Christmas gifts for teenage boys - HELP!

[Iamthemoom]

This year I have to buy gifts for three teenage boys ages 14, 17 and 19. I have a teen DD but no clue about current trends for boys.

The older two are gym obsessed with great personal care and have appreciated nice toiletries, aftershave in the past. But what are the current cool brands for boys?

The 14 year old is trickier. He dresses well though I suspect his mum dresses him so maybe a cool piece of clothing but again which brand? Any other ideas?

I don't want to get vouchers or food based gifts.

All ideas very much appreciated!

From my experience of my 14yo DS, buying 'cool' clothes is impossible. He buys his new clothes in 'drops' from random websites. Presumably these 'drops' are advertised on social media, which I would never see. Generally though, he only wants second hand clothes- although that might be quite localised to the 'shabby chic' trend at his school.

He has requested a 'sunset lamp' (available on Amazon) so I guess they are having a moment?

@WASZPy ok thank you. I'll look into those lamps.

How much do you want to spend?

Up to £50

I really just want to know which brands are in for teenage boys tbh then I can find fragrance or toiletries or accessories in that brand.

Some good ideas here.

A North Face water bottle is about £50. It's expensive for a water bottle but you'd be very popular!

I picked up a couple of bottles of aftershave from Zara for my teen boy. There are a couple of dupes in there so hoping he will like them.

Good idea for the older two!

I've got one of mine a small gym bag, microfibre towel, weight gloves and fit pro shower gels all for £30
I've added a set of gym wear from primark which made it up to £45

Nike socks can never go wrong.

Nike miler t-shirts also popular, good for the gym andy 14yr old has asked for all the colours.

Maybe just give him cash so that he would buy something he will like? I agree that buying "cool" clothes for teens is impossible, you don't follow the same trends that they watch closely. Giving them the opportunity and the choice would be the best option here.
If he follows some particular band or likes a particular team, maybe he'll like some clothing items from their official store(s), though.

Lava lamp or sunset lamps are definitely "cool", I really like this suggestion.

For the gym obsessed boys I'd also recommend protein powder, but read the reviews first! Good shakers would work as well, or maybe personalized desk pad calendars with famous athletes and motivational quotes? My nephew had one and he liked it because it was super convenient to highlight the workout days and see the whole plan at once.

Thanks everyone. Lots of great ideas.

What about cinema or just eat vouchers

I have block with teens this year.
