What is your 12/13/14 year old boys getting?

[Treeforme]

What is your 12/13/14 year old boys getting? I’m really stuck for ideas. they do not know what they want :(

14 year old.

Nike trainers
A junior super car driving experience session (gets to drive 3 different sports cars round a track). Bought through Virgin experience days.
A new boot bag for his rugby boots
Hair texturising powder
Mirror for his bedroom.
Shower gel set
PS5 gift card
Slippers
Ski googles for his upcoming school ski trip.

Stocking - Lynx body sprays
Greggs gift card
chocolate
Stranger Things themed pop tarts

My 12 year old has asked for the Fifa 26 game, FNAF things and clothing

DS is almost 13 and so far I’ve got him

a new tv
a mini fridge
hugo boss aftershave
the tea bag Jellycat
tickets for Man City

then I’m going to get him
some fancy chocolate (probably hotel chocolat)
This seasons Man City shirt
a tea pot (he loves cups of tea!)
new clothes

Last year I gave my grandson, almost 13, a stadium tour at his favourite football team, as well as his Dad, he seemed to enjoy it. It's a really difficult age for boys!

In terms of hot chocolate maker, one from Amazon that has a 4 or 5 in one function. I’ve not chosen yet, but it won’t be the velvitiser as it’s so expensive.

My 12 year old is not into sport, fashion or much of anything else except gaming. He has asked for a hover board though with a go kart attachment
. Other stuff includes an official Oodie (he likes how soft and thick they are) and HP Lego set. Then it will just be stocking filler type things so chocolate, sweets, a book (probably something like diary of a wimpy kid), phone case, power bank, fidgets and a family game (such as exploding kittens).

Last year battleship was a massive hit! Moving forward I will probably try to get vouchers for experience days or events as part of main gift.

A couple of years ago young driver vouchers went down well.

Mine did the super car experience in the summer and loved it- it was really good

@SharpLemonSharkcould you tell me where you got the CK minatures please? Have been looking for similar for my DS

Can I ask what the comic book about ramen is? My son would love that

Would be interested to know what music player you've gone for, please? Looking for a simple old-fashioned (hah) MP3 player for my 12-yr old.

11 year old so a bit younger, no phone yet

beanbag for room
switch game
under armour base layers for football training in winter
Posca pens (more colours)
A family board game called Beat That
stocking

Ramen comic book cook book!

Oh and look at Big Potato Games, they’ve got some great ones that this age enjoy. We have a really good game called The Chameleon which was a very well received gift.

That Nike Dunk Lego is awesome!

Cricket pads
cricket gloves
IOU for cricket spikes (if bought now they’re bound to be too small come late spring)
books, mainly popular history
weighted blanket
Switch game (DH is in charge there, I have not a clue)

His stocking is a nightmare as he eats neither sweets nor chocolate (I question sometimes how he’s mine based on this) but will include Beano annual, Xmas socks, sleep spray and whatever bright ideas I have very soon (he was unimpressed by the suggestion that he might like cologne or body spray). So thank you for the thread, OP!

For stockings mine has got lots of random stuff and then lots of Japanese / Asian food items. And 12 Bombay bad boy pot noodles.

My 13 yo has:

new phone
airforce 1 trainers
essentials hoody
his football team playing cards
Waffle maker
dupe suvage aftershave
a couple of Stussy t shirts
A personalised football

My 14 year olds list is -
football shirts
football boots
lego spiderman or simpsons
ps5 games / controller / chargers / cables
weights
Pc microphone
fragrance
Electric toothbrush
cuddle cushion
funko pops of football players

Hi @hannahbanana2007 I’m in Ireland, I ordered it from Magee Pharmacy.

Thanks, that’s great, he loves cars and F1 so I think DS will love it too.

Ds is 13. He got new (v expensive!) football boots this season so he know theyre part Xmas. He also is getting
a harmonica
north face hoodie
north face beanie in his football team colour
A fitness box (pylometrics)
smellies
a portable blender thing for his shakes
cheap (from the bargain thread) bone conducting ear pods
lego technic sports car
PJs

I highly recommend the driving experience at Mercedes Benz world in Surrey. We did the one when you do half an hour on the road & half an hour off road. It’s really good. The off road bit is more interesting but DS really enjoyed the on road bit too.
I worked out that if you go on a particular Sunday each month, the track team do a display at lunchtime. It only lasts 5-10
mins but was fun to watch. Plus, if you go on a Grand Prix weekend, they show the race (plus the qualifying the previous day etc)
We parked about 12:30, watched the display at 1pm, went & had lunch in the surprisingly nice & not badly priced restaurant, got down to the conference room for about 1:50, watched the race until about 2:30, wondered around the displays/museum and had a go on the Scalextric (less than £5pp I seem to think) and in the simulator (about £10pp maybe) and then went for a coffee before doing the driving thing at about 4pm
