16yr old boy. We’re in need of some inspiration!

[maldivemoment]

Our son recently celebrated his 16th birthday and received lovely gifts from family and friends. However this now means he (mostly we!) are stumped for Christmas! Argh!

He not got hobbies, as such. Likes gaming but got all he needs for that. Not into sports. Doesn’t go out much so not really interested in clothes/fashion. He loves reading, esp sci-fi but we have soooooooo many books.
Oh god, it’s an impossible task, isn’t it? 😭

Any ideas? Quirky/practical/fun, etc.

Im sure there are a bijillion threads on this already but if anyone can help I’d be extremely grateful.

Mine is having some young driver lessons. He's also asked for one of the metal posters mentioned upthread.

@SharpLemonShark crackin suggestion. Thank you

Lumsden, Aberdeenshire. You turn off the main A96 (Aberdeen to Inverness) at Huntly & just stay on that road for about 8 miles.

Thank you, I've just ordered a pink floyd and a back to the future poster for grandson and nephew.
Shipping is steep but they are heavy!

Cool! Hope you all have an amazing time - I've been to many punchdrunk shows and they've always been so impressive.

Boss portable speaker and a subscription to Spotify?

My 17yo is getting

ipad
hoodie
jpggers
wallet
calvin klein boxers
phone charger
water bottle for the gym
chocolate

If he's like sci-fi and you live near/could do a trip to London then how about tickets for the War of the Worlds live experience thing
It's very good!
Does he like building things? You could get a make your own watch kit (but they are pricey)

Oh thank you 🤩 will definitely try it out! X

Would he appreciate an experience voucher. Young driving course. Zip line experience, hot air balloon ride, something like that? If he has everything he needs at the moment then suggest putting money in to an account for him to save towards driving lessons next year.
