Help for nearly 17 year old boy presents

[Pinkflower100]

He’s only got 3 so far (2 items of clothes and a book) and his sister has quite a few more. It’s going to look unbalanced so I really need a few ideas if possible? He likes the gym and gaming but doesn’t need anything for them and he’s at college but doesn’t need anything there either. Really stuck. He doesn’t know what he wants either!

Mini fridge was a big hit with my teens to

Boys are so hard to by for my teenage girls so so easy. So I’ve an 18 year old boy and only thing he has asked for is diesel….nope not the clothing etc brand…..actual fuel for his car 😂 (think adulthood and running his own car is more expensive than he thought 😂). This year I’ve bought him some clothes, Calvin Klein boxers, aftershave, a new watch and also a double bed and new mattress. (Sounds like I’ve spent a lot but the actual bed frame my cousin has given it to us, and it’s top quality). But my idea behind it was one day he will hopefully move out so he had a double bed and good quality mattress to take with him 🙈😂 but think moving out will be a long way off.

Maybe a nice watch? I did get my son one last year and he loved it more than I thought he would, it wasn’t a good make mainly cos I thought he wouldn’t wear one as hadn’t wore one before but I found out he has been wearing it still for past few months despite the battery being dead 😂

oh and last year I bought him a really nice leather wallet again something I thought he wouldn’t actually appreciate it was just to add to his pile but he again loves it xx

When is he 17? How about driving lessons?

My teenage DS is getting:
Reconditioned Macbook and a new snowboard
Urban Outfitter baggy joggers
Yeti water bottle
Vinyl of his favourite band
Noted Aromas dupe for Tom Ford ‘Creed’
In his stocking; lots of sweets and chocs
A Stephen King book and a Japanese crime novel by Seishi Yokomizo
Posh Whittards Hot Chocolate
Lush bath bomb and shower-gel
A personalised wooden box for his guitar piks with his name on.
Nip and Fab face wash
Tiger balm
PJ bottoms

I have a nearly 16 year old boy who loves ramen noodles and loves japanese anime. (particularly cats)

So i got him something quite similar to this.

Also bought him some Gucci aftershave as loves a brand.

Thanks guys. I’ve now ordered some post gym shower gels, protein powders and an aftershave. Thinking about a massage gun but don’t want to buy for the sake of it. It’s still quite uneven but if I have to I will take some of my daughters away and give it to her for her birthday a week after Xmas 😬🤣.

Driving lessons are a possibility but he doesn’t turn 17 until 2nd April so it is a long wait. Was thinking of them for his birthday but having seen the cost of them perhaps a lessson for Xmas would be good too.

Having pinched most of mine, DS (17) is getting a 50ml bottle of Jo Malone pomegranate noir.

massage gun is a great idea, this one's nice and compact and doesn't cost a fortune HoMedics NOVO Mini Massage Gun - Heated Electric Handheld Massagers with 4 Attachments & 6 Intensity Settings, Deep Tissue Vibrating Massager for Discomfort Ease, Percussion Massage - Black : Amazon.co.uk: Health & Personal Care
The teens round here had luggage for their independent travels and ready for heading to uni.

Thank you! I think I’ll get that! My son isn’t going to uni as he’s learning a trade but would have been a good idea if he was!

Mines so hard to buy for, he loves unwrapping presents at xmas but hes one of these men that could live in an empty room quite happily, he just doesn't actually want or need anything.

Got some aftershave, merch his favorite sports team, some sports equipment, new bedding, merch his favorite musician, a book and silly little things like funny socks, bags of chocolate etc...

All feels quite boring really.

Does it really need to look balanced at the age of 17. My sons hasn’t looked balanced he was about 14.

Oh, the Movie Poster sounds interesting. Where did you get this?

Steam credit

I got it from Gift Republic but you can also get it from Amazon 😊

Movie poster

You could make up a book with different gift vouchers in - don’t have to be for big amounts - eg gaming, coffee shop, book shop, toiletries, cinema etc. Essentially it’s money but is something to open and feels more thoughtful

Something from Urban Outfitters or vouchers. That's all my teens want.

Urban Outfitters hoodie/joggers/jeans or vouchers.

Mine has a steering wheel and pedals to go with the PS5 F1 game he will have, smellies, lots of socks, snacks he likes, perfume, wallet, PS voucher and hair products.
