I need inspiration! I have his main gift (concert tickets) but need ideas for some smaller things to open, and gifts from siblings/ family too. A bit about him…
He likes fitness but tends to use his dad’s gym stuff (weights etc)
He has a PS4/ switch/ gaming chair but not expressing an interest in any new games
He used to go boxing pre lockdown but hasn’t started up again since as his mates haven’t
He likes listening to music and hanging out with mates.
He doesn’t have strong opinions on clothes/ trainers (I will probably buy him a couple of bits for Christmas, not sure what)
He has a pet bearded dragon.
Last year’s surprise hit was a wallet ninja type thing (though I think he’s lost it now!)

I bought my 15 year old grandson a mini fridge for his bedroom last year and it was his favourite present. It cost £30 and had room for about 3 cans of pop and a bar of chocolate but as soon as he opened it he was texting his mates telling them he had it. High praise indeed.

Great idea, but he has one! He got it for his 15th birthday, it was a massive hit!

Vouchers for his favourite shops and places to eat.
Off road driving experience
Upgraded normal stuff - designer pants and socks
Favourite chocolate
Long charging cables (always seem to be a bit with boys this age!)

Agree to everything above.. Esp long length cable Grin My 16 ds likes really cool mountain bike gear, think fireblade, gmbm etc, he also loves specialist bike cleaning products (muc off)

I also bought him a gorgeous designer satchel /messenger bag for college. He loves it and it gets plenty of admiration from his mates and the teachers.

Also retro light bulbs which respond to alexa. He loves quirky lightbulb.

Ok, so long charging cable, light bulbs and chocolate added to the list. Thanks for all the suggestions, please keep them coming!
