Hi what main presents have you got your 14 year olds? My son has an iPad, switch, phone, and nothing he overly wants or needs. He has autism and not interested in clothes. Computer games are a bit pointless as just plays the free downloads. So far thinking insomnia tickets and got a few small bits.

Occulus

Ds is asking for AirPods - debating whether to actually get them or if he'll lose them.

My 14yo DS has asked for cash for, or certain parts for building a gaming PC. I'm also getting him some smaller bits to open on Christmas morning like Haynes manual for building gaming PC, LED strip lights, crossbody bag and sweet hamper.

Other ideas I would be considering for a main present if it wasn't for wanting cash though are...
Big local theme park annual pass
Stranger Things experience tickets
Maybe a young driver experience

Previous hits/other ideas...
Ear buds (not AirPods...can't afford but his Skullcandy ones have been great)
Fifa 23
Football boots
His football club's shirt
Mystery football shirt box
Nike trainers
Branded tracksuit
V8 model engine
Echo dot
Fitbit
Pull-up bar for bedroom
Dumbbell set

Mine wants an occulas. Trying to see if they will come down In price a bit in black friday sakes though 🤞

Mine is having a gaming pc. However I always give things they need for Xmas too.

Throughout the year I buy trainers and clothing next size up when they are half price. So he's got some Jordan trainers, Adidas ones, a few tracksuits, t shirts etc.

He's into anime so an anime t shirt or something. Toxic waste sweets.

I know he'd love a super car driving experience or helicopter ride so will do them next year for him. Or maybe a zoo keeper experience.

Mountain bike or a drone

Thankyou for the replies. I did think about Occulus although it seems stupidly expensive. I did think about an animal experience as well as I saw something about feeding the seals.

I'm trading in my ds' Frog for his first adult bike. And he wants some decent headphones that last, and don't need charging (since he always forgets).

DS is 14 with autism too... he’s only into gaming, don’t care about clothes (barely wears any tbh) sports. He’s got, an iPad, gaming computer, switch, air pods.. he’s asked for an Apple Watch and a new monitor for his computer and that’s it...
it’s his birthday 11 days after and I am struggling 🙁

VR for the ps5, not released yet, has an occulus and wants the new occulus when released late next year for next year's Christmas!

😂 I feel your pain, ds's birthday is 23rd December and he also rarely wears many clothes!

Anyone who already has the occulus - is it worth the money do you think? Cheapest I can see it is £379 on Amazon which is pretty much all ds's budget.
