One of our old phones. Bits and bobs like slipper socks, pjs and pens, paper etc. Some books.

He really REALLY REALLY REALLY wants some sort of £££££ Xbox thingy which we can't afford so we're giving him some case and have asked for money from the family so he can save up for one!

lockie1983 · 10/12/2016 14:45

Cash, obviously

Headphones and some disco thingy for the computer are the expensive things. He's also getting a pillow to listen to his music through and table a subscription to a magazine and a table tennis set.

My boys getting a laptop, a couple 9ffice hoodys, trainers, a light up quote thing that you can write on, headphones and then smellies and bits and bobs like selfie accessories. Thinking of maybe a doughnut maker as well but it might just end up gathering dust in the cupboard.

Mine had got some Lego, pjs, DVD and some chocs.
Really struggling with him this year!

Mine has asked for anki, which is like updated scalextrix, but you do need a phone.
We have also got him Pokemon Moon, slippers, new David Walliams book, WWE annual, and some bits to add to his collections-he collects a few things.
Does your guy like Harry Potter stuff? Disco lights? Lava lamp?
