    there are still 6 weeks until xmas, chances are he will think of something before the big day. ask him to have a think about it.

    you don't want to buy something then have him announce he has decide what he wants in 3 or 4 weeks !

    Some nice headphones, if he is into music. They've got all sorts of different coloured ones around now.

    mine is 17 and i still get the 'i dunno'

    so we agree that i can get the smellies, socks, pj's etc, but i do go to firebox to look for gadgets, they have a gadget box... http://www.firebox.com/product/5582/Mystery-Boxes?via=top10&cat=

    but loads of ideas there that might be an interest?

    Game for a console? Or does he have a digital camera?
  • didnt want to get games or dvd's. he doesnt have a camera of his own, and although i think he would like one, i think it would be a novelty.
    kindle?? he likes books but not sure he likes them enough. i would probably pinch it off him.
    ami being a bit picky ha ha.
