Christmas present ideas for 13/14 yo boys?

No idea this year.

Ds had a birthday a couple of months ago and had a gaming laptop, so he doesn’t need any technology.

Will get him books, clothes, possibly a bird experience but apart from that I’m pretty stuck this year.

I know this is AIBU but it’s the area I visit most and I know it’s always busy here.

What are you getting your darling teens?

@curious2468 we’ve just bought DS1 the Ender 3 for Christmas! I was split between that one and the XYZ Davinci mini - but having seen the dragon I’m so pleased we went for the Ender 3!

Where did you get the design from? DS has made smaller things at school (bag tags etc) but he would love that dragon.

It’s by fat dragon games. They do loads of terrain etc too.

I have TWO 13 and a half yr old boys to buy for!

Star Wars Lego
Gaming monitor
Steam gift cards
Clothing
Badminton racket

The big hit to share last year was VR for the Playstation. My husband often gets gaming stuff used from Computer Exchange. This was nearly mint and much cheaper than new.
We have an Argos Clearance store where we also get tech.

Love the 3D printer as one really loves DT and might like that.

@AuntyElle love the pen! Definitely one for Ds when he’s a bit older and can learn to look after his stationery!

@ColdTattyWaitingForSummer what a brilliant idea for a stocking filler and something totally random! I’ve never heard of them before!

For the gamers, I got my son the guinness world records gamer's edition. I have also gone for some brain teaser style games/activity books/cards etc A past favourite in our house was rush hour. Some stress balls for his stocking!
