What are you buying your teenage boy?

[Summerishere123]

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?

This is amazing. Not even thought about it

Cricket player here and wanting new thigh pads, leg pads and gloves as well as a couple of Duke balls.

Main present for ds16 - trainers (always!)
There will also be a Lego speed champions set (tradition), new compression shorts for rugby, pants and socks, crep protect for new trainers, probably something else to wear, a book for him to ignore, lots of food.

I've got an 11 and 14 year old. They're getting phones, 110 slippers, oodies, PS vouchers they can use for their stupid fake currency, a golf putting thing, sticky football, a candymail hamper (novelty fizzy drinks and takis and stuff), new darts, laptop bed desks, giant selection boxes (from Cadbury's website), tickets for the darts championships and some clothes.

Does he have a mini fridge for his room? I got them one last year that they share, it's on their landing between their bedrooms, I keep it topped up with water, juice and fizzy drinks, they absolutely love it. We also got them a game called Cards Against Gravity last year, which went down really well.

Mine still does! Not to play with but he just loves the build...

How old is he OP - young teen or older teen?

15 year old DS has money put into a smash to open style money box as he is saving for the new Xbox that doesn't come out until 2027, socks. aftershave, cushion that looks like a bag of haribo, sweets etc

loving some ideas. Ive added a punch bag to his list as he is always pretending to box me and love the idea of the snack box.

I am totally stumped for DNephew as well.

I outright asked him what he wanted this year and he said batteries. AAs. 🤷‍♀️ well who am I to disappoint at christmas, but definitely looking for other ideas.

Ds 15 has walli and eva lego as that was a favourite movie when he was younger and it will definitely be a hit as hes lego obsessed usually star wars related.

Other bits include cinema voucher, starbuck voucher, adidas tracksuits and items he has requested.

DS 15 has a birthday just before Christmas and for both is getting a new guitar, snowboard (secondhand) and a reconditioned macbook as his main presents. My parents have bought him some vinyl and some joggers from Urban Outfitters. In his stocking he’s got a Yeti waterbottle, Tom Ford Creed dupe from Scented Aromas, face wash, some toiletries and a bath bomb from Lush, a personalised guitar Plek box, Nike socks and lots of sweets and chocs.

16yo DS also a drummer. He's getting a new drum skin and pedal, some vinyl, some paint and shelves for doing up his bedroom, always a band tshirt, stocking bits such as toiletries and usually gig tickets but I might have to resist this year as spent too much already.

For the music fans. This website was mentioned on the bargain thread.
they make jewellery out of used bass and guitar strings that have been donated by big bands.
(think everyone from mcfly to iron maiden)
I picked ds’s up the other day. It’s incredible I’m so pleased.

I've run out of places to put my Lego!
Thats before I think of the kids lego

we also have a gamer who doesn’t need any more gaming things right now.
mini fridge - to be filled with favourite drinks and chocolate
Nike tracksuit
phantom aftershave
ear buds

Can you rent one for a bit or get one second hand?

I believe clarient uses the same fingering which could be a good stepping stone too. Double check that info.

My teen is after more Lego and gaming stuff.
He got new guitar for birthday earlier in the year.
