£5 gifts for teenage boys.

Luiem

I'm struggling on a token gift to get for an almost 14 and a 16 year old boy. My budget is £5 each and I want something non edible, as I already have chocolates for the whole family.

They both have birthdays near Christmas and will be getting gift vouchers for them, so I would prefer to get them a physical gift.

They are both more into electronics and gaming than sports. In the past they have received computer games, model kits and HMV vouchers but our budget is a little tighter this year.
Any ideas?

Boots have a few different puzzle gifts, I got my nephews the skull puzzle and I think it's 4 metal puzzles in a box (sorry can't remember exact name) they are £8 each but on 3 for 2.

Do you know which games consoles they are into? Maybe you could get some accessories for them, e.g. extra DS pens or a cover.

Boys that age tend to be into Lynx - fortunately Superdrug have their Lynx gift sets on offer for £3 at the moment

It could be accompanied by a large bar of chocolate

yep - Lynx set from Superdrug - apparently the Apollo one is very nice (i overheard a couple of women discussing this when I was buying one for my nephew yesterday ).

My first thought was that you can get some nice pens for <=£5. However, maybe that's hopelessly old-fashioned. What about those gloves that have clever stuff on the finger-tips so that people can keep their hands warm AND still do things to their 'phones or tablet things?

I've recently bought my son a couple of items from Primark, a light that wraps round cable and a mini usb fan. They were around the £5 price.

I saw some tin mugs with cartoon characters in Sainsburys & wondered, but got told socks & memory sticks were preferred.
Depending on How Many Chaps, I'd look hard at 7dayshop.com's memory stick selection.

Do you know what games they are playing? Some games requiere memberships, or have extra levels for payed members. You could get those. Mine are into Club Penguin and now there is a deal (today is last day) - buy 1 1mnth membership, get one free.
