Cinema vouchers.
The balls you can put in trainers to stop them smelling (you can usually find rugby/soccer/basketballs).
Smellies (deodorant, nice shower gel etc,)
Christmas themed boxers.
Chocolate orange ( or whatever their favourite is).
Chopsticks.
If they have any games like Cards against Humanity booster packs.

All have gone down well in my house.

rubix cube/ puzzle
chocolate coins
lego minifigure
a card type game
funky/ marvel/ simpsons socks (for example!)
funko pops

UsernameHoarder · 16/10/2026 05:59

Here for ideas.

But mine always get some heat holders socks (or cheap versions at least)
Gloves that you can still use your phone with.
A tube of smarties.
Smellies.

I also mooch about for other bits. I like kikkerland brand for interesting bits.

Some screen cleaning fluid and a cloth went down really well last year.

I am currently hunting for other bits so will report back with any good finds. I will also go to our China town and get some bits from the supermarkets, like their favourite ramen noodles (indomie) and anything else interesting.

From other threads on here I have seen the spatula type spoons that you use to scrape out the very last of a Nutella type jar.

Great thread, thanks @TheRealSmurfette

Great ideas here! My DGS is 15 and I find it really hard to think of little bits and pieces for him.

3 teen boys. Mine still like a hot wheels car (proper cars rather than the made up one). Also this year: colourful football/ rugby socks for training, screwdriver keyring tool, hackysack, Christmas socks (Nike and Adidas do some), sweets/chocolates, body spray.

BatsInHibernation · 16/10/2026 08:34

Thanks for this, some great ideas. My son is 13.
So far;
extra long charging cables
Power bank for phone
Card games and bits and bobs from Waterstones
This year I will probably add an electric shaver and some aftershave for the first time

The M&S £8 EDT sprays are excellent. There’s a mix it masculine and feminine scents.

Monr0e · 16/10/2026 20:47

Some great ideas already

Every year DS has a choc orange, Christmas socks, toiletries or nice shampoo (he has long hair) small lego set, a magazine related to a hobby ir interest and something novel if I can find anything

This year he is also getting a pickle spoon and fork set!
