    Wish I could help. I have got 2 who are nearly 14 and 16 and they havent a clue what they want! The one thing I do know is that they will get the smellies sets, clothes etc from other relatives and its a complete waste of money. If I come up with any suggestions I will let you know.

    Back to work today after 2 days off poorly. Still not 100% so will take it easy when I finish this afternoon. I havent managed anything off the list and the house could do with a general dust and hoover.

    Morning all

    No idea what to get my boys 12,18 and 20 either.

    Mogs fed, DW emptied, off for a shower as a whole morning of paid stuff, see you at lunchtime.

    It sounds boring but for the last couple of years we have mostly given our boys money to put towards music/games etc They get something small such as chocolate as well, but they don't seem to want anything else. Sometimes mugs/books related to things they are interested in go down well.

    My boys are 13,17 and 19 years old.

    My 17 year old wants FIFA 15 and a book about alien and my 12 year old would like most of the Arg-s catelogue back section apart from the pink pages.

    I need to up my game today so will be doing HHCs for most of the day unless I'm rescued by anyone.

    My house still smells of onions...


    Pigpen I would suggest money too, for the jan sales. Have they got decent headphones to keep all that gaming noise to themselves? X

    Really ought to go get dressed...
