14 year old boy - birthday and Christmas - HELP!

[DuckyMcDuck]

DS2's will be 14 in December so double nightmare re trying to find presents for him.

He has inherited his older brothers books, games etc and so he's always difficult to buy for.

Any ideas please?

Watching with interest....I could have written this exact post!

Doea he have an iphone? If so, airpods or an older model apple watch.
New fancy trainers or gifts related to a hobby or interest.
Your older sons may have some goid ideas?

Yes, ideas please. A new phone is a good idea!

Have you asked him? My 15yo could give me a list of 20 things he wants without stopping for breath!

PlayStation, gaming chair, lava lamp, new clothes, favourite sweets/ choc

New games for PlayStation

I have asked him and he can't think of anything!
He got a new phone in the summer and doesn't want AirPods as 3 of his friends have recently been mugged for theirs

He insisted on buying the new FIFA game for the Xbox last month with his own money and doesn't really want to play any other games.

It's harder this year because usually he spots things in the shops but obviously we haven't been. His birthday is only a couple of days after this lockdown will (theoretically) finish so unlikely he'll get a chance to do that.

Do appreciate the ideas and it looks like I'm not alone in this problem (waves to @Lotsachocolateplease) so keep them coming please

My ds has got a newish phone, I think he’d love AirPods but would lose them!
I’ve got him a few clothing bits but am stuck for Christmas ideas - I’m actually sorted for his birthday in the 13th - he’s having a hammock!!! And some new van trainers he’s asked for.
Lava lamp is a good idea @justthecat and actually something that’s in my amazon basket for him!
@DuckyMcDuck is hard when they get their older brothers hand me downs isn’t it?!

It certainly is.

The best present we ever bought was a multi-games table with snooker or pool table/table football/table tennis layers. Our living room isn't big enough for it to be up the whole time so it folds away. Boys love it and it's lasted for years.

Have just bought an iphone stand from Amazon which DS 12 was after, liked it so much bought one for myself (it was sturdy and collapses so can imagine taking it to work etc but can't use until DS gets his one)

Xbox voucher
Clothes gift card
Drone
Aftershave smellies set
Own hairdryer
Itunes voucher
Christmas onesie
Book on football

Can i join this thread. Desperately need some inspiration.
DS1 is also going to be 14 in December!

He doesn’t want any new video games, phone isn’t due an upgrade for another year, doesn’t want AirPods, isn’t into labels so clothes wouldn’t be viewed as a present as he’s happy in Asda joggers and really doesn’t see labels as anything. Is not into sports at all, doesn’t even really support a football team or play football.

Ds is now 15. However last year for birthday & Xmas:
Hover board
Archery kit (if you have the space)
Rugby boots
Joggers
Wireless headphones (no iPhone so android version of airpods - which work on Dh's iPhone & were £40)

@CoffeeBeansGalore where did you get the archery kit from. My son would love one but I wouldn't know where to begin
