Need gift ideas for a 17 year old boy

[disykat]

My son will have several ceremonies to attend such as senior awards night etc. We'll attend and probably do dinner out for some of them. I don't think the fact that it's a ceremony makes it a gift occasion. Personally, if it's just another senior thing I'd skip it and wait for graduation.

I'm surprised they have enough people getting rings to warrant a ceremony.

My nephew has his ring ceremony this weekend where the kids are given their class rings. However, he doesn't want a ring. I don't understand this, but oh well! I want to get him something nice to celebrate the occasion. His birthday was last week so it should be a bigger gift or a couple little gifts to cover both celebrations. I want to get him something significant, not just something he wants at this moment. I feel the whole ring ceremony concept merits something more meaningful than the typical gift. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated!

Never heard of it, I got mine at lunch time

I wounder if the ceremony is organized by the ring company? Sounds like a good way to pressure parents into buying a ring that they really do not want. My son choose not to get a ring. Most 17 year old boys are not sentimental and those memos that girls want to keeps just are not as important to most of them. They like money, gift cards etc.
