Ideas for 15yo DS please!

[BaconAndAvocado]

Just read a similar thread for teenage girls, it had some excellent ideas on it.

Now I need some for my 15yo DS!!

His interests are PS4, computers ( he’s built his own), rappers, top end trainers ( he buys replicas).

He also quite likes cooking, Breaking Bad and ...... I can’t think of anything else at the moment!

PS4 games, headphones with mic, gaming chair, cologne, fitness tracker / watch, speaker, slides (shoes)

I always struggle buying for teen boys & men.

He tends to play more games on the computer. I don’t really understand.

He’s got most of the things you’ve mentioned!

Yep, there’s usually ALOT of Lynx and chocolate involved!

How about LED lights for his room?

Soda stream
Lounge pug giant beanbag
Bluetooth shower speaker
Power bank
Lego architecture
Venus fly trap
Mini fridge
Driving experience
Quadcopter
Blokus game
LED beanie hat
Heat change mug
T shirt from Illuminated Apparel
Aftershave sample set
Simon Air game

I bought mine a 12 month play magazine subscription, maybe a pc magazine subscription if he is into that more? Its such a difficult age!

Beanie with earphones built in.

You might have seen it already, but there's a 'gifts for teenage boys' thread in the Christmas topic which might help with some ideas.

What about a popcorn or hot chocolate maker? There's a Joe & Seph popcorn maker and Hotel Chocolat have the Velvetiser (though plenty of cheaper options which will do the same job just as well).

Cinema vouchers
Jewellery- something like a black leather wristband with a silver clasp
Comics
Money presented in a fun way, like inside lots of mini boxes or something?

I like the Lego architecture idea, he'd already expressed an interest in Lego Technic.

DS is slightly older but we’ll received gifts at 15 were:
One egg frying pan
Apple Watch
Sharpies and good quality notebooks
Polo red aftershave
Adidas city series trainers
Lush shower jelly
American sweets
Nike sports clothes/socks

Oh and he has had Lego every birthday and Christmas from the age of four. Recent favourites have been Japanese skyline and the technic F1 car but he also likes F1.

Ikea pegboard n accessories
Phone case
Earphones
Headset
Cook book
Thermal mug
Hot water bottle
Boxers
Hoodie
American sweets
Large chocolate coin
Hand cream ( with using anti bac gel , Ds uses hand cream now)
Electric blanket
Electric toothbrush
Initialled bath towel
Over night bag
Running gear
Gloves
Keyboard key remover (to clean keyboard thoroughly)
Screen/pc wipes
Cactus
Mini safe
Chilly bottle
Hot chocolate/marshmallows/sauce

People are going to start thinking I work for them because I feel like I always mention them but Pocket Operator synthesizers! They do a huge amount for the size and price, huge hit with older DS1 the last couple of years.

Some cool cookbooks with recipes from movies/series?
Lava lamps related to superheroes if he's into Marvel/DC universe, something like this- www.amazon.co.uk/Marvel-Comics-Spider-Man-Motion-Lava/dp/B07HTBLBTH?tag=mumsnetforu03-21
Could also be tech stuff like a photo editing program, here is a list of good ones- photography.tutsplus.com/articles/best-photo-editing-software-pc-free-paid--cms-36447 or a portable charger.
Good headphones.
Beanie with earphones built in actually sounds pretty cool, too!
A box filled with snacks he likes the most.

Virtual Reality headset? Can get them for the PS4 or stand alone ones, or ones that plug into the computer. They are a lot of fun!

Bear DS plays electric guitar. Would one of these be suitable for a guitarist?

To add to the thread
Fire Stick
Wireless phone charger pad
Yard of Oreos (these are generally demolished long before New Year)

@TheWoollybacksWife They can't be linked up with a guitar as far as I know, none of the ones DS has anyway, they're just little standalone synths, but DS had also only played guitar beforehand and he still took to it and loves them! PMTVUK on Youtube should still have some great videos demonstrating them and giving an idea of the different sounds they can produce.

I think at that age you have to start asking them. Mine are 16 and 14 and for the past few years Ive had a lot of hits but also a lot of expensive misses too. Its not like they believe in father Christmas anymore and so I'd just ask them what they want and get a few little surprise bits.

Mine so far have oodie type things and that's it. They will have portable phone chargers, charging cables etc in their stockings, a few books, chocolate, cinema vouchers, underwear, aftershave and a hoodie and then I think I will be asking them what they want.

Led lights
New headset for gaming
Alexa
Bose soundlink mini
Dressing gown
Clothes
Wireless charging doc
Airpods
