Don't just buy a selfie stick. They're obnoxious and cumbersome, and you're better than that. Instead, get the kid whose fingers constantly swipe and tap across a small touchscreen something that will open up an entire world of selfie-taking, Facebooking, Instagramming and Tweeting possibilities no matter where they are.
