Do teens expect to receive gifts at Christmas?
Typically, if teens live at home with family, they will expect some gifts at Christmas, particularly if they have younger siblings receiving gifts on the day. How many gifts, and the cost of a teen’s Christmas gifts will vary between families, as this is dependent on budget and overall family expectations. Christmas gift cards are a great way to give a gift to the entire family, where an activity like seeing a new movie or doing something new and daring, can be done as a family together.
