Stuck for mid teens boy ideas

[polkadotpjs]

For my son from people asking me what to get. He's sporty and loves cricket and football and gaming
Being asked for gift ideas for about £10
Any ideas? £10 doesn't go far. I'm thinking a cool book but what? Or gaming accessory ?
I've used most ideas for myself 😂

£10 for a twenty really doesn't go far.

How about a gift card for Spotify, iTunes, x box, does he like the cinema?

A wirless phone charger?
Typo have a sale on and have water dispenser on sale for £14, got my ds 16 one as he always has water. Figured if he filled it with oxygen cold water it would last the day.

Shot in the Dark card game
Big Potato Bucket of Doom
Perplexus - the Revolution Runner and Rebel versions are about the £10 mark
Thames & Kosmos The Abandoned Cabin escape game
Heat change mug
Mug cake kit
LED beanie hat

I was also going to suggest a gift card...maybe a gaming one?

Branded hat, water bottle, wallet?

Portable phone charger?

Personally I’d suggest xbox/gaming whatever £10 gift card and a big bar of chocolate. Can’t go wrong.

We got my sportsmad son a base layer/skin with his nickname down the sleeve. He loves it.

Ooops sorry obviously more than £10! Football socks? Amazon vouchers always good.

It is awful isn't it that £10 doesn't buy much. I might ask for a sweetie selection - when you mentioned large bar chocolate a lightbulb went off. He LOVES chocolate. Well all food really
Phone charger cables foo- they disappear. A lot

Ooh water bottle is a brilliant shout too. He loses them with a frequency that's startling

my teens want vouchers for their games console.
or vouchers towards a new controller.

Agree with everything everyone else has said but if you were after a book, this gets great reviews www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/152913532X?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title&tag=mumsnetforu03-21

You can get gaming vouchers for Steam if that’s his thing

When am asked what should be bought for ds14 I say giftcard for playstore for ps4 family are happy todo this as 1 saves them shopping about and 2 they know he can then buy something he wants. He usually ends up with about £60 an can buy one of the latest games he wants.

One relative likes to give a physical gift but those who offer cash will not be discouraged. I need to ask about my friend now...will hop on bargain thread

My son sounds similar to OP's. He loves sports biographies especially cricket - let me know if that sounds possible and I'll get the low down on the best ones!

Portable charger
Gift card for cinema/coffee shop/Amazon if you don't want to encourage more gaming
Aftershave samples

I got my son one of those massive 2l water bottles for his 14th birthday and it was one of his favourite gifts. It was slightly more than £10 but you can probably get cheaper versions.
Brightly coloured sports socks are also a big hit!

My teens love American sweets and you can boxes of a decent selection of them from Amazon for around £12

Books
Controller cover
Reusable cup
Smellies
Slipper socks
Wallet
Nice(r than the usual) pen
Voucher of some description - coffee shop, greggs, Amazon, gaming, sports shop
Football socks/shim pads
Water bottle
Mug plus mug cake book
Poster for room beanie hat
DIY neon sign (I’m sure I saw this do r about £10 in WHSmith earlier!)
Tshirt
Small game
Small alarm clock
Pencil case
Wash bag for weekends away

If anyone wanted to give my sons £10 gift I'd just say put a tenner in a card
Then he can save it or spend it on what he likes 👍🏻

I'm actually now really excited about getting him "bits" from us now I have great ideas. 🙏
