Here is a checklist for really cool kids, aged tween to teen. If you have a son or grandson, this list makes a great gift list.
Gaming system. Our kids are absolutely obsessed with their video games. Even before they get one, your kid will know which one is cooler in his crowd, the PS3 or the X-Box. Don’t even try to reason with him once he is set on a gaming system. If all his friends love PS3s, then it’s a pretty fair bet that he will too. Same for the X-Box.
