My ds age nearly 17 wanted just clothes for first time for christmas- went on line today and every one of the items he wanted are sold out .

Rang company- not re stocking prior to christmas.We had to wait till now until we got paid and i feel ive let him down as all sold out.
He does not want to waste money on bits of things and hopes to get clothes in new year now.... but i really want to get just a few bits for him to open on christmas day.Ive got sweets in tubes that s all as he really wanted clothes and i thought that we would be sorted.

He likes X box,cricket,hanging out with pals ,films ,travel ,geography- going abroad with pals next year for weekend for b day ,food - but most of all at the mo wants clothes.Maybe dash to nearest city to get cool undies ?? otherwise in flap - any ideas would be most most welcome !!!thanks

can you pre order for delivery as soon as they are back in stock then make him a voucher with pic of item on in an envelope to open? I have bought my 17 year old all sorts of crap stocking fillers such as a PNB kitkat as he loves them, some new PNB drink that sainsbo's have just started selling (sounds disgusting) scarf, gloves, toiletries a stand for his phone, a disco light bulb, more chocs a box of fancy cereal that I won't normally buy, DVDs and a tub of lip salve.

Have you tried looking for 'bought new with tags' on ebay?
