under the tree present ideas for teenage boys.

[VoldemortsNipple]

I think most people would agree that teenage boys are notoriously hard to buy for. So I thought I'd start a thread for mid range presents. Not Hawkins bazaar type stocking fillers. Decent presents which will be well received and useful.

Last year ds1 received;
Skullcandy headphones
A swiss army knife (with his name engraved on the blade)
Aftershave
A hoody
Smelly set from boots
Feckin Skyrim xbox game which to be fair, he is still playing.

These were all well received, especially the swiss army knife, which was a complete surprise to Ds.

This year I'm at a loss what to buy. All he wants more xbox games. His aunt and uncles will buy him one each and I think that's enough.

Please come and share your ideas :)

Marking place again. Will write a list of what I've found so far later.

This is fab - now have a long list of ideas.

I'm getting Grandma to buy DS the Firemaking Kit from Flibberty.com That way DH can't get mad, he can only mutter how irresponsible she is! DS will love it.

They have some great Den Kits on that website too, but sadly my 2 are too old for dens now - wish I'd found it a few years ago. They also do a Festival Kit, but we are not quite at that stage either yet (well, not on their own anyway).

Ok here's a bit of a list that Ive got already.
For the cadet hamper;
Water bottle
Socks
Hand warmers
Kendal mint cake
Camo cream
Twists
A mini survival tin (reduced from 16.00 down to 7.00 in Blacks :) )
I'm staying away from the webbing for now because Ds reckons they are getting new uniform in desert colour.

Skyrim and an add on for the PC

I've found a nice retro style Casio watch on Amazon for under 20.00 and a posh camping cooker called a Jetboil.

I could do with a nice lockable box to put his things in now.
