Grin

mine wants gta and that's a big hell no from me
as are all the other totally inappropriate games he wants.
everything I am happy for him to have, he doesn't want.
I'm about two strops about the unfairness of life in general and me in particular away from lump of coal territory.

What do yours like or want?

They will also get a stocking each with food, drink, key rings, underwear, lego mixles amd mini figures ect in. FIL is getting them lego Arkham asylum between them and will probably also buy them some clothes each. The younger two will be getting iPads of their mum (and some other things that I'm not sure of)

I have 16 and 18 year old boys. Both quite geeky. This is some of what I have bought.
Science calender
Walking dead poster
Taster off road driving (for the 16 year old)
Anker power pack, these are fantastic little gadgets. They hold a huge amount of power, great for long journeys. DS2 took his on a 24 hour coach trip and it kept his phone and all his friends charged easily.
Onsies
Good shavers
Their body weight in chocolate
Earphones
T shirts.

About £130 spent on each.

Ds2 (15) wants stuff for his trials bike - which has been ordered.

He also has some Jack Wills clothing, slippers, onesie, aftershave and other smelly stuff.

Did ask him if he wanted a go pro for his bike and he said no.

What he did ask for instead of bike stuff (which comes in at sbout £250) is a new bike with a lighter frame which was around £800, we said no.

Ds1 (17) wants a new pair of gaming headphones. That's it. We are really stuck for ideas. He has his driving test on the 17th Dec and I would really like to buy him a car, but he is going away to Uni next Sept so there is no point, he will go on my insurance instead.

Both DSSs (17 and 19) want contributions towards new iPhones. DSS1 has two iPhones to replace so I don't think he'll be getting anything else! DSS2 will get t-shirts (he likes very original ones, no brands).

Deodorant/body spray/shower gel- FCUK
Calender
Chocolate
