My DSS finishes his exams soon and I'd like to put him together a gift bag for when he's finished.

So far, on the list is Prime and some chocolate.

Any ideas on what else please?

Gift vouchers for summer activities like cinema vouchers, x box vouchers etc.

Snacks like fancy popcorn, pick and mix, nachos.

Books, magazines.

Fragrance samples. All the teenage boys I know are going mad for expensive aftershave atm 🙄

Thanks both, I've added to the list.

Definitely gift vouchers for food/drink eg Nando's, Greggs (kids like it I believe!), Five Guys etc. Cinema/bowling.

A new computer game he might want?

Tour of a football stadium?

Sweets, crisps, popcorn etc

Greggs or Nando's might be a good idea. I think stadium tours and PlayStation games might be out of reach financially but thank you

A nice certificate folder for him to keep his certificates in. It's so important to keep them safe and they cost £££ to replace

Otherwise as others have said snacks and vouchers so he can enjoy his summer.

Perhaps you could pay for some work related courses to help him get a job, look at the local vocational college First Aid Course, Food Hygiene, prob too young for bar man but that sort of thing. Set him up for a good students job with a bit of edge over others

Anything he likes that's not allowed for school? Mine hated the black uniform socks so we bought lots more brightly coloured ones to celebrate.

Sun cream, sun glasses, sun cap, swimming shorts (feeling optimistic 🌞)
