What are you getting your 13 year old boys?

[Sockmate123]

Just that really, your sons, stepsons, nephews etc

I am at a complete loss 🙈🙈
He hasn't asked us for a single thing!

My ds wants a gaming PC, so I will order that soon. He's also getting a gaming desk for his room. Some other little bits like sweets, body wash football socks. The gaming PC is expensive, so he was told he won't be getting much else. So the desk is a surprise for him.

Other years, he has got Meta quest 2 it's still going strong and plays on it most nights. Xbox, weighted blanket, gaming chair. Monitor, laptop and keyboard. Mini fridge, and lights for his bedroom.

Place marking as I am also at a loss for my DS age 13.
What about tickets for an event he'd like in 2025? Im thinking of a new jacket that he'd like.

Guitar and a Yousician subscription?

Tickets to the Stranger Things play. Oodie. Fluffy blanket. A flask to take hot chocolate for after he plays football.

Same as above: a gaming set up (desk, chair and laptop).

We were going to get him a metal detector and a magnet fishing thing but he won't use it until the spring (it gets far too cold here to want to stand in a field for hours on end on the off chance he'll find a penny) so it's pointless getting them for Christmas.

He'll get a few books, some smellies and some smaller bits like a few board games but all his small gifts will come to about £60 in total.

Mine has asked for an avocado plushie and an xbox elite controller with accessories.

I've also got him a driving lesson experience, some freeze dried sweets, a chewing gum hamper and tickets to hot wheels monster trucks show. I'll also be getting him a lindt pick and mix tin as I do every year, a NY cap, some new trainers and a roblox giftcard. Plus some other stocking fillers.

Other stuff I had on his list for ideas was a tv and wall bracket for his bedroom, upgrades for his pc, apple watch, airpod pros. He's very difficult to buy for as he isn't that bothered about appearance or branded stuff, thinks "old" stuff is cooler than new stuff, doesn't listen to music and doesn't really have hobbies other than his pc, gaming and coding. We got some vouchers for go ape, zipworld and ninja warrior last year which he really liked but wanted to do something else this year.

We did tickets to the Stranger Things show last year, so we are doing tickets to Taskmaster live this year, and Lego vouchers for our jolly in London when we go and play.

DS 12.5yrs has asked for:

Posca pens
Sketching pencils
Good sketchpads
Jurassic Park poster (will give it in a poster frame)
Lego ninjago dragon - Nya's water dragon I think
Lego Hungarian Horntail dragon
Bonsai tree
Wall mounted ball hoop to display basketball
Slippers

Bits for his stocking will probably be:

Lego blind bag x 2
Spaghetti hoops/shapes (inside joke)
Travel accessories (going on school trip soon)
Socks
Sweets
Pringles
Bath bombs
Beanie hat

• New sports bag

Chicken vs Hotdog game

Son. Nike socks, tee and hoodie. Trains, he's a trainspotter and has a set up at home. I found a Hornby set of a train we saw this year and bought it early. Book about trains. Smellies, some EDT and bath products. Lego. Chocolate and biscuits and a few other train related stocking fillers.

Oh and we're going on the Polar Express in December. I won't be telling him until the day before. Split the cost of that with a friend who wanted to contribute as his present.

Following

New Xbox and Star Wars lego are what made the list.

I'm thinking about Samsung Fit watch and maybe a Nike or Adidas hoodie

Thanks for all the replies. Some good ideas definitely

Super car driving experience, clothes, Nike socks, aftershave, lynx, pizza blanket, gaming beanbag, hot choc kit, rechargeable hand warmer, football tickets, sleeping bag, touchscreen gloves, radox muscle soak, pull up bar, toastie maker, fleece bedding.

Hth

Last year's hit was a pull up bar
