Any Suggestions on What to get a Teenager for Christmas???

[kooky panda]

Need help please!!
I only have a few more gifts to get, stumped on Nephew. He is 15 and I always get him video games for Christmas. I would like to do something different this year.

Any suggestions???

Maybe socks???? lol

[ilovecooper14]

Money!!! Lol money never fails ;D

[Yarox]

no socks is my advice lol.
Maybe a nice perfume or a cool DVD/Blu-ray.

Also if he plays TL games, GEMS/CC would be the best gift :D

[kooky panda]

yeah money and itunes cards is my back-up plan... lol

[nmishii]

Cash.

On Thanksgiving I asked my nieces and nephew, slightly older, what they wanted and they all wanted cash.

[pinkster73]

Gift cards. And socks and underwear.

[kooky panda]

Gift cards. And socks and underwear.

He would say " AWWW man how embarrassing"" if I gave him some underdrawers...lol

[pinkster73]

That's why you do it ha ha

[kooky panda]

That's why you do it ha ha
only if his girlfriend is there. Give him underware and bring out the naked baby pictures of him!!

[bawpotter]

Definitely cash, it's what everybody wants these days. It will help him save up for a car.

[pinkster73]

I'm stumped on my 13 year old. 14 in 2 months. Everything they like is so expensive at this age

[greygull]

Pre-teens and teens - biggest pains to shop for!

@kooky - does he have any particular games he likes more? Maybe try finding (or making) something that has to do with those. Shhh - I'm making the Perk-A-Colas from the Call of Duty Zombie games, to give to hubby, son, and 10 friends. Halo fans - there's MegaBlocks packs to build things from the games.

@pinkster - female or male?

[kooky panda]

Shopping Drives me Crazy!!!!!!!! http://th1037.photobucket.com/albums/a454/redwine-n-strawberries/Holidays%20-%20Misc/Christmas%20Time/Ur%20A%20Mean%201%20Mr%20Grinch/th_GrinchScary.gif (http://media.photobucket.com/image/animated%20grinch/redwine-n-strawberries/Holidays%20-%20Misc/Christmas%20Time/Ur%20A%20Mean%201%20Mr%20Grinch/GrinchScary.gif?o=18)

[kooky panda]

For my nieces I got them a makeup case with make-up http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?skuId=2234619&productId=xlsImpprod3950251&navAction=push&navCount=1

from Ulta. Also manicure sets.

[farmer1600]

Maybe a visa or mastercard gift card? Cash is too easy to blow but a giftcard requires a bit more thought.

I'm giving my 19yr old nephew a restaurant and movie night out gift cards.

[pinkster73]

Greygull- he's my little man

[aiyayu]

My older brother and cousins got money hidden in a packet of socks n underware a few years ago lol

[pinkster73]

That's funny. They give the "oh great socks and underwear just what I've always wanted" face then SURPRISE! Money!

[greygull]

Let me guess - iPhone? Or Xbox? My son tried asking for an iPhone - I told him sure, I'll buy the phone, he pays the monthly bill. He changed his mind fast. Is he into any books? Or find something in the cheaper area that comes close - sometimes that still makes them happy :)

Close ha ha. Ps3. I got him that going halfers with grandma. My daughter who's 12 wants the iPhone. Not this year. She's 12! She can survive with her ipod for now. I miss the days of $20 barbies or my little ponies or hot wheels.

Actually no I don't. I almost got divorced trying to assemble a barbie dream camper or whatever it was one year. (Not for real but close :))

[expressW]

Would it be inappropriate to buy him a penthouse magazine subscription...? :p

I actually still have this cut out of the newspaper on my fridge - it was one of the best ones ever!

He has an ipod tee hee.

[expressW]

Hmm..... But ipod screens are so small..... Wouldn't a proper A4 sized magazine be more..... Satisfying???
:p

People still buy magazines? Ha ha

[mtytomlinson]

Wow all of you are pretty generous on gifts xD hmm, have you ever tried asking him what he wants? If there's really no other gifts, I suggest food xD Hahaha, everyone loves food! :) no clue on how to wrap them though... lmao

[starcross]

I have a 16-year-old daughter and all she wants is xbox live games (at first) then she said gift cards. All teens are mall rats by design, so mall gift cards for the two closest malls are what she's getting (and a lump of coal in her stocking for a bedroom that looks like a war zone).

