Just that really, what can I get my DD's 18 year old BF? I'm thinking aftershave, but which, it's a long time since I bought anything for a teenage boy. What would he like???

If you want to give aftershave, I’d give a selection of small bottles like this www.next.co.uk/g9413057s3/883875#883875 He’s probably still experimenting with different scents and it means you don’t fork out for a scent he doesn’t like.
Other ideas:
American sweets gift box
Oddsocks United tin
Escape room vouchers (you could get an escape room in a box)
Board game - this year we’re giving Dumb Criminals
Salted caramel vodka (from Hotel Chocolat)

A small token gift like retro sweets collection plus a voucher for them to share eg Nando's .

My mam buys my boyfriend some clothing (new t-shirt or pjs or gym gear) but asks me to pick it out. And then a small stocking. Depending on budget you could do similar and throw in a voucher for a meal out for them?

Yes to clothing or undies, if he's into fashion look for muscle fit T shirts, or nice boxers, teenage boys never have enough underwear.

Thank you for all the suggestions, the mini aftershaves are a really good idea and I've just ordered some from Next.
It's his 18th birthday next week so have got him the aftershave for that and a Nando's voucher for Christmas, then they can have a night out to look forward to.

Thanks for all your suggestions Smile

Maybe a wallet or a pair of gloves? My mom gave this to my then bf

Good choices, op. Both of those would be a winner for my 18yr old ds.
