Christmas Gift Ideas for Teenage Boys

[playitagainkat]

Hi, everyone!

Do you some suggestions for gifts for teenage boys or young adults? I've poked around for suggestions online, but everything is like, "get a teenage guy cash or a gift card...or alcohol if he's in college."

I'd prefer something to unwrap.

My teenage boy still likes Legos, so that makes it easier. He is also quite geeky, which makes it even easier!

He is getting:
Dr who lego tardis
Portable battery charger for his phone
Sherlock Holmes, season 1
Samsung tablet and cover
books
Lego detective's office
Lap desk
Geek Fuel 6 mo subscription
Japanese snack box subscription
Mission impossible movie set
Steam gift card

Frankly, I could find even more stuff at thinkgeek.com which he would love, but I already went over my budget.

And we're upgrading to his first smart phone.

Other items he asked for or we considered:

Phone accessories
Various concerts

Quirky Retro board games
Colts Fathead

My DS17 has been stressed with school and hasn't had time to really give me any firm suggestions. I started buying some smaller items so far:
Columbia Lodge socks
Star Wars fleece pajama pants
Podium Chill water bottle
2 meter apple charging cable
iTunes card
Playstation Plus card
game informer magazine/game stop rewards renewal
over the door basketball hoop

My ds is 18 and in has just finished his first semester in college so budget is tighter! We have gotten him a few video games at Walmart on Black Friday, 3 movies he wanted at Target on black Friday, a cologne gift set and a car cleaning gift set from Tj Max, jeans and flannel shirt from Khols, ear buds from Best Buy, some North face tees from Dicks and am planning on getting him some Chick fillet gift cards because that's his favorite fast food! Can't wait to hear more ideas cause I would like to get him a few more budget things!

Mine is a bit strange. He wanted a swell waterbottle, gentlemansbox ( a subscription box), ties, a hover board ( which he isn't getting), new bedding set, and a nice journal

 

[~~Darci~~]

My sons gift lists include

-cards against humanity
-exploding kittens
-ear buds
-video games
-new controller
-blue tooth speaker
- compression shirt
- compression pants
-football gloves
- clothes

My 16 year old son is getting:
a lifeproof case
A calendar from shutterfly with pics from the past year's events
a Columbia jacket (fortunately he doesn't care about North Face)
some adidas warm up pants
a couple dress shirts and a tie

He hasn't asked for anything but a phone case. Found a great deal on the lifeproof case so that will be a surprise.

Hi CA Farmer Girl! Thank you for the hint on the Lego Tardis set! They are sold out at Lego and skyrocketing on Amazon, but I got one ordered for pick up at Walmart! I had NO idea Dr. Who had met up with the brick peeps.Thank you!

My geek kid is also getting a
Gravity Falls Hoodie from Etsy
A panda express gc
Pizza slice fleece pajama pants with a Papa Johns' gc wrapped inside
a 7x7 puzzle cube which I scored from B&N last night with a 25% off coupon.
Body spray from Bath & Body Works (which he may despise but I got it for 'free')
Lots of Aromatherapy sleep scent shower gel from Bath & Body Works (which he uses daily!)

Merry shopping Christmas Elfs! I have wrapped up a lot of loose ends this week!

 

[Arkansan]

My 14 yr old DS asked for a Snuggie! My DM couldn't find one in stores and refuses to shop online commissioned a friend to make one and she said it turned out great!

He's also getting Exploding Kittens, body wash/shampoo from Bath and Body Works and a Steam gift card. He already received his big gift. He got a gaming PC as a combination birthday/Christmas gift, so he is aware that Christmas will be small.

You can get Dr. Who Mad Libs on amazon. Might be a fun stocking stuffer. A bow-tie might be a fun stocking stuffer too.

Nike anything especially socks
Underarmour shirts
Vans
Broncos sweatshirt
Logitech or Razer keyboard, mouse and headphones
Gaming mouse mat
Xbox 1 (not happening but he keeps asking)
Nike sunglasses
Chevy seatbelt belt
Xbox live 12 month sub
Axe gift set
Roadbike
Sub to Car and Driver mag
Gc's to Nike, Panda Express, starbucks, Steam

I guess it depends on the guy, but here are some suggestions:

Fleecy/fuzzy lounge pants (always high on DD22's boyfriend's list)
Car stuff- car wash gift certificates, emergency kits or even just a flashlight, windshield scraper, gas station gift card, etc.
Decent gloves- there are some nice ragg wool ones with leather palms on amazon right now
Warm socks for lounging around the house- saw some really nice ones at Dick's last week
If he has his own place, how about a cookbook? Guy's gotta eat!!
Movie night- a couple of passes to a nearby theater, a few theater-sized boxes of candy (dollar store is your best bet here, maybe Walmart, too)

DD22 and I were browsing through Macy's. We came across a stack of different radio-controlled vehicles. She lit up and said "Boy would DBF LOVE one of these!" Mind you, he's almost 23...
