Tell me about your Christmas presents (or stocking fillers)for your 17 year old DS’s!

[Seaglass7]

Just looking for inspiration.

DS will be getting money as the main present, as he loves to shop for himself, but I want to buy some gifts for him to open.

Any ‘quirky’ gifts you’re buying your DS’s this year and this and age group?

We’ve bought him an aftershave gift box and chocolates so far. 🫣

There is a threat about this, OP with lots of ideas. The big one we've all gone for is a Crimpit!

This thread will help.

He had some of his Christmas budget last week to go to HP studio tours.
What's left was combined with the budget from my Mum and Lego was ordered on Black Friday.

• a small amount of £

One of the biggest hits last year was an atomiser, in a blokey style. Less than a tenner and both teens use for school/college/work.

This year we have scaled down on the smaller gifts as they had a few big ones they wanted but I also always do a hamper with nice toiletries, biscuits, chocolate orange.

Thank you all and thanks for the link to the other thread asking the same question! It’s a great thread and has given me some great ideas.
