They share a lot of similar interests, except one loves soccer the other detests it. Happily it means they get on brilliantly

16" Zildjian crash cymbal! And some Lego etc...

@SuePreem yes I definitely think for beginning to learn it’s best to start with an acoustic guitar. You are best going into a shop with your son, as he will need to make sure it fits him well (they come in different sizes) Also they can feel quite different when holding them into position he’ll know by the feel which one is best suited to him. Plus the people in the store double check and make sure the strings are in tune and give useful tips.

If you can’t make it into a store before Christmas, you could try get a voucher for the store, or create an oversize novelty guitar voucher, just so it’s there on the day (I’ve done this a few times) then after Christmas take him out to get the guitar.

Ok so I'm loving the way it started as what we were buying our own 14 yo boy, but the thread changed!! I feel like we're being criticised for buying 'normal' things!
DS got his oculus quest for his birthday- it's fab!

I bought one of my teens a sushi making kit, as he loves cooking and raves about sushi

Bit niche maybe

Like the idea of Wagamama cookbook too!

After catching up on this thread (with some great ideas so thank you OP!) I have had one of those lovely random conversations that sometimes happen, with my 14 yo DS about top hats. Thank you MN for the laugh on a Sunday morning

A pit bike but it's from his Granada as well and he put money towards it

Ds 13 who has asd didn't want anything, so I got him:
2 space books
Rocket posters
Wall Calendar
Lava lamp
Weighted blanket
"Voucher" for a day out with me on a train journey

Rugby kit, pre ordered PS5 from last week Currys didn't advertise or put online, wireless ear pods, but just told me on Friday he wants a gaming PC 🙇‍♀️
