Teenage Boys Christmas Gifts

[ChristmasLunatic33]

Lovely people! Need some Christmas advice please! I'm trying to organise my charity Christmas gifts for this year- I've got everything for my younger children- both boys and girls, and everything for a teenage girl, but I have no clue whatsoever what to get for a teenage boy!

I'm filling a stocking so I need a good few ideas, but so far all I've got is the following;

-Chocolate/Sweeties
-Smellies set
-Some kind of card game
-MAYBE something Stranger Things related?

My cubs are 20 (boy) & 23 (girl), but they are both EXTREMELY unique in their likes and dislikes, so I can't follow their desires or ask them for advice, so I decided to make a plea to the good parents of Mumsnet!

Can you please suggest gifts for a teenage boy?
Obviously given that I'm filling a stocking, I can't afford to spend a fortune on any one single gift, so please bear this in mind, but ultimately I need some kind of suggestions/advice, so please do have at it.

Replies are very much appreciated, so thank you so much to you all in advance, and given the topic, I'd just like to wish everyone reading this a very Happy Christmas too! Hope you all have a great one this year, and that Father Christmas makes sure you're all just as spoilt as the rest of your family!

Thanks again all!

Much love,

The Christmas Loon! 🎄😘🎄

Wow, resistance bands! Amazing idea for my own DS, thank you.

Would a charging cable be too out of line, price-wise?

Rubber ball/ fidget toy

RFID card case

Hopping on this thread for inspiration...need stocking fillers for teenage boys of various ages 11 to 16!

I wouldn’t get a charging cable for someone you don’t know tbh.You mention it’s a charity stocking, so perhaps they might not have a device or if the have an older phone there are multiple types of cables to choose from.

American sweets
tony chocolonely chocolate bar
£5 costa gift card
A Rubik’s cube if you could pick one on cheap enough (maybe eBay?)

Trainer wipes, shoe air freshener balls, highlighter pens, sports sweat bands, hair gel/wax, protein bars, Tepe brushes, chocolate coins, funny flavour pot noodles.

My teens have one of those games that’s a headband with a ball attached by elastic that you have to box (I don’t know the proper name!) - it was a hit last year. Also Lego mini F1 car, UNO, mini football (£6 in Adidas Black Friday).

I would try and go generic rather than stranger things. I have 3 teen boys and none of them or their friends like stranger things. Things I have found to be a hit are fidget toys of most varieties, anything edible particularly unusual flavours or foreign foods, water bottles or cups, gloves that are touch screen friendly ( I picked up a pack of 2 in primark for a Couple of pounds) and small lego (doesn't have to be the brand) or model type sets basicly something to make or build. Socks are always a winner I think teen boys eat them.
