I need to even out the gifts for my 14yr old with his little brother and I'm at a loss for inspiration. He's given me very little to go on this year. Budget £50-100.

Hes a very mature 14, follows our local football team, he would like to think of himself as an ultra/casual, but no longer plays football due to injury, follows 80s casual fashion and likes PC gaming, but only plays a couple of niche games.

So far I've got this, it's probably enough but as I say I need to even it out...and it might give some other people ideas.

Weekend Offender t-shirt
Toiletry set
Nike Miler tshirt
Nike sliders
LED Clock charger
Shaver
Tracksuit top (requested)
gaming mouse (requested)
Football glass
PC Air cans

Stocking:
Hot choc bomb
Nike Socks
Shoe eraser
Spiral cone
Boxers
Charging cable
Sweets

He's also getting a football top and tshirt from family and he has lots of money left from his birthday. Will probably do an away match ticket too.

I don't want to do money or vouchers.

Thank you for all of the suggestions. A lot of them would be perfect for my 10yr old but I've spent enough on him already.

Decided in the end to upgrade the RAM on his PC, another teeny tiny parcel compared to his brother's pile but at least it will be useful to him and he will understand the value of his gifts.

I get that. I ordered a 1tb external Ssd hard drive for my 14 year old, it looks like it would fit in my purse!
