What kind of budget did you have in mind? X

Depends on the budget. I am getting teen DS a mystery shirt subscription. He gets a different random football shirt every 3 months. it is around £35 every 3 months but it's paid every 3 months so means I don't have to find a lot of money all at once and I will cancel after 1 year.

That t- shirt thing is a good idea.

OHS has cheap “oodie” type jumpers and throws that my teens like.

I got some good bits on Temu too - e.g. a light up mirror for a few pounds that my teens use daily.

So body sprays aren’t too expensive and go down well.

Food hampers of favourite snacks and drinks are always hits

Can you look on vinted or ebay for things they like that are brand new? Branded items. I've got a few bargains on there recently.
