To not be able to think of a fun gift for DS?

[GrumpyWombat]

Middle child, 16, getting a new phone for Christmas and some clothes and smellies but I can’t think of anything else? Nothing expensive, just not boring!

I also want to get a couple of new board games for us to play as a family, but the kids have such a big gap, almost 8, 16 & 18, can anyone recommend any?!

sorry I know I AIBU posting here for traffic as I’m feeling stressed! 😣

I bought my DH and BIL boxing reindeer pens once years ago and they found them hysterical, ended up playing with them on and off all afternoon. Might be a fun gift suitable for all your DC, silly but not too expensive. They have some here.

If he enjoys comedy, the Mischief Theatre Company are doing Christmas movie nights in. You pay £15 for a digital streaming ticket to a live theatre improv show. You can watch on your phone or smart TV. They did them during lockdown and they were so funny.

The Sock Game is brilliant for all ages…can get rowdy!

Thank you!

I've ordered a candy floss maker as a fun gift.

What about a Nerf gun? My 18 yrs old nephew loved his last year.

Funko Pop figures, lego, crystal art set

He’s a little younger than your son, but I’ve bought my 13 year old a portable table tennis set that can be added to any table. He also got a taste for playing UNO on holiday in the summer so I’ve bought a few different variations for him as well.

I’ve bought Cards Against Humanity family edition to play Christmas night — suitable for 8+ according to the box.

I love Treasure Trails. Find one for your local town and go out for the day.

DC in my family (ages 7-20) love Exploding Kittens or Moose Master if its available. Ours was imported.

Frosties or coco pops pants from Oddballs with a matching box of cereal!

Urban outfitters got two for a tenner on . I just ordered "don't be a dick" socks. (Stocking fillers both my boys) ..might find something there

Waffle maker and accompaniments. Nutella , marshmallows etc

Confidence good game for all
