Adolescent/teenage boys stocking.

kingfisherblue

Keyring torchlight (can get pack of two from poundshop)

Mini spinner - I have yet to find a male of any age who doesn't play with one when they are given it.

Shower gel - Morrisons were selling Lynx for 97p a couple of weeks ago

Chocolate covered spoon (about £1.99 from Morrisons)

Ear plug type headphones

Memory stick

Is there anything from this site: http://www.sciencesleuth.co.uk/epages/BT2824.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/BT2824/Categories/%22Toys%20for%2012%20years%20%2B%22

What about

- Lynx (or equivalent that he prefers)
- Novelty socks (pound shop have santa, snowman etc)
- Dvd
- Choclate coins (Never to old for chocolate)
- Ear phones for Ipod/MP3 player
- Mobile phone case (can be picked up cheaply on ebay)

Thanks for the ideas so far. Wish I'd known about the lynx shower gel, from Morrisons. I found some today for £1 in Wilkos but only after I'd paid £1.49 in Savers.:mad:

I forgot to say I also have some lip balm for him. See my above comments for how he travels to school unprotected from the elements. Normally I'd think he'd consider it too girly but this is the Bodyshop's hemp one.

He also likes bonfires and I know I saw some sachets that change the colour of the flames, but I can't remember where I saw them.

He likes zombies too but I am stuck on ideas connected for that one.:rotfl:

You could make the sachets to change flame colours yourself - many of the chemicals that do it are quite commonly available household stuff

epsom salt (magnesium sulphate) turns flames white
borax turns flames light green
Copper sulphate (found in tree root killer at plumbing supply places or in kids' science kits) turns flames a darker green
Potasium chloride (water softener salts) turns flames purple

you can just toss a bit of one of the above onto the fire to get a flash of colour or you can make up wax discs with the chemical in and then put them in the fire for a longer lasting effect (just put some of the chemical - about a quarter inch deep - into a little disposable cup/fairy cake liner then pour over some melted candle wax and stir it up with a cocktail stick so the chemical is covered in the wax then leave them to set). When you put the disc into the fire the chemical is slowly released from the wax and gives off the coloured effect over a longer period - you could put a few different colours at different spots in the fire too. Obviously all these things should only be used after any cooking over the fire has finished.

Maybe you could make him up a kit with the above ingredients/tools to make his own discs?

Also, a bit of plain flour tossed on a fire will give a flash flame, a bit of powdered coffee whitener will make sparkly flashes and iron filings will make gold sparks

He likes science. We've done all the science related kits I can think of before though. He likes playing minecraft. His main present(s) are sorted both from us and other relatives that buy. This is just ideas for his stocking.

There are loads of Minecraft guide books on Amazon. I've ordered these for a 12 yo:
