Finding a gift for a teen that they would like can be tricky. Here are some tips from DealDash for gifting to teens.

Maybe the occasion is Valentine’s Day, a birthday, a graduation gift, or something else – teens are difficult to find gifts for. At least gifts that they really enjoy! The good news is that DealDash has many things that are not only perfect for teens, but they will love as well! Read on for some tips for finding gifts for teens.

Boys, Girls, Unisex?

DealDash has some things that are great for guys or girls, and some that would be a great gift for either. The first thing that you’re going to need to determine is if you want to get something that is more gender-specific such as perfume or hair products, tools or cologne, or something like a gift card that’s great for anyone. DealDash has all of these items and more available for bid every day, 24/7.

Age Range

There is a big difference between a child that has just turned 13 and an almost adult who is 19 – yet they are both teens. You’ll want to take into account the age and maturity of the teen that you are trying to find a gift for. For example, I know many 13, 14, and 15-year-olds who still love playing with Legos (and honestly some adults!) but most of the 16-19 crowd is more interested in computer items, TVs, and other electronics. Luckily, DealDash has both Legos and everything that you need in terms of electronics.

Outdoorsy? Couch Potato?

It would be a bad idea to give a tent or other camping equipment to a teen who thinks “roughing it” includes staying at a hotel that doesn’t include a breakfast buffet. On the flip-side, there are many teens who love sports, the camping, and generally living an outdoor lifestyle.

Just because someone is young doesn’t mean that they don’t know what they enjoy. Look at some of their favorite activities now, and try to find something that complements their tastes. Don’t try to change their interests – it won’t work! Never fear, DealDash has something that both couch potatoes and the outdoorsy folk will enjoy.

Busy moms everywhere are having a difficult time losing weight and staying healthy due to so many other chores. Here are some tips from DealDash to try to fit in some exercise.

Are you a busy mom? Has it been a few years since you had your last baby, yet you still haven’t lost all of the baby weight? It’s so difficult to find time to fit in exercise with all of the other chores that you need to do each day. Here are some quick tips from DealDash to help you get slimmed down and feeling your best.

Mix Chores with Exercise

That’s right! The next time that you need to vacuum get a work out in while you clean. If you still have a baby small enough to wear in a carrier, strap that baby on and wear them while you vacuum. The extra weight that the child adds provides more resistance, so you are burning more calories than without the baby. If you think that your baby is too big to wear, you just need a different carrier! If you have a mei tai carrier (an extremely long piece of cloth that you tie to hold the baby) you can carry a child up to about 4 years old!

If you don’t have a child small enough to wear in a carrier, then try putting on ankle weights when you vacuum. The ankle weights provide resistance as well, so try and wear the heaviest weights that you can wear safely.

Try Yard Work and Gardening

If you have a small child they would probably love to play in the dirt with you. Take your child outside with you to do the yard work and gardening. Doing yard work burns a surprising amount of calories:

Raking and bagging leaves: 350-450 calories per hour

Gardening: pulling weeds, planting flowers, etc.: 200-400 calories per hour

Mowing the lawn: 250-350 calories per hour

Watch Cartoons and Pedal

Watching cartoons with your child is normally an activity that burns zero calories. However, if you get a Gold’s Gym Folding Body Cycle from DealDash (as pictured below) you can get your work out in while you enjoy the show with your child. Now that DealDash requests that you give reviews to the products that you win, you can see how well this product might work for you.
