stocking fillers for a teenage boy, any ideas please?

IWannabedebtfree

Hiya, searched for previous threads on this and ages trawling the shops, but eveerything seems fairly girl orientated.My son is 16 and into outdoor stuff with Scouts, laptop, Ps3. I know I can't be too fussy, but I'd like to be able to buy fairly useful stuff and not end up with a pile of stocking filler junk that's too young for him and that will be binned by New Year. Thanks for any help, much appreciated.,

On the special occasions board on hampers thread pics only one I think someone has done a hamper for a 16 yr old boy I picked up a few ideas from that.

You can get lots of little gadgety things from the poundshop/99p store.
mini binoculars, memory card reader, mini laptop vacuum, IPOD/MP3 speakers, earphones, scanner radio, USB hub, hip flask (Doesn't have to contain alcohol), wind-up multi mobile phone charger, torch keyring.

They are just some of the things I have managed to pick-up this week for my 2 teens

What about hair gel, body spray those sort of things?

There are some good binoculars in Lidls for just under 13 pounds. I know it's more than stocking filler prices but might be appreciated. Cinema tokens? And to go with the driving lesson theme a copy of the highway code and a 'corgi' type car of the model he would like to save up for.

Socks, smellies (grown-up ones ), choccy money, penknife, small puzzles from Home Bargains, orange, apple, £2 coin (inflation!), small notebook or diary, wind-up torch, USB memory stick....

Just another thought! Lots of DVD's on offer at the moment, and CD's. Maybe a tshirt with his favorite band on the front. I have 4 boys all grown up now and they had a Beano or Dandy annual till they were well in their teens. I brought one as a joke after christmas last year for a pound and the youngest grabbed it and said he used to love them and read it all the way through. Chocolate always goes down well (lol) for boys I find quantity comes before quality (other way round for girls!!).
