He's 17 and very hard to buy for. He didn't ask for anything as he said he didn't need anything apart from headphones - specified big ones that go over your head, so I've got those.
The only thing I could think of that he'd want was football tickets. He supports our local team and ex used to take him a few of times per year but it fizzled out over Covid. Then a few years ago they got into the Premiership but ds hasn't been for years and every now and then will say how shit it is that he hasn't been even once since they were in the Premiership.
I thought the cost was going to be sky high but then saw you can pay a yearly fee of £40 that gives you 3rd priority access to tickets that actually don't cost that much. You need to buy two memberships and then one ticket per account. I thought ds could go with his dad as I loath football, which ds knows. Stupidly I bought one membership in my name and one in ds's but now I am coming to buy the actual tickets I see that they have to be in the name of the member and can't be transferred.
So I will have to go...Ds and I do a lot together and get on vey well but I can't help thinking it's going to be a bit underwhelming going with me and he'd have a much better time with his dad (or a friend but all the ones who like football have season tickets). I've done the same with cricket tickets and never thought to check that Premiership football tickets would be more of a big deal to buy.
I'm hoping he'll be so pleased to be going he won't care but I'm cross with myself. It was going to be part of his 18th present as well (birthday in March) as I'm planning to get tickets for as many matches as possible between now and the end of the season, so I'm concerned it'll fall flat for both.
