teen gifts

[namasteak]

There are 3 siblings across the street that are basically like my nieces & nephew. They babysit my kids and I love their mom like a sister. I know the girls want some Lululemon scrunchies for Christmas (LOL) so I am going to use my pro discount and get them a couple to go with a small gift card. 

Is there anything in the $15 range for a 15 year old boy that loves computers and videos games that I could get to go with his small gift card? I know I could just give him a bigger gift card but it feels weird if I'm not doing that for his sisters.

Do you know what video games he plays? My son would like a sticker from his fav video games to stick on a notebook, computer, water bottle, etc.

Candy or some other kind of junk food would also be appreciated by most 15 year old boys.

What about a funny t shirt? Amazon has everything under the sun for 15-20$. If he likes nerdy computer stuff there are tons of hilarious ones like "have you tried turning it off and back on again".

Maybe a food item? Homegoods has nice boxes of chocolates, but even a bag of doritos goes a long way with the 15 year old set. My daughter is 14, but a several of her good friends are 15 year old boys. They love food. Seriously, I make chocolate chip banana bread for them sometimes, and you would think I hung the moon.

Are his games on XBox? My 14 year old and his friends sometimes save “cool stuff they do” on XBox using a USB drive.

Also very popular with 14 year old boys are portable chargers for their phone that they can keep in their backpack.

Also, lots of DS’ friends like the beanies with a built in Bluetooth speaker so they can listen to music in their beanie. They have those on Amazon for under $20.

And DS got a wallet like this last Christmas from my parents and loves it because it holds his ID, debit card and some cash but isn’t at all bulky. He has a Columbia one but I can’t find it online. Here’s a JCrew version factory.jcrew.com/p/mens-clothing/wallets/wallets/leather-money-clip/AH600?color_name=tan&noPopUp=true&srccode=Paid_Search%7CSmart_Shopping%7CGoogle%7CSS_ACQ_MPROD_ACCSRIESXXXXX_EVG_ROAS_XXX_COUSA_EN_EN_A_FACT_GO_SH_SSC_XXXXXXXXXX,shop_maccsries_x_xxx,PRODUCT_GROUP,71700000074775333,58700006443835430,p58214506976&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=Paid_Search&utm_campaign=SS_ACQ_MPROD_ACCSRIESXXXXX_EVG_ROAS_XXX_COUSA_EN_EN_A_FACT_GO_SH_SSC_XXXXXXXXXX,shop_maccsries_x_xxx&utm_content=Shopping&NoPopUp=True&gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=Cj0KCQiAwMP9BRCzARIsAPWTJ_GsUZ4mhRdSBSXLPVh3pWy3s6Suc_kJjEKwk5KFZFkOGB_ezSF7pN0aAgdbEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Like these Anker ones www.anker.com/products/107/power-banks

[tripleshot]

I agree with a power bank or hot Cheetos and sour patch kids.my 15 year old boy would love that. Or an led light strip.

I’m doing amazon gift cards but since I got the girls the Lululemon scrunches they asked for (I get a pro discount there) I wanted to get something tangible to go with their brothers gift card as well.

A face mask or two of his favorite video games. His favorite snacks or candy.

Anker stuff is apparently the "cool brand" for tech stuff so that might point you in a direction.

Very helpful! I know how brands really matter to middle school and high school kids.

[ellipses84]

Tech accessories, water bottle or water bottle/laptop stickers, funko pops, pins, t-shirts, beanie or baseball hat, axe or similar grooming product/ kit.

It helps if you know what he’s into, ie a Band, a character, a sports team, etc.
