Hi all
Hoping for some help please. We are struggling to find a nice xmas pressie for our youngest son. DH says "no more computer/games stuff". Apart from the x box and playing footie, thats all he has in his life! He has all the kit he could want and I've hit a blank wall now for ideas. Any ideas appreciated - looking to spend around £80.
Thanks

    Does he have an ipod - if so vouchers for that, what about clothes, aftershave, trainers, CD's,

    I don't envy you at all boys are difficult from the age of 9 onwards I think, good luck with what you decide and I am sure he will love whatever you buy him.

    How about a few knick knacks to open
    smellies
    socks
    chocolate
    maybe a book
    dvd

    And then put the rest into a voucher for his favourite clothing shop...my son likes animal so we get him a voucher that he can use in the sales and his money goes further then
    frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!

    2017 toiletries challenge 179 out 145 in ...£18.64 spend

    how about 80 quid... do you think he can make his own mind up? or will just waste it on drink and women.

    hell at 15, drink and women is what you need :)
