13 year old boys hit presents!

[Dogmatix34]

It’s my DS’s 13th birthday very soon and I’m a bit stumped for what to get him. He likes football, guitar and gaming. What were the hit presents with your 13 year old boys at Christmas? I’ll share mine, this water speaker which I bought as a last minute filler but he really liked. Looking for similar wow factor gifts!

Nike VapourMax Trainers

Nanoleaf Shapes - a set of interlinking hexagonal smart light panels for his bedroom wall. They were a bit of a pain too get paired to his phone but now that we've got them working he absolutely loves them.

A gimbal for his phone so he can make smoother videos.

Newton’s cradle

Gaming wheel

Sketching pencils

An electric guitar went down very well with my DS this Christmas! Other guitar related hits in recent years has been a funky strap, a plectrum punch and sheets, plectrum holder stuffed with plectrums. If you DS has an electric guitar, maybe a pedal to go with it? Or any guitar music he’d like?

Other hits have been...
Under Armour tracksuit
Nike trainers or football boots
Boot bag from his team
Boot buddy
Gaming headset
One-handed gaming keyboard
Thumb grips/controller covers
LED lights
Echo dot
Hoodie
Oodie

Also loved his plasma ball

Wireless earbuds
New football boots (over the usual price limit I'd pay)
His younger brother had Gravitrax and they are both playing it together!

Apart from the new xbox games he requested the biggest hit has been a rubix cube. It's driving him crazy and he's watched lots of YouTube videos on how to solve it. Hasn't happened yet but he's not giving up

@RaisedbySloths get him on speedcube.au it's got lots of pictures to show how to solve each of the different steps and is a lot less confusing than youtube I found. Still took me a couple of days to use them to solve it and commit it to memory though.

@DrMadelineXMASwell thanks for that. Will take a look.

A fleece duvet and pillows and an oodie ( from the range so only £14.99) surprisingly!!
He had a gaming monitor as big main present but it was the little ones I was surprised he was pleased with!

Also, some socks that say 'do not disturb' on the bottom of one foot and 'I'm busy gaming' on the other.

Gaming chair and wheel big hits. X box live or whatever it is for a year.

Cheap, not Apple Watch. May become an Apple Watch if he looks after it for his birthday. Ditto cheap airpods.

I'd love Nanoleaf please! I may be 49 but can I step in as honorary DC to receive that gift?? Promise I'll wash up and keep my room tidy!!

An oodie, a bit expensive but I may have to surgically remove DS's next week

DS's favourite was his oodie & slush puppie machine

He'll be 13 next week & I have no ideas for birthday other than a Nike hoodie & a gift card for his PlayStation

Thanks so much for your suggestions- off to have a google!

Surprise hit was the lock picking set
