Stocking fillers for 17-year-old boys....

[multivac]

Any ideas? So far they have posh Swedish licorice; a book related to their A levels ('cos I'm FUN MUM); and a cute plushie ('cos I'm FUN MUM).

I'll add smellies, pants and socks. And LOTS of food/drink. But anyone got a killer idea for something more... gifty?

A powerball went down well with mine. Cheap end of the range obv!

They are real
I got one last year for teen ds. It was quite funny.

Last year my DS loved his wallet ninja - it was a really popular choice! He also really liked his Sugru mouldable glue
Mine always likes things that are either consumable or practical the best - he’s not really a fan of “stuff” so his stocking always follows those rules

Mine is a little bit younger, but the weird random thing he asked for recently and has used loads was a pack of 100 coloured cable ties! He's used them on his bike and as cable tidies for his computer, and has made some weird abstract sculptures with them.

Oh I wish I'd seen this post before I just started my own! Some great ideas on here!

If they're the puzzly type, I'd also suggest a Rubik's cube, or wood or metal puzzles (W.H. Smiths had some where we live when I was in last week) or one of those little Escape Games that come in a box (a friend and I had one recently and actually really enjoyed it, to my surprise, though you can only play them once, really - I think I got it either at Waterstones or Amazon), or something like the GCHQ Puzzle Book?

Different types of chocolate for them to try, hot chocolate, chocolate spoons (yes, bit of a theme going on here!)

I'm presuming something analogue, like a wall or desk calendar, wouldn't go down well?

Update, in case it's of use to everyone else - this is the final list (they are twins, so where two things are listed together, they are one for one, one for t'other. Thanks for all the ideas!

@multivac

(they game, obvs, but via PC)

If they just have a generic cheap mouse for their PC i would look at getting a bit of a fancy one there are some cool looking ones out there

That's a good idea, thanks Stade
