Please tell me the main gift you've bought for your 14 year old boy?

[OctaviaOrange]

I've got the bits and pieces and I'm lacking a decent sized gift. Any inspiration? Thanks

Big Lego set

Rebuild of a gaming pc...
And electric guitar and amp for 15th birthday on 27th Dec

A smart watch - but the only other things he is getting are a selection box and his stocking.

I haven't this year, there is nothing he wants.
He did have a computer for his Christmas & Jan birthday 2 years ago, and a new phone last year, so I'm not feeling too bag about not getting him a main present.

Having said that I haven't got a lot of bits either.....

Curved monitor for gaming

A gaming pc that we have saved for and is hopefully an investment and will last him years

Components for gaming PC, big Lego and for the first time ever he has asked for clothes but everything I wave in front of him he practically gags.

Really struggling with the stocking bits which are super easy for his younger brother and two sisters

Gaming chair
Earbuds

Dart Board

Well, mine's 10 but he thinks he's 14.

A rebuilt gaming pc with curved monitor and a flash new fish tank for his goldfish (who will be getting a couple of new tankmates).

Gaming Pc parts for one, replacement phone for the other.

Some decent wireless headphones. He just came up with that idea. We've been asking for weeks what he wants and he didn't want anything. Have quickly ordered some! I'd get him a gaming chair but we haven't the space right now. Trying to move house though so may get him one for his birthday if we have moved by then

Can I ask those that got or getting a Gaming PC, what and where did you buy it?

A pair of Nike Vapormax. They are blooming pricey that's all he's getting!

A smart watch, we managed to get into town last weekend to chose it. That and a new Xbox controller and then just little stocking bits.

Ps5

Oculus quest 2 Vr headset thingy.

Where did you get the PS5?!

If I'm honest, I haven't bought him anything yet (sounds terrible I know) but every time I ask him what would he like, he says that he doesn't want anything.

Sorry to hijack your thread, but how would you all deal with this situation?

Should I just take him shopping after Christmas?

Thanks

I got mine from a local guy who builds them. He advertises on gumtree. However, I have a very techy brother who was able to vet the add and tell me for some adjustments to ask for. I wouldn't have been able to source one that way on my own.

He'll be 14 in Jan- we've got him parts for a gaming PC he's building (he sent me a list and I just pay ) and he's getting a curved gaming monitor for his birthday.

We've also just got a large inheritance through so are buying another big gift as a last present from his Nanna and Granddad- that's going to be a new telescope as he's really into astronomy.

Ridiculously expensive Nike trainers

New Xbox & games, some books some pens and some pyjamas

@HavingTroubleSleeping I'd buy the following ...

Big selection box
Pringles
Fizzy drinks in a mini drinks fridge
A gaming card?
Fiddle toys or a fidget spinner
Books/ gaming stuff/ a new lamp / Oodie type thing
Cash

And then take him shopping afterwards, depending on your budget
