My boys are 13 and the older one just turned 15. Their main presents are a computer monitor for DS15 and a Beats Headphones for DS13. Second mains are PS4 games and computer accessories. They’re also getting a lot of books, a weighted blanket each, clothes and school things for the older one and cooking/science/drawing kits for the younger one.

OctaviaOrange · 09/12/2020 19:06

Thanks for the suggestions, much appreciated

I've settled on a bespoke Xbox controller, some Razr headphones and some speakers for his PC along with various Adidas bits and pieces

Desperately trying to get hold of a PS5 for 14 year old DS but having no luck 🙁 Think it’ll have to be an IOU until the new year. Got him quite a few other bits though.

Mini projector that links to phone or laptop to project films onto bedroom wall.

He said 'I don't want anything'

Hope he likes it.

A bike. He needs a new one.

Mine is 13 and is getting some “merch” (mostly clothes but there is a blanket, a jigsaw and a light too) from his favourite YouTuber (shopped at huge expense front he US) , some cuddly toys (yes really) of his favourite random Japanese computer game anime type characters that I can only find made by some woman in the Ukraine on Etsy 🙄, family board games, some books, a Slush Puppy maker, a little wooden steampunk type moving model thing from. ROKR, a new game for his Switch, and some Gravitrax (fancy marble run thing). He is still a bit young at heart and I’m happy not to have to spend all my money on expensive brand name clothes and gadgets 😂 (well now that he has the Switch which Santa brought him about three Christmases ago).

Desmondo2016 · 17/12/2020 22:06

16th birthday 2 days ago and he got a ps5, FIFA 21 and some Adidas shoes. For Christmas he's got a load of sports clothes, a football shirt and an Apple watch. Spoilt brat this year.
