Christmas Appeal - Gift for teenage boy.

Rachel021967

Our local radio station are running an appeal for donating gifts for under
privilege children. I thought that the teenage boy category probably gets overlooked. So I went to buy a gift for a teenage boy up to the value of £20. Does anybody have any ideas?

My 14-year old nephew has asked for the Now77 CD, a beanie hat with peak, and he recently got a velcro-fastening wallet on a long chain which he loves. All of these are well under £20, but you could probably put 2 of these items together to reach £20.

Skater boy jewellry is another option, theres loads of that around.

Hi there, what a nice thing to do.

I have a nearly 15 year old nephew - the obvious ones are anything to do with Playstation - although that won't work in your budget and I guess if the kids are under-priveleged then they probably won't have one of those.

Teenage boys are much more difficult than girls, I can always find things for my niece!

So some of the things I have bought my nephew are - aftershave, a cookery book written by a teenage boy (can't remember the name sorry), sweets, A-team, Karate Kid, Iron Man 2 or DVD, wallet, Amazon voucher always good because they can then choose film, book or something else?

Anyway, hopefully some of these suggestions will be useful!

Good luck

Underware and socks (my guesses are that underprivelaged kids will have holey socks and pants) failing that, footlocker do 2 for £20 on tshirts and there are some lovely ones in there usually nike and adidas that last for ages and teenage boys will LOVE

Thanks goochie and GemJar. Gives me something to think about. Might get a wallet and put some money in it or get a CD. Am open to anymore suggestions.

The mood I'm in today they can have everything I've bought for my teenage son

They all seem to be into those oversized headscarves at the moment, don't know how to describe it, fold it in half then put the point at the front cowboy style but kind of ruched up (sorry, fashion's never been my strong point )

How about a voucher for a haircut? If money's tight they may not be able to afford that swept fringe style that they all have going on at the moment.

football socks and boot bags, hoodie (sports direct do some nice ones for under £20), stateboard or scooter (again sports direct)
primark have some pretty good socks iand trunk style boxers that teenagers would love
lynx gifts sets stink but teenagers love them lol
annuals like simpsons or family guy
t shirts or training tops, or those gola bags(sports direct do them for around £12 each)
