They can personalize their lockers, their rooms and their school supplies easily with this surprisingly affordable photo printer, which prints pics from any phone or social media account. (You do need to be able to install an app.) It connects wirelessly with Bluetooth, and prints onto 2” x 3” sticky-back paper. (You can always get more paper refills to go with it.)

Teens can deal with any acne in a better and more fun way than we ever did thanks to these celestial Hydrocolloid patches. Starface claims they improve pimples overnight while protecting them from bacteria and infections.

They can spend hours folding and unfolding this mystery cube. When it unfolds, it forms any number of different shapes and reveals different patterns inside. Then it becomes a puzzle to get it back into its cube form again.

With this station, they'll be able to keep their devices neat, organized — and fully charged, which means no more excuses for missed text messages. It has the capability to charge an Apple phone, Apple AirPods and Apple Watch all at once, though there are also similar charging stations for Samsung devices.

If they're artsy, give them a new medium to work in. If they feed plastic filaments through this pen, it melts and becomes like a 3D printer. You can adjust the heat and the speed of the flow, but be sure to keep the tip clean, or it can clog.

Lokai bracelets are all about balance: Each white bead has water from Mt. Everest, and each black one has mud from the Dead Sea, reminding us o four own highs and lows. There are Disney, sports and "cause" collections as well.

These look so striking on a wall, it takes a moment to figure out they're Lite Brite!

"This wall art project is very awesome; it’s super unique, and we’ve never seen anything like it,” said one Good Housekeeping Institute tester. The set comes with three pop art-inspired templates that are 16" by 16" inside.

This is a pop-up book, but it's not for little kids. Instead, the pages unfold to become amazing things, like a working planetarium that can project constellations onto the walls, a speaker that can amplify sound or a playable musical instrument.

Treat any budding cinephile to this poster, and set them on a years-long project to watch some of history's greatest films. (Some are rated R, so they can't do it all while they're 14.) Once they see the movie, they can scratch off the square below it to reveal its icon, creating a more colorful poster as the project goes on.

They'll be out on their own soon enough — better make sure they're prepared. This book can teach them many useful skills, like how to sew a button or make a perfectly cooked egg. Then, as they get older, it can guide them through more adult challenges, like how to clean a house in 15 minutes or do simple home repairs.

It seems every 14-year-old wants to add a bit of sparkle to their bedroom. Not only does this set come with 17 feet of fairy lights, it has 50 clear clips for hanging photos.

This drone shoots 1080P HD videos and sends them straight to a smartphone, so they'll be able to take aerial videos and photos with ease. Good Housekeeping testers liked that it had voice control, trajectory flight options and an auto hover feature, but they disliked that it only has 20 minutes of flight time.

Pickleball is the newest sport craze, and if your teen is interested in trying it out, get them going with this starter set. It comes with two graphite paddles, three outdoor pickleball balls, one indoor pickleball ball and a carrying case for it all.

Now they can be cozy and stylish, all at the same time. The Sherpa fabric is super soft and very warm, and the 50" x 60" size is perfect for bundling. It also comes in a lot of different tie-dye patterns.

They can use real songs from artists like Bruno Mars, Childish Gambino, Ed Sheeran, Imagine Dragons or The Weeknd in this game, which challenges their producing skills. Every card dealt to a player is a track, and the tracks combine to make new sound mixes.

They can add a pop of color to their rooms as well as a little sparkle in the night. If the cactus doesn't work with their decor, there's also other shapes, like a rainbow, a hello word bubble, a pineapple, a unicorn and a rose.

AirPods are so easy for teens to lose. With their bright colors, these are easy to keep track of, but they still connect with the Apple W1 headphone chip. They'll also last for 12 hours before needing to be recharged.
