Can I see your present lists for older teenage boys please?

[FelicityGraceSpoon]

I have the following on my list for my just turned 17 year old boy - he won't receive it all but they're ideas under consideration! Would love to see your lists

Theragun (this I have bought already - managed to get one for under £100)

Xbox series X (hoping for another price drop)

iPad - his existing one is 5 years old and used daily

Nike Tech tracksuits / Fred Perry hoodie / Ralph Lauren tracksuit / Nike t shirts / Nike dri fit tracksuits

Fiddle cubes + toys

Home made sweets and crisps hamper

Crimpit

@Waspie look at Displate for very cool posters!

I second Displate - we've had a few metal F1 posters from them for DS1 😎

Otherwise we've also blown up photos he's taken into huge posters and had those framed which he loved.

For posters, depending on their interests, qwertee do them and red bubble gas if anything too much choice so that you can't actually pick any...

Whats with the trainer wipes? Any particular one?

Never thought about a Stanley Cup - any recommendations of which one?

My boys (17,16) are sharing a PS5 and football game.

DS16 is also getting a Tower of Terror hat - a funko pop and socks with our 3cats on them!

DS17 is getting a new razor and face cream thanks to this thread! Also 1.3kg bag of Jolly ranchers and the cat socks! Also need to get him Ralph pants, need a few other bits so keeping my eye on this thread!!

Great ideas! I have three boys to buy for.

The magnetic cubes are all the rage on TikTok. I got a couple from eBay.

Stanley cup - I got the Ice Flow with integrated straw.

@Waspie if he's into music there are some really cool posters with song lyrics on. You can get ones made up with your choice of lyrics too.

Lots on Etsy

A few more ideas that I've bought recently if anyone is still looking for smaller items!

Beast Strong smelling salts (for the sports lover - it's a tiny little tub and VERY strong but quite a quirky little gift)

Hematite smooth magnets

Couch console

Boring but an Oral B io toothbrush - you can get the 3 for 57 quid at the moment which is quite decent

Thanks all for your poster site recommendations I will take a look at Displate, qwertee and red bubble gas. Yes, either sport or music posters @NormalForNuneaton I'll check out Etsy too. Should have thought of that myself really, d'oh!

Found a great West Ham poster on Displate but it's £15.99 postage!!!

Are Stanley cups worth the money?

I’m bought 2 equivalents in America when the Stanley was sold out completely. A brand called Reduce. Bought them in February and I have used both daily. They are the best things I’ve bought so I can’t see a Stanley being any less. A couple of people at work have UK/China equivalents from til tok that have been rubbish.

Thanks that's helpful @Timeforallthecheese Thinking about getting one for DD she's asked for either a water bottle or a decent coffee cup (and the Starbucks coffee cups she wanted are £30!)

I wouldn't want it, it's very heavy. But it's the "in" brand and for teens that matters. Plus it gave me something to buy at around the price I would usually spend on them that wasn't something they would afford themselves.

The shape means it can fit in a car cup holder and yet holds quite a lot because it's wider at the top.

I quite like Built cups myself.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a speaker suitable for the bathroom?

I discovered 20 year old DS has been using (and leaving) his ridiculously expensive speaker in the bathroom whilst he's in the shower! Thinking I could buy him a suitable one for Christmas

I have this one and it’s great- good sound given the size.

Yes the Stanley cups are worth it. Of course you can get similar for cheaper but the branding matters so getting a copy just won't cut it IF the Stanley is what they want

Could you tell me what the magnetic cubes are? DS has a thing for magnets! 😆

Great thanks!

@Seaglass7 you didn't ask me but I'm the OP on a name change so forgive me jumping in - try these ones. Very tactile

HEMATITE - STRONG MAGNETIC TUMBLESTONES (20-30MM) - FRIDGE MAGNET - BUY 5 OR 10 (B. 10 stones) amzn.eu/d/9Lhs3Pt

I read the thread looking for a gift for my nephew - no kids of my own so no idea what teenage boys like. I've come away with nice grooming stuff for him, and a crimpet for me 😂
For those looking for last-minute crimpets and dont want to risk post, they are available in Robert Dyas.

My plan with DS1 and his delicate little lego sets for Christmas has gone a little awry as he's broken his fingers...not a nice clean break either 😭

We have Sony Bluetooth speakers which are excellent and so waterproof you can have them bobbing around in the bath or a pool if you wished
