Hamper for a 13 year old boy - humorous "becoming a teenager" type

gingin_2

My lovely DS is going to be a teenager soon. We are clubbing together with his Grandparents to buy him a bigger present but I wanted to put him together a comical hamper that he can have fun with. He has a wicked sense of humour, I wanted it to be a coming of age type thing but with nice bits as well.

He loves the movies, computers, food, tv, books, magazines. He's not into designer clothes/items, music or phones ( he's a geek lol). I've got him some dvds (I've actually got him 12 from Zoverstocks at a grand total of £15 for the lot) that he likes and a giant lollipop but that's it!

Has anyone got any ideas. I don't mind spending a bit of money, perhaps up to £70 but happy to spend less.

I would be grateful for any ideas

DVD of Kevin by Harry Enfield, from what I remember the tv series was a lot less rude (and a lot funnier) than the film

Does he like any certain games, I'm pretty young myself, well young at heart at least and have a fair knowledge of what 13 year olds are into as my partners little brother is 13. Does he play Xbox/computer, if so what games. Books, there are loads of amazing books around, does he watch an idiot abroad, does he like general knowledge, music, TV, what sort of shows etc? If you give me a bit more info I'll be happy to help and get you as many ideas as possible

He is getting into American TV at the moment, has only got as far as House. He loves stand up comedy, loves Russel Howard. I've him quite a few films - Mission impossible, The Bourne films, a few James Bond. He likes the Hunger Games ( has it already) and Lord of the Rings. He has an Xbox, he likes the Halo type games, I don't let him have anything with an 18 certificate, we also have a Wii and we are clubbing together with his grandparents to get him a DS 3D XL. He likes reading and secretly still likes Lego but only the very big sets that are reflected in the price! He loves general knowledge and facts. He likes food, too, eating and cooking, especially any asian type food. He has no interest in sport at all.

Ha! he turns 13 at 7.50 pm so says he wants to watch Kevin the teenager ( when Kevin turns 13) at that exact moment!
