Teenage boy presents

Please give me some inspiration! Our eldest DS has just turned 18, he doesn't know what he wants for Christmas and we are wary of falling into the trap of buying for the sake of it!
His two younger siblings are getting an Xbox and a switch so I want to get him something comparable but that won't be a waste?! Any ideas?!
I've bought him a HP sprocket (thanks to the bargain thread if was £68!) So it just needs to be something to go along with this?!
He is into photography and he is teaching himself to play the guitar, which we bought for his bday.
What are you buying your similar age boys?!

Is he learning the electric guitar? If so what about some sort of effects pedal to go with it?

Thanks everyone for your replies. He for a good camera last year as he is doing a level photography. Will have a look at the guitar ideas.

Maybe this is a good year to change to giving cash. 'When you turn 18 you get (say) £50 and some things to unwrap'. Because with 3 kids you are going to have this with all of them in turn....

I bought my dd a personalised leather guitar strap from Not on the High Street.

Was also going to suggest guitar pedals as that’s what I’m getting my DS (although I have no clue as to which ones).

Tickets to gigs or a festival?

If we are struggling for our teens, we always bung in a Nando's or costa gift card.

Mine likes clothes. Something branded that they wouldn't usually get.
