The Christmas thread is my guilty pleasure Blush my dp won’t even talk about Christmas until 1st December. You are my people!
Anyway ...... I have ds17 (18 in feb) and ds12 (13 in dec) and need some ideas other than the usual hoodie/Xbox game/chocolate.
Last couple of years they’ve had new bikes, new phones...... I’m out of fresh new ideas.
Hit me with what you’ve bought your teen boys that have been a big success.

Tbh we usually stick to things like brand name tracksuit, trainers etc, aftershave goes down quite well. Maybe tickets to a football/rugby match if they're into that kind of thing?

*Some interesting ideas
Eldest has driving lessons currently imsorryiasked but maybe a junior driving lesson for my youngest. No room for a gaming chair unfortunately lol
bionic a glass blowing course? Bonkers but my youngest would probably love it!!
charlotte brand name clothes are a given - you’ve reminded me I already have a couple of t shirts. Eldest got loads of aftershave last year so has asked for none this year!
ricekrispie22 you’ve reminded me about Lego! My eldest loves it and always gets an architecture kit for Christmas. And youngest would love some headphones.

Really glad I posted for ideas. I feel a bit inspired now!

Ski or snowboard lessons if you have a dry or indoor slope near you.

God its hard isn't it. I've a 16 and nearly 14 year old and I am struggling. They got a combined presentation of a gaming chair and fridge for the games room last year. May get them a velvetiser from Hotel Chocolate for the joint gift.

16 year old - airpods, portable speaker for when he goes out with friends

13 year old - he wants You Tube merc for his birthday on Halloween and airpods like his brother! He loves history so pre-ordered a book called 52 times Britain was a Bellend
