What is a good holiday gift for teenagers (14-18 yo)?

I am throwing a Christmas Party for work and I already have MANY prizes that have to do with electronics (ipod, portable dvd player, dvd player, shower CD radio, digital camera, gift cards, season passes to Six Flags, PC camera, movies, Ipod Speaker Dock, Stereo with ipod dock and USB connection, etc). I just want to find other gifts aren't electronics. Please help and thanks in advance! HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!!

1. Gift cards. besides electronics it is hard to shop for gifts because of the age we live in where we rely so much on these little gadgets. Gift cards seem to be safe though. Hats, baseball caps for guys sometimes. If you know them personally try to get a miniature of something or someplace that you had a great time at, or get something that would remind you of an inside joke.
2. How about a classic board game like CLUE, Monopoly, or any of the other milton bradley games. Those are usually great things to get cause then you have a great family activity for the day.
3. WITH MY PAST EXPERIENCE WITH TEEN AGERS WITCH I HAD 6 OF THEM I FOUND EITHER CLOTHES OR JEWELRY WAS WHAT THEY WANTED.
4. Do goodie bag type gifts.... girls---nail polishes, spa certificate, perfumes, anything girlly. boys--- magazine subscipts, cds, tools, anything boyish either sex--- movie grab( asst. dvd's, popcorn, candy) Date night--- restraunt cert., movie tickets, maybe even a limo ride Any teenager who has a drivers license can always use Gas Gift certificates. My cousins love getting those, for that matter im 25 and i love getting them.
5. For girls i would go make up cases for sure and then maybe some accessories like jewellery or purses. For guys sports stuff like skateboards or a hockey stick or something. Maybe some funny movies, or interesting books.
6. beanie style hats are in. baseball caps from american eagle, hollister, pacsun. girls are really into scarves and mittens, try old navy. itunes gift cards are a must. girls love lipgloss. t-shirts and sweatshirts from the above stores. also perfume and cologne from the above stores. i have a teen and work with teens, these are what i'm hearing they want this year.
7. Gift cards are great because they allow people to actually pick their own gift and you feel great because you gave them something they really wanted. Prepaid credit cards are also good too.
8. Gift cards to the local mall, or reloadable Visa/Mastercards allow teens to select their own gifts. These are also the years when self-image matters a lot, so perfumes, aftershaves, cosmetics or other toiletries are often appreciated. Movie passes or event tickets and gift certificates to local restaurants are also aprreciated, since most teens are on limited income and would love to be able to take a date to a nice movie and dinner without breaking the bank.
