If you are considering buying an electronic gift for a teen in your life this Christmas, this list is for you! Most teens are green with envy when they see their friends with the latest new electronic gadget or digital gizmo. This Christmas, let your teen be on the receiving end of the jealousy!

Here is a list of several of the most popular electronic gift ideas for teens.

MP3 Player

If the teen in your life doesn't already have one, an MP3 player is one electronic gift that is sure to please! Even if your teen has an MP3 player from a few years back, an updated model is sure to be appreciated. Set one of these cool electronic gifts under the Christmas tree this year, and watch your teen's eyes light up.

Well-known brands of MP3 players include Apple's iPod series and the increasingly-popular Zune. Prices for this popular electronic gift will range from under a hundred dollars, up to $200 or more for a quality MP3 player. More economical, generic options are available at electronics retailers such as Best Buy.

Portable CD Player

While an MP3 player is convenient and high-tech, many kids still need a simple, portable way to play their actual compact discs. For some parents, a flashy MP3 player for their teen will simply not be an option this Christmas. Still one of the best electronic gifts for a teen, a portable CD player is a far more economical choice than an MP3. Pick one up at stores such as Walmart and Best Buy for under $30.

You can also find portable CD players by searching brands such as Sony, Emerson and Coby online at Amazon's web site. The portable CD players here range from under $20 to over $50. Some players are also eligible for free shipping on Amazon, restrictions apply.

Hand-Held Game Player

Another hot electronic gift idea for teens this Christmas is a hand-held game system. Since the inception of the portable video game device, those possessing such prized electronic items have been the envy of every teenager on the block. Let your teen feel the rush of beating his favorite game on the fly, or kill two birds with one stone by choosing one that doubles as an MP3 player to listen to his music collection anywhere (PSP or DSi).
