16 yo ds presents

[lizabes]

I know it’s probably been done to death but I’m struggling with what to get for my eldest.

His stocking is more or less sorted and I’ve already got him a new laptop, a couple of tops and new trainers so he needs another main present and another few biggish things.

Not really for him then.

Yes for him. For him and his brother and sisters. To share. On top of all their own individual presents. So that we all have something more interesting than Monopoly to play after dinner. He has a PS4 in his bedroom that no one can touch. He has an ipad that no one else uses. He has a phone already. He will be over the moon to have a new gadget to play with.

So yes it is for him.

Just like when my nan buys us biscuits to share, they are for him.

Or DH's mum gets us a board game to share, it is for him.

Or we go to Winter Wonderland as a group, it is for him.

What a weird thing to say.

I haven't found one thing on this thread I can get ds as a stocking filler , am really running out of ideas

all he wants is money but I still want to get him stocking fillers aarrgghh

I got my 16 yr old some electric hedge cutters. He loved them and used to cut the whole streets hedges for cash! Power tools are great if the kids are trustworthy.

As for stocking fillers - scratch cards, batteries, sweets, bacon flavour toothpaste, mouthwash, tooth whitening pen, hair styling stuff, bootlaces have gone down well with mine.

Why is a 16 yo having a stocking?

Our 23 yr old still has a stocking if he's home on Xmas eve! (And I put it under the tree if he isn't.)

It's not a weird thing to say at all, Happy. I'd class something to be shared between five siblings as a family present, not an individual one.

I thought of scratch cards but I'd be worried they'd turn into mad gamblers
