    A few more ideas as I also have a teenage boy that I do a stocking for

    Headphones - they always seem to need these
    DVD or CD (or both) - not necessarily chart I often pick up a cheap one in the supermarkets or HMV
    Pot noodle
    Wallet - some cheap ones here

    Beanie hat
    Joke book - I bought this Tim Vine one last year, it went down well

    Will add more ideas as I plan to start my Xmas shopping soon
  • My DS is a Tinie Tempah fan, so I have pre-ordered his new album, Demonstration, which is due to be released on 4 November.

    Asda also have the Tango shower gels for £1.

    tesco have a lot of their smellies at half price, and they are included in the clucard boost scheme (where you can exchange a £5 clubcard voucher for a £10 token to spend on products from certain departments).

    I've just read rhrough this thread - thank you for the ideas as I've been struggling!

    One idea I had come up with was an emergency mobile phone charger as my boys' phones seem to lose charge quickly at times and it is normally just before school that they notice.

    What sort of headphones do you put in stockings? Son seems to get through them at a rate of knots! He had some last Christmas from my Grandmother that cost around £30 and they haven't lasted.
