I need to try and think of 13 little birthday gifts for a boy, starting with the letter K, suitable for a teenager

Absolutely stumped, any ideas please? Smile

Personalised ketchup- see the Heinz website

Or maybe just get 1 gift? If it's really hard you'll end up getting silly things. But in case you want to go ahead get a book, a gumball machine, an ice-cream shop voucher for £5, a fleece blanket with whatever he's into on it, a t-shirt, cool pen, etc.

Peanutmnm · 01/11/2021 07:55

Oh do all the gifts need to start with k? That will lead to just rubbish! Too hard.

MerylSqueak · 01/11/2021 07:56

Klean kanteen?

LutherRalph1 · 01/11/2021 07:58

Kite
Knitted something
Kaleidoscope
Key ring

Mynameismargot · 01/11/2021 07:59

Don't buy 13 gifts beginning with k for the sake of buying 13 gifts beginning with k. Use the money that you would spend on those 13 gifts and buy one really thoughtful gift.
Over consumerism is a really dated concept.

Novelty kitkat

None of which begin with K 😂

Koosh ball?

MrsEricBana · 01/11/2021 08:08

13 kittens (helpful)

HelloDulling · 01/11/2021 08:09

Krispy Kreme gift card.

LindaEllen · 01/11/2021 08:10

@MrsEricBana

13 kittens (helpful)
If I was the recipient, I would love this!

OP, honestly, a 13yo boy won't appreciate it enough to make it worth the effort. Get him a couple of nice gifts that he would actually enjoy.

If you got him 13 things beginning with K he wouldn't notice. You'd have to point it out.

HeronLanyon · 01/11/2021 08:11

6lb (13 kg) kettlebells if he’s into exercise.

User00000000 · 01/11/2021 08:11

There's probably a few snacks/sweets beginning with k.

KitKat, kola kubes, kinder egg, Krispy Kreme doughnut

LubaLuca · 01/11/2021 08:11

Kipper
Knickers
Kilt
Kermit

Perhaps just get him a JD voucher.

whatswithtodaytoday · 01/11/2021 08:12

Please don't just buy him tat because it starts with K. Get him something he'll actually use and enjoy.

TenThousandSpoons · 01/11/2021 08:12

Using previous ideas but I’d go for:
12 Krispy Kreme donuts and one kitten.

Pumpkinsonparade · 01/11/2021 08:13

Kart
Kraft cheese slices!!

TenThousandSpoons · 01/11/2021 08:18

I’m interested in whether his name starts with K and you get him lots of K gifts every year or if you change the letter each year? 12 J gifts last year and and when he’s 19 he’ll get 19 Q gifts?

HeronLanyon · 01/11/2021 08:20

Or would the box be enough for the k theme filled with small things he wants ?

Can you help me with the impossible please?
