He loves his Playstation (meh)

He doesn't need a bike.

He loves football but has lots of kit, footballs, goal in garden etc.also goes to matches with DH.

Help!

Clothes, trainers, iphone, ipad, airpods or bluetooth headphones, concert tickets, a day out doing some sort of extreme thing - don't ask me what - car racing or something if he's old enough.

Good shout from @Minorityreports on the driving experience - you can get 'junior' ones. That'd be cool.

Minorityreports · 18/10/2019 11:46

Since he's into footie, is there such things as training academies in the summer by professionals or something that he could do for a week?

BaconAndAvocado · 18/10/2019 11:46

Ooh I like the idea of the experience day.....thanks, will look into that.

I think clothes are actually a good idea.....he loves his branded sportswear belch so it won't be cheap.

Online game money?

BlueEyedFloozy · 18/10/2019 11:47

Mine wants a desk and chair for his xbox homework 🙄

Minorityreports · 18/10/2019 11:50

Yup the branded hoodies etc. add up very quickly!!!

BaconAndAvocado · 18/10/2019 11:52

That sounds very familiar Blue Grin

Minority he's just had his birthday and I managed to get a few bargains on Foot Asylum. But yes, generally the hoodies are around £30 a go. DS1, now 21, was more than happy with a hoody from Primark.......how times change!

DS turned 13 in the summer. He did the junior learning to drive session with a few friends for his birthday and they all loved it. Yes to branded sports wear (north face, adidas, Calvin Klein undies), gaming chair, membership renewal for the PS. Would you rather? card game/book. It's a really hard age isn't it, no longer into toys :(

BaconAndAvocado · 18/10/2019 12:44

Very tricky age Cath

Now,he doesn't believe in FC he also suggested that he wouldn't have a stocking........Shock I think not!

A stocking he shall have, albeit filled with Lynx, socks, pants, Lynx, chocolate, sweets and Lynx Grin

He still,has a Lego Technics model, unopened, from last Christmas which I'm having to bribe him to complete!

How I miss those cosy afternoons with Lego.......

Skate board or scooter?

Belt
Cap
Stance socks (brand)

Minorityreports · 18/10/2019 12:54

try brandalley.co.uk They are a discounted branded online store - I shop from them often and they are authentic. They're just usually last seasons end of stock. They often have CK etc.

eg they have this at the moment. Stocks change daily so new brands come on every day. It's great for a browse

@CathFizz I didn't actually know whether such a thing existed - thanks for confirming. I think a 13 year old would love shit like that - maybe pay for him and 2 friends or something.
Then a hoodie/addidas trackie bottoms, some cash, some Gucci Sport parfum, and then a PS game and some CK undies in his stocking that he doesn't want.

Minorityreports · 18/10/2019 12:58

TK Maxx is good for discounted undies too.

Minorityreports · 18/10/2019 12:58

Can you tell I'm a frequent purchaser of mens underwear lol

Minorityreports · 18/10/2019 13:00

I could easily slaughter £500 on a 13 yo lol.

jobbymcginty · 18/10/2019 13:04

My ds just turned 24 wants a PlayStation evolutions chair it's not cheap but amazon sell them. Think you can attach steering well etc to it

Minorityreports · 18/10/2019 13:04

Oh - music - maybe pay for a year's subscription to spotify for him? Buy him a guitar and some guitar lessons?

BaconAndAvocado · 18/10/2019 13:18

Buying branded pants doesn't come easy to me.....who is actually going to see them except DS ? Grin

Minorityreports · 18/10/2019 19:16

Oh it's really important! They hang the jeans just low enough that the girls can see the brand......

It's a thing.

Minorityreports · 18/10/2019 19:18

Well, he might not be old enough yet for the whole girl thing.

LeGrandBleu · 18/10/2019 19:29

Go pro or similar action camera?
My DS was really into dungeons & dragons at that age, but warning, more addictive than the PS4
Cool headphones

BaconAndAvocado · 18/10/2019 20:23

I wish he was into Dungeons and Dragons!
