Teens can sometimes be tricky to buy for as you’re never quite sure what’s hot and what’s not. Check out John Lewis’ guide to getting some great pressies for your dahhhling teenagers.

Polaroid 300 Camera in Black – £79.95

This is a great gift especially if your kids are already playing Assasin a la Gossip Girl stylee. It has an automatic flash, four scene settings and just makes a nice change to get an instant classic photo – for once.  Perfect for parties and out and about too as it’s a whole lot less cumbersome than the old skool one!

This pocket camcorder is super easy to use and shoots in HD and is SO simple to upload to YouTube with its built in USB arm.  The high quality lens can swivel over a 270 degree range for easy shooting from any angle including self-portraits. I’ve reviewed this on BBC2 Something for the Weekend and it’s fab!

Geeky couples rejoice: virtual iPhone valentine’s gifts

The Little World Gifts store is now open for Valentine’s Day selling gorgeous high-quality 3D virtual gifts for your online sweetheart. For those of you who tweet more than you talk and spend romantic evenings discussing your favourite smartphone, these little luxury virtual objects are just perfect! I’d quite like someone to send me an Elvis.

It’s basically an iPhone (and iPod Touch) app which allows users to send each other boootiful 3D virtual gifts that they can touch and play with (ooerr). The app also features a range of free gifts, and makes use of recent additions to the iPhone OS, allowing gifts to be bought via in-app purchase. They are also delivered in real-time using push notifications.

Simply buy then using your iTunes account so no hassle having to enter credit card deets. It also integrates with Facebook, so gifts are sent using your Facebook friends list, and can be shared and displayed in a separate Facebook app.