[pinkster73]

I have asked. He says "I don't know". How helpful. Hmm he does love food. I can't believe how much an almost 14 year old boy eats and he's so skinny. It's amazing and I'm jealous.

[criizz]

Maybe a nice watch? If he's interested in that type of stuff...I guess it depends on how old he is.
Or does he have a favorite hockey/football/baseball team? A jersey would be really nice :D
Another suggestion is a "fitted" cap of his favorite team or something, but then again it depends on if that's what he's into.

Or cash! ;)

I miss those old days too lol
U know my five-year-old step daughter me and my husband ask her what she wants for her birthday
She asked for an iPad! I mean really! I was like O.O I'm 25 and don't have one! Lool then my husband bought me and her an iPad lol I really loved her more cuz she was the reason I have an iPad now lol

And pinkster how about a cool headphone? I see teenagers using those cool headphones now like beats By dr dre

http://www.orviser.com/images/monster/231.jpg

Or something like this is much cheaper

Omg yes haha I'll never get how ppl eat so much but never gets fat. How bout buying him a skateboard or a guitar or something?

[mtytomlinson]

Headphones is good too! Like what pinkberry22 said.

[pinkster73]

He's not into guitars or skateboards, the headphones are a great idea though. How about for a 12 year old girl who's 12 going on 30? I'm thinking gift cards for clothes, because I can't pick the cool clothes

[pinkberry22]

I think it's nice since girls at this age all about how too look good! Lol
Maybe Curling idea and make sure they have gloves with it so she don't burn her hands

http://media.dermstore.com/catalog/500775/300x300/16490.jpg

Maybe lip glosses set there are some make up for little girls it's cute and nice

Maybe sunglasses, accessories, a bag

Or there is cute lucky charms I think it called cherish? U chose a bracelet then u chose what charms u like

Like this

http://www.allcharms.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/charm-bracelet-1.jpg

Maybe some of the charms represent things she likes

[pinkster73]

Ooooh that charm bracelet is a great idea. Gives me gifts to buy for next Christmas and birthdays etc.

[pinkberry22]

I'm happy to help :3 if u need any more ideas I'm here =D

Lol, it would be funny to put it in a huge box, and then he/she takes like 1 hour to open it, but all he/she sees is monaaaay, which is kinda small. Or put a box in a box in box, etc and then JACKPOT! Monaay.

[pinkster73]

Put it in socks and underwear

[shakiba]

Put it in socks and underwear

Lol..YES! Good thinking, its even..he/she and kooky can both be happy!

[kooky panda]

I could always put it in a girlie purse!!!

[shakiba]

I could always put it in a girlie purse!!!

YEs.. stuffed with socks and underwear, just like what pinkster73 had said.

[kooky panda]

maybe a little lipstick and perfume to really throw him off the scent!!! lol

[shakiba]

maybe a little lipstick and perfume to really throw him off the scent!!! lol

BONUS! dont forget some nail polish.. amybe pink? :P

[greygull]

Do you have an empty box of perfume? Or other girly items (take your pick - we have lots) - empty box of any of those, then have the camera ready when he unwraps it!

[pinkster73]

[ilovecooper14]

[snip]

Sheesh. I would LOVE to see his face if he opened a present to see this.. :p :D ;) :rolleyes:

[shakiba]

ewww, DIG INSIDE? ahahaha XD!
Lol, its funny how no guys are replying, or writing anything at the moment :P

[pinkster73]

I think I'm going to take my own suggestion and hide something for my son in that box tee hee

[Rachael98]

Anyone else giggling?

Anyway, I'd actually say something that they really like?
For instance, someone I know really likes supercars. So, he got an afternoon in a Ferrari on the local racetrack.
I'm not sure if you can get packages like that across the Pond, but over here they're quite popular gifts:).
