what are you buying your 12/13/14 year old boys - sorry if this has already been asked!

[Chocrock]

The only thing DS says he wants is xbox games! He gets plenty of money from other family members so I prefer that he use that to buy xbox games as he wants special editions etc that constantly change so I am sure to get it wrong!

I will get him PJ's, books, dvd but am looking for some inspiring ideas I can steal from others whose boys have a more varied Christmas wish list than mine!

A mini fridge for his room to put drinks in!! His idea......

Thanks 4lovely its been added to my list......

Young Drivers Lesson, skull candy headphones, a onesie, a Lynx gift set, chocs etc

I've seen lots of little things that my 12 year old would like at my local gadget shops. (In my case Red5 and Menkind but Online ones like IWOOT and Firebox should have cool bits)

thank you! I am going to check out the websites, drivers lesson and of course I forgot about Lynx....

ds will be 12 in April.

some of the things I've got off the top of my head

superdry hoody
Nike hoody
one Xbox game
solar robot
raspberry pi
books
remote control helicopter
one of the new minecraft Lego sets
minecraft mug

his main present will be a moto g smartphone

Ds1 will be 14 in April.
On his list of requests are-

Lots of Xbox games, like you I'm ignoring these.
Skullcandy gaming headset.
Go pro camera, for recording how great he is at skiing and skateboarding
Capture card, so he can record how fabulous he is at gaming
Penny board
Warm Socks
Volcom beanie ( I have no clue!!)

There is more, but I think I switched off!!

Thanks so much for all the ideas!
I am going to look at Capture Cards, my DS likes Volcom and Superdry too so will have a look for something there......

I'm really struggling for my ds13
All he wants is xbox games. Arghhhh

I have no idea what else to get him.

I did by some jack jones shoes and tops but he has grown so much recently I ended up giving them to him. Ditto pyjamas.

Is it normal for boys of this age to be so into xbox? Oh dear I fear it isn't

Ds 14 has just asked for clothes&/or money nothing more :(

I will be getting him gift vouchers for the various shops he likes instead-Top man, River island, Foot asylum...
A new iphone case,
An autobiography of his fave footballer,
Concert tickets (professor Green)
Bear Grylls book,
An iphone camera gadget that has different lenses/effects(he is a budding photographer)
And last but not least a Chocolate pizza

DS 14 has asked for a PS4 together with FIFA 14 and some other game.

I've left that to DH to sort out and have started to buy him some other bits;

Ski jacket and gloves.
Shin pads.
Skins.
A biscuit tin that oinks whenever you take the lid off.

Very.co.uk have a chocolate xbox controller!

My DS is just turned 14, he wanted stuff for his bicycles - parts, new shoes etc and a GoPro camera (they are £££)
Everyone else got him money, and it will be the same for chrismas - no-one even buys my DD (10 ) presents anymore - its always money.

For Christmas he would like a laptop - and he really needs one for the GoPro and for homeworks etc - at the moment he has to borrow mine.

He is into cycling, playstation his phone and lego

What clothing brands are boys this age into? I was thinking of getting a 14 year old a duffs hoody from mandm direct but have no idea if this would be incredibly cringed or not?

Ds (almost 13 ) is having a ps4 and one game. He can save for more as he wants them.

Hollister hoodie and aftershave :(
Onsie
New football boots
Clothes (mostly h&m stuff)
Pjs
Books (hunger games)
Might get him some dvds.

worm my ds likes h&m, topman and his fave is Hollister. Never hearf of duffs so cant comment on that sorry.

DS likes Superdry.

rightio thanks guys now to try and find a suitable Hoody for £20 or less!

Mine wants a mini-fridge, too.
I can't bear that, he'd stock it up with pasties & never emerge if he did have one!

Worm - DS aged 13 likes hollister, jack wills, SuperDry (trousers/jeans can be from anywhere though). DS aged 15 not interested in clothes-would be a total waste of a present as far as he's concerned. DS aged 17 loves Top Man, River Island.

Thanks for the thread OP, I'm getting some ideas for my three DSes from it.

Round here I've noticed quite a few lads including mine like jack jones.

Mandmdirect have some good offers

DS2 is nearly 14. His list of what he'd like is huge. What he's getting is a different matter .

Hudl
X-box game
2/3 dvds
Hobbit Lego set (he collects them and builds them up then displays them)
erma nd possibly one or 2 other things

DS1 is 13. He wants videogames for various consoles, books and a Lego set. He tries to display them but they keep getting broken by an over-curious DS2.

I am thinking of getting a fridge, 4lovelychildren where are you getting your mini fridge from?
