So stuck for ideas - not into toys, books, dvds anymore and hates clothes as presents. Have got an xbox game and smellies and sweets but that's it!!! Just wondering what yours is having?

Bluetooth speaker?

Mine loves his salt rock to light remove the negative ions in his bedroom. And means he doesn't need to get up and turn his main light on.
Into posters and nice frames
A cardboard money tree
Stuff magazine subscription.

Stocking fillers - lock pick kit, Allen keys,

How it works and Focus magazines are popular here with my 15 year old.

Nice trainers/clothes? Good pair of head phones ?

PickAChew · 29/11/2018 18:46

14 year old doesn't like actual presents (asd) so just wants cash. I'll probably replenish his usual stationery supplies, but not wrap them.

Catsandbootsandbootsandcats · 29/11/2018 18:51

Echo dot to play music on.
Stranger Things pop vinyl
T-shirts of favourite tv programmes/books
New Miss Peregrine book.
Book about Percy Jackson mythology.

Oh, and a PJ mask shower gel set as he picked it up in Sainsbury's and said he wanted it. So I bought it as a joke pressie. Grin

AckYourHole · 29/11/2018 18:58

An Echo dot
New game for PlayStation & PlayStation play card
New trainers & clothes
Calvin Klien boxers
His only request this year was for one of those long tubes of Jaffa Cakes so he's going to be delighted

A monitor (curved) for his laptop, vouchers to buy books for his kindle, vue cinema vouchers, choccies, reusable water bottle and some t shirts.

My DS12 is getting a gaming chair, a sunrise alarm clock (he hates getting up and doesn't have an alarm clock), lots of books and a reusable water bottle.

Boyskeepswinging · 29/11/2018 19:33

Mine is getting a new phone and an X Box game

greenlanes · 29/11/2018 19:34

a raspberry pi screen. He had lots of the rest of it from family for birthday

RickOShay · 29/11/2018 19:44

What’s a cardboard money tree?
Sounds intriguing Grin

justasyouare · 29/11/2018 20:13

Echo dot
Xbox game pass thing (half price on amazon)
Guinness book or records
Hoodie
T-shirt
Headphones
Couple of dvds

It’s so hard, not helped by 14th birthday last month! I’ve just guessed at gifts this year to be honest!

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 29/11/2018 20:30

Echo dot
Coat

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 29/11/2018 20:31

@justasyouare my ds1 is 14 on Christmas Eve Confused

SheWoreBlueVelvet · 29/11/2018 20:49

RickoShay not that exciting...He only wanted money.So I made a large 3D Christmas tree ( slotted cardboard).and layered it in £5 notes . Put in a cardboard box so he had something to unwrap.Smile

justasyouare · 29/11/2018 21:02

@beautician Oh gawd, good luck with that! It’s so hard isn’t it!

SleepySofa · 29/11/2018 21:13

Our 14 year old nephew is having a Tommy Hilfiger t shirt from us.

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 29/11/2018 22:03

@justasyouare it certainly is. Luckily he needs/would like a bike. He's so big though I've no idea what size to get Grin

millimat · 29/11/2018 22:24

DS will be 12 just before Christmas. We're following this trend as he is getting an echo dot. Not a lot else to go off though. He's not yet bothered about clothes so won't be impressed with a pile of t shirts! Xbox game that I think he's too young for nerf gun accessories. How exciting Hmm

averythinline · 29/11/2018 22:45

still struggling here as well - current ideas

snooker table top table- not sure this will fit in room !
dart board surround - hoping to make game room not just play station room :)
badminton racket-probably from grandparents as they domt like buying tech...
books- some fiction but also robot wars
decent power bank/charging cable
gaming bean bag chair again space dependent
possible playstation game
an escape room game or ticket to ride new york or another interesting game

thinking of adding light up alarm clock as mornings a struggle..looking for inspiration still as not getting any wow factor so far!

Bigbagofnerves · 30/11/2018 12:37

Mine has got an WW2 Airfix model kit, a FRIENDS t shirt (yet to be ordered) and I want to get him a beanbag gaming chair.

necromumda · 30/11/2018 13:12

Mine (14) has asked for PS games, a new bass guitar, piano, lots of warhammer and kill team stuff, motorbike, a camp bed (random). a dog and cool parents.

He will probably be getting games, a 88 key keyboard and some warhammer (which is hellish expensive).
I also have a DNA ancestry kit and will get stocking stuff. Maybe an external drive thingy fior his playstation
