It's a bit like goth, only less serious and not so much heavy metal lol.
For the sporty ones, how about a pair of trainers from TK Maxx? Or a nice polo shirt, a pedometer, that kind of thing.0 -

I don't really know what they are into or what they have already hence the thread! I think that the younger one's are sporty, anyway we did some shopping last week......
I went for perfume for the 15 year old girl and aftershave for 21 year old nephew, DD advised on which ones (she has more idea than me on what's hot) 19 YO Niece is good friends with my DD so she rang to get some ideas, she likes branded make up so we got her some face powder and mascara and some socks to make up the difference. I got a maglight for 11YO nephew, they have always gone down well with the older ones on previous occasions. 14YO wants a PS2 game which I can get next week. Still got 13 YO niece to sort out
might go for a game for her too.
Thanks for all your input guys much appreciated.:A

What I did one year was to buy a basket with handles on (bathroom section) in Wilkinsons for about £1 and I filled it with lots of little bits: face pack, nail varnish etc. Don't forget to line the basket with some sparkly tissue. You'll be amazed at items you can find for UNDER a quid to fill it up with! Boys are a bum to buy for, though!! Savers and Superdrug sell miniature perfumes/aftershaves too."When you want something said, ask a man.

For teenager, especially boys (who I find the most difficult) I buy:
Depending on budget I get: Cinema Vouchers - Macdonald/Pizza Hut Vouchers
Mobile phone top up voucher (Checking their network first!) Or HMV or Virgin Voucher Card.
Can be made into mini hamper with perhaps popcorn/pringles/nachos and juice.
All of these can be used by any teenager and DO NOT clutter up cupboards for months to come.
They are always skint and really appreciate having somewhere to go and credit on their phone to arrange itYou can't please everyone.
Just believe in yourself and do what you think is right0
