Small gifts for older teen boys

I have a few teenage boys (16+) to buy for. Can't spend too much so under a tenner. Any tips on what to buy? None are particularly sporty. They are all quite mature for their age. I've no idea though. Help!

Lots of nice headphones in TK Maxx at the moment. Road-tested the Panasonic ones last year and they were, apparently, great.

Headphones popular around these parts because they seem to get lost all the time.

Money.

Amazon vouchers.

Food. Nice chocolate very popular around here.

Gloves.

Will try and think about more stuff ...

Comic books? Do any of them play an instrument? You can buy sheet music and bits and bobs for the instrument (eg. fancy schmancy plectrums).

Headphones are a good idea.

Books or a Box Set.

They will probably like Karl Pilkington or David Mitchell, recently my similar aged DS got books by these two and was thrilled.

Inbetweeners series 1-3 is around a tender on amazon and maybe HMV, Breaking Bad and Entourage are also popular. A funny Christmas DVD like Bad Santa or one of the stand up comedian DVDs.

Boots have ITunes gift cards on offer at the moment? Could you stretch to £12? This will get you a £15 gift card.

All the other iTunes amounts are also on offer. I bought two £25 ones for £20 each.

Mini speaker - got one each for my DSDs last Xmas and they are brilliant.

Argh sorry I got the numbers in your OP mixed up - those speakers are over the tenner, sorry.

I was able to buy iPods £45 for £7. But can't find the link now, but worth signing up for their emails!
