Not very exciting but my recently turned 13yr old DS got android equivalent air pods, new hiking boots (he does Scouts and is growing like a weed), some War Hammer model kits, and some new clothes (as before, growing like a weed). He got cash and high street vouchers from family.
I have said he can choose a day out somewhere as a birthday treat with his friends too.

Girl or boy?
What are they like? Hobbies/interests?

For gifts or a party?

I got my newly minted teenager a hammock and tarp plus he got a new scouting hoody, some headphones (cheap, corded ones because he doesn't like charging wireless ones), some Lego and a very nice pen from various relatives.

Party wise we've not done anything but he does want to see if his friends can come over for pizza and film next weekend.

He's very low maintenance and easy to please.

If looking at parties, my DS went to VR one today which he enjoyed, and him and 6 others will be doing laser tag and pizza gor his in a few weeks. For presents he has asked for 2 lego sets, and we'll give him some cash, some vbucks to spend online in fortnite, a tshirt he wanted, I've got a funky monkey mobile phone stand and might get a few books. Also hid own playstation controller- got a shared playstation for xmas with normal controllers, but requested a purple one. He's not into clothing brands etc so not bothered about the latest trainers etc. Am sure that will change at some point!

DD soon to be 13 has asked for an escape room with friends and for us to go see Six.

Hey, I got ours a song that I thought was a bit cheesy, but in the end they loved it and it was very personal story of our relationship. Made us both cry. Try GiftSong.ai but there are a few good ones out there and it should cost less than £10
