He loves his Xbox but buys his own games to download.
He doesn’t go out much apart from work and college.
Pants,socks and smellies are so predictable.

Money. If you want lots of gift opening opportunities then wrap cash up in a lot of silly ways (a £20 note in a shoebox, a roll of £1 coins in a Christmas cracker, some notes stuffed into some novelty socks etc).

What about tickets to a gig or comedy show?

Slartybartfast · 22/11/2017 08:31

vouchers for Top Man
gig tickets
aftershave

At that age I'd just give them money or a gift voucher

Cakefortea1 · 22/11/2017 08:36

Mine likes ASOS so vouchers for there, headphones maybe, addidas tshirt, aftershave, shave kit or my son’s favourite cold hard cash!!

A really good quality new backpack?
Definitely tickets to a gig or comedy show if there's a comedian or band you know he really likes.
An experience? Zorbing or a gaming VR Day?

My DC want money at that age, but I do a stocking of food, paperback book, smellies, CD/DVD and then a couple of presents under the tree - a shirt and a hardback book or similar.

He has so much cash from working over the past year.
He doesn’t spend it ever!
What does an Alexa do?
Are they expensive or any good?

DN is getting money towards driving lessons.

ihatethecold · 22/11/2017 09:29

He passed his test a month ago.
He now drives my old car.
It’s a seriously non cool number. 😂

😂 ok then. Experience day maybe? DNs other request is money toward model trains (he's a train geek). Don't spose that sparks any ideas?
