This thread is a perfect example of how every kid is different.
Some of the things mentioned, my 14 y/o would never want, other things, he would.
The $5 increments of Fast Food = Yes.
The GameStop = No. (GameStop annoys both of us)
The iPod Docking Station = No (He spent $200 something dollars over his birthday for computer speakers)
The Movie Passes = Maybe. 2 years ago, yes - not so much now.
He likes DVD's. He actually want's seasons of Seinfeld, South Park or Always Sunny.
My older son at 14 would have liked any DVD. You should see his collection - Old Movies (Say Anything, Red Dawn) to new movies.
My now 14 y/o also wants some program for his computer that he can make "beats" on. He wants to rap.
Both the boys have always adored pajama bottoms. They get some every year. The wackier - the better...Mario, Ninja Turtles, South Park, The Wii logo....heck, my older son has one's that say "It's just a flesh wound"

- all found at Kohl's. Both my boys are those one's there have been DIS threads about.... the one's regarding wearing pajama bottoms as pants.
And MC or VISA giftcards, or cold hard cash is always a good thing.
