    Have you checked out Firebox.com? They do lots of gadgety type things that he might like and there's a £5 code floating about somewhere too

    My boys are 16 now, in the past I have bought them vouchers for go karting, either with family or friends, their choice. They love it! I always buy all three kids a cheap wee remote control thing, they race each other around the house! This year the 16 year olds have tv's, gig tickets (!!!!!cat Dolls), rc Stig's (from Top Gear), sweets, bits and bobs from Hawkins Bazzar - that shop's always good for funny stocking fillers. Good luck, not much time left!
  • It must be a boy thing, this i don't want nothing!
    i've had the same trouble with my son. my supprise preasents this year include, 2 red letter day experiences 1 orbing and 1 driving, and i have had sky multi-room installed (disconnected the box and he still hasn't found the wire ) hth.
  • I am the same!
    I have just turned 16,so I may be able to give a bit of help.
    Maybe.
    I wanted money since I was 13 or so,and I find that is what I prefer.
    My mum still insists on me having presents...:o
    Usually I get the money,and then 1-2 random things,totally picked out of the blue,which is kind of cool.So yeah.
    I never like vouchers,I just find that it limits you to a store,whereas cash doesn't and cash is hell of lot more secure now,considering Woolworths.They are saying that more high street stores will dissapear in January apparently...
