amylou8772 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 My son is 15 years old. He asked for an Ipod nano and a PSP. I got him both of those. I cant afford to get him a lot more but my 8 year old little girl is gonna wonder why she got stuff from santa and all he got was 2 gifts under the tree. Any ideas on some things I can get my son to set out from Santa that isnt gonna cost an arm and a leg. She is sooo easy to by for I am completely done with her but just cant find anything for him. He said no DVD's or CD's because I dont have good taste in movies or music lol! Thanks in advance for any ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest koby Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Gift cards-Best Buy, Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts,Panera-they don't have to be for a lot of $$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugsette Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 those are great ideas... I would have not even thought of Dunkin Donoughts... he loves that place... thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdoug Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 How about some extra ear buds. My son is constantly losing or breaking his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachluv Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 I agree, giftcards are the best. I get them for my kids(both teenagers) and they love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashemgra Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 get a few $5 gift cards and wrap them in boxes! That is what I would do! Itunes gift cards, EB games gift cards, McDonalds or burger King, what ever he would be likely to use, walmart and target are good too. Put them in shirt boxes and wrap up...at least it would look like he got a few more gifts! What about a month pre-paid of a 'net-flix' type thing that does video games? do they sell t-shirts with his school on it? I know that there are always t-shirts for sale in the school office where my daughter goes for $10... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesy Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 I would vote for the Itunes cards, he will want to fill that nano up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shopping mom Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 A magazine with a years subscription maybe one of the gaming ones, favorite team fleece, belt, wallet, some exercise equipment (my 15 yr old enjoys his chin up bar, and exercise mat) a new ball if he is into basketball or soccer, a new game for some of his older gaming systems.

arrowpolisher Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I agree with the exercise stuff and the sports stuff. Maybe a card of a favorite player. Does he like the outdoors at all( hiking, hunting, etc.), how about binoculars or a telescope. a good knife? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrn8 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Does he like Batman? This is an incredible hardcover Batman book with a lot of bonus original Frank Miller artwork and sketches: Batman:The Dark Knight Strikes Again The Batman: Year One hardcover was great, too, but it looks like they are sold out and the used ones are selling for 5x the original cost.

monsterstressin Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Cd or dvd cleaner or buffer. To take out scratches on his games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decafmom Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 If you already bought him a PSP and an iPod Nano and you're only looking to add to his gifts so it looks as if Santa brought something, why not leave one of those out from Santa? He knows the deal. I would not keep buying just to keep up an appearance. I'm in a similar position - my boys are 18 and 6. Santa leaves one gift for each of them plus their stocking and the rest is wrapped up. I don't spend the same amount on my kids or worry about who gets the most. I get them the things they want (within reason!) and leave it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom_of2boyz Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 What about an accessory for the IPOD or PSP? I needed some little gifts for my younger son and one of the things that I got him was a set of covers for his shuffle. There are (I think). 6 in the set and they were around $16.00 at Walmart. But they have all kinds and some are less expensive.Or like some of the others suggested. a baseball cap, (if he wears hats) or some clearance tshirts from AE, Gap, Aero, etc.Something I always got my oldest son as extra gifts was funky boxers. I stopped when he was about 20 and got together seriously with his girlfriend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy410 Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I vote for the itunes gift card. I have 15 y.o. that loves these cards. With the new ipod he will want new songs to download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubbeegirl Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I agree with the i-tunes card, he will use that up in no time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwcrazy Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I've said it in other places, but I have a 14yr old and 15yr old boy. I had to get some little things as well to make one equal the other box wise. I got things like Axe and Tag gift sets, they were under $10 each and on sale. Krispy Kreme instead of Dunkin Donuts here. I picked up very nice pierre cardin pen sets at Big Lots for $5. Also, itunes cards and extra earphones is a good thing. Also picked up very cheap at WM a car charger and an ac charger for my ds ipod. He has the video one and the other ones were cheaper yet. Maybe a case for the ipod? Just thoughts from another mother who seems to be surrounded by testosterone lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadmom5 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 how about a calender, flannel pants to lounge in, my kids all want gift cards when given the choice.Jamba juice, i-tunes,jack-in- the boz good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheli Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Movie rental cards are a big hit with my teen. Especially since the rental store has video games. Also the lounge pants are a good idea. Alex wanted polar fleece ones this year ...$10 last weekend at Old Navy (mens dept) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kstategrad Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 How about something that he can use to play his iPod at home? Maybe the iPod dock that comes with a small set of speakers? My 15 year old nephew is happy with GCs from Best Buy each year-that way he can pick what he wants. Or what about movie tickets? The Pirates of the Caribbean DVD is a great idea too!

Floridasunshine Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 For big, cheap stuff that might give the appearance of "more" under the tree, how about one of those electronic dart boards? I saw them at target for $10 last week. Or a beanbag chair? One or two 'big' items might make the appearance of 'more'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
