Help! need present for super-cool 15 year old boy

I have to buy a christmas present for the son of the guy Im seeing. I've met him a couple of times but hes not very talkative (the son, not his Dad)

I asked his Dad and he said a particular Star Wars T shirt, but when I went to get it they had sold out and I cant get it anywhere o n the internet.

The boy is super cool, I wouldnt dare try and choose clothes for him..he has everything he seems to need, I havent a clue about xbox or games or anything. He plays in a band, but i wouldnt attempt to get him anything music related as im not 100% sure what he likes or what he has already got CD wise...most young uns just download music anyway?

If I asked his dad he would probably say dont bother worrying about it, but of course I do want to get him a nice pressie. I know what teenage girls like but havent a clue about boys.

Any ideas??? Please??!! Id rather not get him a token or money.

  • Depends how much you want to spend, but anything that makes someone that age feel more grown up is probably going to go down well. But first know that now these days boys and girls are not all that different in what they like.

    Good quality EDT if he still tends to wear body spray is probably a shout.

    Or some some expensive hair styling products.

    A designer belt or wallet are likely to go down well.
  • So I just saw this on HDUK

    Again depends how much you want to spend, but paired with this (which I actually really like). I think would be pretty good gift for a young guy.

  • Hmmm I hadnt thought about toiletries/ products.

    His dad uses Aldi's aftershave haha (which actually smells nice)

    I think he "borrows" his Dads. So he might be pleased with more "branded" stuff.

    Thanks for the suggestions so far...., Im going shopping tomorrow evening for last minute stuff if I cant get it online.
  • iTunes voucher

    Headphones (he'll already have some, but I doubt if he'll object to more)

    Leather wallet (plain)

    Quadcopter

    Cinema voucher

    Sweets and chocolate (I've never met a lad who doesn't enjoy them!)

    Multi tool

    Calendar (favourite band, football team, etc, or humorous one - my 16 year old is getting Mrs Brown's Boys calendar)

    Decent black Tshirt

    I'd go back to his Dad, tell him the T-shirt isn't available and ask what else can he suggest.

    I'd want to get it right - both for the lad and his Dad. ;)

    My 15 year old son would like the following types of things:

    Calvin Klein boxers

    iTunes voucher

    Microsoft points voucher

    Hugo Boss or Tommy Hilfiger aftershave

    Shaving kit with a fancy razor and some shaving gel

    Jack Wills products

    He is quite fussy with sweets, and will only eat toffee crisp or turkish delight, so I would be careful with this option if going with it. He is more a savoury person than a sweet toothed one. The lad you are looking to buy for may be the same.

    Likewise, my DS and his mates would not dream of using hair styling products, although they are all quite vain about their hair.

  • Super cool - in what way?

    You say he is in a band, what does he play in the band, what instrument

    I think most 15 year olds think they are super cool ...
