Thought i would buy sy dss's some things to open on boxing day, we give them money for chrismas but i like them to have a couple small things to open, do you think its ok to buy them some deoderant/shower gell (girt pack thing)? They are almost 13 and almost 16? Do 13 year olds use it?

Im not good with boy's, only girls on my side of the family so i am struggling to know what to buy.

Lynx...They all go through the Lynx phase

I believe that Year 9 is when Lynx use peaks (afterwards some boys migrate to less potent brands). How the teachers cope with the windows closed and the central heating on is beyond me.

DS 13 started his Lynx fixation when he started secondary. He will spend ages in Boots deciding which one he wants next

My DS is 10 and he uses lynx so yes that be fine

Mine started to whiff around 10/11 as the hormones kicked in and I bought some suitably macho packaged deoderant. Also they needed me to spell out the fact that they must apply soap under the arms when washing.
A great idea for a stocking filler at Christmas.
