Teenage virtual world Habbo has very kindly found out what kids really want for Christmas. So, if anyone was thinking about buying a good book for their teenager then perhaps it’s time for a rethink.
Video games and mobile phones are by far the most desired gifts. In a survey of more than 4,500 UK teens (36% female and 64% male) aged 11 – 18, 39 % really want a games console or PC . The top brand is Xbox followed by the Wii. Mobile phones are also sought after with Sony Ericsson branded phones the favourite choice (34%) followed by Noka, then the iPhone.
Apparently clothes will also make your teenager break into a smile, with sports brands Nike and Adidas the most popular. High street chain Topman is also considered an acceptable retailer to buy clothes from.
