    This will be better posted on the Special Occasions board. They have lots of ideas over there for presents and activities for kids of all ages from 0 to 100.

    MOVING THREADS FOR BETTER RESPONSES


    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].

  • Hi

    You might get a better response if you make it clear what you are after, (that sounded blunt and it wasnt ment to sorry) do you want pressie ideas or birthday party ideas? You could also say what your son is into, i have a son coming up to 16 and he is into gaming and plays the bass guitar, but the thought of him having a party would probably revolt him :eek: being nearly 16 and all :rotfl: .

    It might also help to say what part of the country you are because me being a Yorkshire lass we dont have many activities around where we live and we would have to travel if he wanted to do paintballing for eg. There are lots of companies out there doing this sort of adventure thing if he is into that.

    some ideas:

    Go karting
    Paintballing
    Quad biking
    That thing where you feel like your flying (sorry cant remember what its called)
    Bowling
    Pictures

    Will post back if i think of any thing else
