17 year old boy gift...max £20 HELP!

[ChildOfGallifrey]

My local police station are running a present appeal for children in our area in care homes/foster care. We have signed up and have been allocated a 17 yo boy. My DS's are 9 and 3 so I have no clue what a teenager is I to these days! They recommend a maximum of £20 so can be one present or a few adding up to that amount.

Any parents of teenage boys around to advise me?

Is into that should say!

No real advice on a main present, but I would include a selection box.

I am so stuck.

Selection box is a good idea. Was thinking clothes like a t shirt or jumper but have no idea of size!

I think I'd go for a few smaller things in the hope that one or two of them would be appreciated. Some chocolate, a gift set, headphones perhaps, a pair of socks...

How about a funky woolly hat and some gloves/socks. Some nice smelly stuff, my son likes Bench and FCUK, so glad I put that right

Thank you Santas. I reckon a well researched shopping trip tomorrow and I may be able to get all of those.

Yy, you could do Gummy earphones (or equivalent), a Lynx Dry (gift pack (or equiv), nice socks (get size 8-12), and a selection box for £20.

My DS is 16 and would very much like that.

This is the kind of hat my son and his friends are wearing

Gloves! Yes! Thank you for the Bench/FCUK suggestion MrsPresley

You lot are brilliant

What a nice gesture

I would think a hat too, nice label one
Boxer shorts
Smellies and chocolate
T shirt

I would get something like this I think

A friend who is the manager of a care home has just told my to try and get something he can keep in his room so others can't damage it, and if you google presents for a 17 year old boy there's loads of suggestions but I like this

I also like the idea of an additional selection box as well.

cariads that is so cool! Thank you!

Agree with all the above, some great ideas. How about packing them in a hold all /sports bag, TKMaxx might have something suitable.

Something for his room, perhaps a small photo frame?

I've managed to find a lamp that looks like the moon and I'm going to go pick up a toiletry set, touch screen gloves, earphones, marvel mug and selection box tomorrow. Does anyone know where I can get one of those chocolate pizzas? Seen online but can't deliver before Friday when gifts need to be handed in.

Chocolate pizza is available on that website I linked to.

Nothing really to add, but what a lovely idea. This has prompted me to find out if there are any similar schemes in my area. Thank you.

and there is this one. Perhaps you could phone them and explain the circumstances

Headphones - very good selection in TKMax.
Also designer boxers (boys like the band to have a designer name on them).

Food! Simple hamper packed with good food and treats. Can also add a cheap pair of gloves, thick socks, bars of good chocolate...peanut butter drink from Asda/Sainsbury's and a jar of biscuit spread from Lidl...

What a lovely idea! I have a 15 year old so here are a few ideas....Lynx, chocolate selection box, a moon light for his bedroom, around 8 pounds from the Glow Company have a look online, Christmas socks, sweets

Thanks everyone. Spoilt for ideas now!
