£15 present for 12 year old boy

[georgedawes]

Am completely stumped! Would rather not give money or a voucher as I've bought his sister a present, but might have to as can't think of anything else at present!

All I know is he is into football, but can't find anything really that fits with it. He supports one of the smaller teams and can't really see anything for him related to the team that I can afford.

Help!

Guiness Book of Records, Top Gear or Simpsons books
DVD or Xbox/PS game if parents have a list of desired titles.

Anything else too risky imho, and Amazon vouchers/cash are the only option

A football?, ds always happy to get a nice football as he keeps losing/bursting his. Bugger to wrap though.

If you bought him Bop-It before and he liked it, what about the new Bop-It Tetris?

Cash so he can buy what he wants in the sales.

Skullcandy earphones. That's what I am buying a 15 year old.

A decent football always go down well.
Headphones or a mini speaker
If his parents allow, a swiss army knife. My ds got one around this age and was made up.

If you have to get vouchers, try and get a little token gift so you can wrap it up such as a bag of popcorn with cinema ticket.

snow scooter

cool bobble hat

the world cup football

I bought a "Wreck This Journal" (Amazon £6) for a 12 year old boy and he loved it.

Hexbug? They look pretty fun for someone of any age.

somethign from Topman. dont think you can go wrong with that.
or

Guiness book of records

can you ask him or his parents?

Twister Dance Rave?

If he is in to football you can pay about £15 for him to visit his favourite team ground, so for Man Utd they get to look at Old Trafford for the day

I bought my 11 yo nephew a wallet from Superdry for £15. It's a sports fabric one and pretty smart I think...

you can get some nice stuff from Hawkins Bazaar, i think its called,

Is his sister younger? If he's 13 and sister 10 or younger then I don't think giving her a present but him the cash is weird at all

those swimming gloves that have webs for go-faster

talking about gloves, you can buy ipod gloves,

I would second the Steam Voucher or maybe earphones, I have lost count of the number my 3 have got through over the years. Hth.

Does he have a phone? I got my 13 DN a superdry iPhone case.

I'd buy chocolate for a fiver (always goes down well) and an iTunes voucher, or a tenner presented in a gift card. This is what I've done for my nephew & it looks substantial.

my 14 year old is getting a Chill factor cup.... bit random but he might like it?! www.toysrus.co.uk/Toys-R-Us/Toys/Role-Play/Chill-Factor-Squeeze-Cup-Slushy-Maker(0103269)
Hollister T-shirt (some in the online sale)
Nike or Adidas tshirt
New shin pads if he plays in a team- (he would probably be a medium boy size)
Nike Just do it mini backpack £15 from JD sports
Any books by Louis Sacher if he likes reading. my son wasn't particularly into reading but did like this author.

Onsie or dressing gown, bit boring but always useful.
