.
Is this a good movie to go see with your children? It's one of those 'depends' issues. If you talk about it with your kids, this movie won't do them any harm. Instead it will help them face up to some serious ethical questions that have to be thought about. The main one is: How important is success and survival, would you give up your friends to get it?
That's serious stuff, sure. But teens can handle a bit of serious.

Teen Girl Fashion and Accessories
Hot items for Christmas
Have fun giving your teen girl accessories or cloths.
Johnny Depp
An unlikely teen hero
He is one of my favorite actors and despite being a bit old for me, I still think he's hot.
Winner of the 2011 Teen Choice Award for Best Action Actor and Best Voice Actor, he is cool precisely because he doesn't care about that stuff. He is listed in the 2012 Guinness Book of World Records as the highest paid actor, with $75 million.
Aside from being handsome, he's also one of the best actors alive. Johnny Depp is capable of starring in roles as wide apart as a pirate in the Pirates of the Caribbean and Mad Hatter in Alice and Wonderland. His most popular movies seem to be kind of scary.
Cute Jewelry for Teenagers
Jewelry doesn't necessarily have to be made from precious metals and gems in order to create a lasting impression in gift recipient's mind.
If you know the Teenager's likes and dislikes and gift appropriate Jewelry for Christmas - the Teenager would surely appreciate the gift.
The choice is pretty wide and it's not possible to list all the options here, however - please take a look at some of the Jewelry items I selected and I'm sure you'll find something close to what you actually want to purchase.

As many of you know, I make a living as an online publisher. This involves writing about stuff that interests me, like the spiritual path and karma, spiritual book reviews and so on. However, to make ends meet, I also do product recommendations.
That is: I recommend products, and you - the potential customer - get to have less of a chore finding them. It's a win-win, especially since I get a percentage for each sale. The deal is this: follow a link on any of these pages and buy something, and you - without any extra cost to you - are sponsoring me to keep on going.
I've started out of course with spiritual gifts, but there are also calendars, laptops, iPads, Harry Potter gear etc. It's all stuff I have bought or would buy if my house room and pockets were infinite. They're not and that's OK.
