Record players have made a comeback in recent years, and this Crosley Voyager Turntable ($80, originally $100) is all the rage.

One of our POPSUGAR editors reviewed the Crosley Voyager Turntable and says it's great for special occasions.

We all know someone who would love the Dash Fresh Pop Popcorn Maker ($25). Making popcorn can feel like just as much of an experience as actually going to the movies with this red kitchen essential. Your 14-year-old will enjoy using it with their friends on the next movie-night sleepover.

This hilarious box of Sushi Socks ($23) comes with three pairs of themed socks. The socks look identical to sushi, so much so, they're worth giving for your teen's reaction alone.
