Birthday present for 14 year old boy?

DS will be 14 in April. We don't spoil him (I don't think!). He gets £20 per month pocket money and spends most of his time hanging out with friends or on his PS4. No real hobbies (what I would call hobbies) sadly. Asked him what he wanted for his birthday and he says he has everything he needs. I don't want to get him something for the sake of it - he had some clothes at Christmas - but we have to get him something. (I will get him a couple of books he won't read...)
His older sisters want some ideas too. Thanks

My son has been the same since that age, it's Xbox live vouchers for him or cash.

Some 'cool' trainers?
Gaming t-shirts/ wall art?
Customize stickers for PS4?

I offered mine to open an account for starting to save for his first car (other bigger spend) at that age. Any family members etc who don't know what to give for next birthdays/xmases, can just make a contribution towards that.

Bought my ds13 a gaming chair, hoodie, some cash towards a new phone. He got headphones off an aunt. I took day off and we went sledging, shopping and a meal. I also made afternoon tea with homemade cakes etc
