Grateful for your help! I can think of the usual socks, toiletries sweets, chocs etc - can anyone suggest a few more unusual ideas?

What does he like to do, any sports etc., he likes?

Gettingthereslowly1 · 07/10/2018 21:41

Thank you! He likes football, and Xbox!!! Fortnite and Fifa!
Loves music also - grime/rap.
Last year I picked up some good suggestions from here:
Free kick spray
Beanie with light in it from amazon
Fish eye lens for phone
Bumbag for festivals!

Have you had a look at his favourite football team shop? They sell loads of stuff, not just kit, I usually get DS a few stocking fillers from there every year although it does help his cousin manages the internet sales for the club 😁. If you have a search on Amazon for FIFA or fortnight you could probably get a few things as well. This year I will probably get DS a World Cup beach towel, bit late but he will like it.

Apart from chocolates etc DS1(17) has:

Shaving stuff,
Two good sciencey books,
Vouchers for hot drinks from the coffee shop on his way home from school,
Multi tool key ring (with a replacement front door key for the one he lost Angry),
Slipper socks,
Miso soup sachets,
Bike saddle cushion,
Bike lights
Waterproof touchscreen gloves
Whoopee cushion (traditional and every year someone falls for it)
Fake dog poo (see above)
And some car stuff that isn’t relevant

Thanks so much. Some great ideas there that I’m going to order. I’ve just had some more which I’ll share in case they’re of use to anyone:
Clip in man bun (he’s trying to grow one!) Google clip in man bun+the Times and there’s an article with details of the website.
Charging lead for phone
Portable charger
Scratch card
Post It’s
Other than the man bun, I’m determined not to buy things that don’t get used this year.
For his birthday he also received a Linkax torch from amazon which he seems to love and only cost 6.99.
Also toying with idea of multi tool key ring but don’t think he would use it.

Going to watch in case there's more ideas. I have an 11 year old who literally wants nothing. I can't get him nothing!

Amazon have a multi tool pen that looks good, I was thinking of that for DS

Gettingthereslowly1 · 08/10/2018 16:20

Oh that’s a good one, thank you.
Aliexpress have small SOS tins for very cheap - can fill with joke or useful bits - I’m going to do one with chewing gum then one sensible one!
