I am struggling with DS. He has every tech thing needed.
Wants clothes and or cash.
I don't gift cash as he just buys hoards of sweets with it.
So far i've got him a lego set he chose and an outfit? What are you getting so I can steal your ideas pleas?

Fernleigh22 · 24/11/2025 19:49

Really struggling with mine too. So far he has FC25 and a F1 book

Nameeechanged · 24/11/2025 19:53

earpods and a drum kit here. His grandma is getting him trainers and F1 Lego.

ATadSurprised · 24/11/2025 19:58

Lego set and a t-shirt 😂and two books I think he'd like. I'm out of ideas.

Summerishere123 · 24/11/2025 20:00

My son is a drummer so he’s having a new lined cymbal bag and a drum throne.
He’s also particular about clothes so taking him to Cheshire oaks to get him to choose some new bits.

Bufftailed · 24/11/2025 20:03

No idea yet. DC 16. Dressing gown 🤣🤣

Kneeslikethese · 24/11/2025 20:03

Mines a drummer so sticks, cymbal cleaner, drummy type stuff.
Also, a steering wheel for his box, aftershave, niche popcorn he likes, a vynal he wants, lego, a microphone for his camera.

Teenagers like Lego??

Kneeslikethese · 24/11/2025 20:04

A lot of drummers on this thread! 😂

Summerishere123 · 24/11/2025 20:05

DS has been saying he wants to play sax but I can't justify spending £500 on a new instrument!

New laptop (16).

Blankscreen · 24/11/2025 20:06

I'm struggling for ds 15. I don't feel like anything is a 'present' and is just stuff he needs anyway.

So far
-trainers
-gym stuff (gym shark)

  • arc-teryx jacket
-Dressing gown. -Aftershave

Not sure he'll appreciate lego but it all seems really boring.

justforthisnow · 24/11/2025 20:09

I have a few in this age range!
Aftershaves (Armani Stronger with You, YSL)
Rituals shower foam/gel, Lynx (seems more popular with younger teen)
Socks
Vouchers (Ticketmaster always a good bet, or Ryanair if they can travel).
Lego (Architect ones good).
Gaming pass (x box, PS).
Secrid wallet.
Hoodies, t shirts always a good buy.

Jean Paul Gaultier miniature set
Robux voucher
Badminton racket case
Heated blanket
North face hoodie
nice boxers

Bought mine a vinyl player and the guardians of the galaxy soundtracks. He loved a gaming fridge for his room last birthday (a couple of months ago)

FrauDoktor · 24/11/2025 20:22

Someone suggested International Snacks box.

FrauDoktor · 24/11/2025 20:23

Wheech · 24/11/2025 20:36

Mines 11 going on 21 but books, South Park stuff, aftershave, hand warmers, pyjamas, a pack of his favourite fizzy drinks, boba tea, sweets I've picked up on my travels this year and probably boxers and a Nike hoody or tracksuit.

BigSkies2022 · 24/11/2025 20:40

I used to buy mine ‘cosy’ stuff -slippers, cashmere socks, pjs, blankets, dressing gowns (not all the same year). Also nice shampoo, moisturiser, hair gel. Good pens. Cinema vouchers.
