Stocking fillers for teen boys

18 replies

What are you buying your teens as stocking fillers.

DSS (17) has asked for us to pay for a holiday with his mate in the summer. We were going to give him cash as he didn't want anything specific but he has asked us to pay for this that he doesn't spend it.

We need something for him to open on Christmas Day preferable a few bits, open to spending £50 - £100

Underwear is a good shout!

He's not a big reader, and he has prescribed skin care due to bad acne I wouldn't want to get him something which might irritate his face.

I e just bought from primary for £2.50 socks inside a Pringle’s pot. I remember the pots from years ago and have been hunting everywhere for one but didn’t want to pay the overpriced eBay prices. Came across them in primary by chance!

PJs

Things for his holidays as PP said might be good too but maybe harder to get at this time of year.

DS (20)
He wants money (which is fine by us , no point buying him "things" )

For his Stocking gifts in the past:

phone charger cables ( what does he do with them) ?
socks
underpants
lounge joggers + tops ( usually Primark ones with The Walking Dead or Batman . ) to wear in the house .
Pez dispenser and refills
Shower gel
Water bottle
Wallet (and put a £1 in it for luck)
Guitar picks (I'm sure the phone charger cables and his plectrums have run away together !)
Viz Annual (one of the original ones when it was funny)

Planning to buy him some Premium Bonds

Condoms. Teenage boys love condoms. They’re cheap, and he’ll use them for sure!

Condoms Confused I hope he doesn't need them yet (15) but maybe I'm naive. What is Viz like? I would like to get him an annual but not sure if Private Eye or Viz is better and have to order online.
