Big (in size, not value!) xmas present for 13 yr old DS

Any ideas please? I'm stuck! His present pile looks a bit sad next to his younger sibling's one as the age gap means he wants all 'small' things (computer games, vouchers, etc). So I want to bulk it up with one or two big boxes to make it look more even, but I can't think of anything. Thanks if you can help!

Just package them in a big box.

Hi I to have the same problem , you can spend a bit but it doesn' t look alot. I have brought camping equitment for DS it was 34.99 in Argos that is in a fairly big box, quite good value, thats if he goes camping!!
Other than that as LynetteScavo says put them in bigger boxes.

...we have the opposite problem, as we're heading off to relatives for Christmas and need to think of teeny things we can fit in the car!

Now that is a great idea Maryz, and one I might have to borrow
