Boys 18th birthday presents.....???

[blossomsmine]

I am losing the will to live i think......i just cannot think of what to buy my ds for his 18th....want to get something he can keep, but would like something abit different. Any ideas?? Anyone?? He is quite an arty/creative kind of boy....??? Please!!

I don't know your son and mine are two young for me to have suitable suggestions. But will share with you what dps family did for his 18th to hopefully give you back the will to live.
DP is VERY reserved. Creative, Sensitive. Can be assertive when necessary on a one to one but more than two people about and he just clams up.
All of his family are in your face types from a rough area of a nearby large city. (I do sometimes wonder if he was found on their doorstep as he is nothing like any of them!) He was the oldest grandchild, for his 18th they planned a huge family outing to an italian restaurant.
The entertainment for his family was watching his torture at the strippagram they booked for him. His uncles held him down and would not even let him go to the loo. The stripper was on the table in front of him bending over etc, you can just imagine. His dad and uncles were egging the stripper on. His own mother and grandmother and aunts screamed with laughter at his reaction.

Poor dp, he felt compelled to tell me about it one night when we were in an italian place that reminded him of that night. He said he still has nightmares about the tassles....

Anyway, maybe if your son is more adventurous, i might have given you and idea

what about a nice piece of art that he can pick

pantone pens

a tag heuer watch or bretlin

apple laptop

these are all things I want

A watch

a watch, nice leather wallet or belt, laptop, mp3 player, sat nav (if he can drive).

iphone?

Flippertyjibbet you have cracked me up!!! My ds sounds very much like your dp....so better not go down that route then!!
What brilliant ideas, i am liking the piece of art, sat nav,watch ideas, and ...what are pantone pens???? Sorry if i am abit dim!
