What is anyone getting teenage boys this year? Up to about £50 (he will also get some cash).

Resistance bands, ear buds, a card game and soda stream bottles

Is it for a young or older teen? My teenage boy will be 18 this Christmas. Things around the £50 mark that he would love are:
Aftershave
More aftershave!
Gymshark bag
Protein shaker and powder/snacks
Airfryer (hoping for a decent offer!) and cook book
Nice hoodie or jumper
£50 cash

Things that he’s had and loves in previous years…
Dartboard
Analogue watch
Thermal travel mug
Hobby-related stuff
Mini fridge for his bedroom
Mystery football shirts (this was a staple present for years…he loved receiving these!)
Football stadium tour
Clothes or vouchers
Chain necklace
Smores hamper or sweet hamper
Power bank/charging cables
Bag for school/college
Nice coffee table style book on something he’s interested in (it was history here!)
Toiletries

I'm struggling for 16 year old DS this year. Gonna get a Gymshark bag mentioned above, thanks.

Previous hits have been

Mini fridge
Pull up bar
Gift cards (always Steam, Greggs, Starbucks etc in stocking)
Gymshark clothes
Aftershave (he loves all, Notino had good offers last Black Friday)
Slipknot hoody

Mine liked getting 3 vinyls for £60 from hmv. He would choose them obviously!
also football shirts.

He’s 13 and has a January birthday too, so I always have to find two things! Some great suggestions so far, everyone.

Mine has some SEN so not everything he likes is the same as other teens, but he does like his Oodie knock-off (which is now more waist than knee length so a new one will be in order!), fluffy onesies, and Lego.
He's into F1 so likely some related merch. In fact if anyone has any ideas I'll be grateful!
I also think he'd like a new star projector for his bedroom but that might be a bit young for other teens. Don't really know - I have no frame of reference.
Also has a Jan birthday!

My son is nearly a teenager and so far on my list I have:
LED light strip
Ear buds
Beano and Dandy annual (might be the last year for these I think)
Aftershave

What are his hobbies? One of mine was sporty so he’s having sports socks in stocking, grip strengthening thing, foam roller, new Nike bag he’s asked for, a volley ball (branded one he’s asked for) and a PSG hoody.

My other son wasn’t sporty and in the past he’s had music related gifts like plectrums, new strings, drumsticks etc in stocking. New clothes, a noodle maker, chopsticks, manga books, charger bank, new wallet with cash or Greggs voucher type thing.

At that age vouchers rather than risk getting it wrong or ask them. Don’t guess.

So far I've got mine

  • 2x PS5 games
  • Sundae set
  • shower radio
  • a squishy toy

My DS is 13 and so far I have bought him a bar bag for his mountain bike (£25 in the sale from Muc-Off), a matcha kit for £15 from Flying Tiger and some mini Stussy posters which were £10 on Vinted (brand new).

Probably world of war craft models an paint. Pleased to say they've followed the family tradition of being total nerds
