Help! 13th birthday present ideas for son who has everything!

3 replies

Decapitatedsausage · 27/02/2025 16:08

My son’s 13 in a few weeks and for the first time ever I have zero ideas and neither does he. He’s had a really rough year as I was diagnosed with cancer and we had to move house, so I want it to be special, but I can’t think how!

He already has a mini fridge, gaming pc, bike, phone, iPad etc.

He did say he wanted the new switch but I can’t see a release date or price, and whilst I could give him cash, he already has £450 saved up and rarely spends.

He asked if we could goto Paris but I can’t travel for the foreseeable either, and money is tight.

I feel like he got everything he wanted at Christmas - does any one have any ideas? His only real interests are gaming and he’s going go karting for his birthday party. Help!

What about an experience day?
A young driver driving lesson. Or a day trip to somewhere like Lego land. Or London?

Or pay for him and a few friends to do paintball.

I hope you are settled in the new house. Sounds like a tough time.

Could you take him to a fancy French restaurant?
