I will have a teenager!

No idea what to get him and he doesn’t know what he wants himself.

Any suggestions??
Thanks all!

What does he like doing and does he live in a town or the countryside? Is he into clothes yet or sport?

What’s he into? Encourage getting off line so tickets for sport/theatre/outdoor experiences doing real stuff. And some cash.

Since he's at that in-between age, you might want to consider some cool tech like wireless earbuds or a portable charger for his phone. If he’s more of a "hands-on" person, there are some great gift ideas for students like complex 3D puzzles or STEM kits that are actually fun. Honestly, if he's still stumped, just taking him out for an "experience" day like go-karting or a trip to the cinema with a friend usually hits the spot way better than a random toy.
