    thanx for the ideas so far - hadn't thought of a magazine - something like NUTS probably good idea - maybe i could do the free issues on freebies or is that cheating?
    Who said anything about not cheating? Go for the freebies!
    Savvy - WHS do a calendar with a sheet for each day with a quote on it for 4.99 - depends how old the oldest is as they may be a bit serious sometimes
    Thanks, I'll go and take a look. He really prefers a brainteaser (so why won't he ever solve Martin's for me?) but may have to live with something else. They are cheaper on Amazon too but couldn't find any brainteasers.

    Possibly, but would you really want your mother to choose it for you?

    Here's some more possibly boring but useful ideas:

    a small (and manly) manicure set. (When they are taller than me they'd better learn to cut their own nails!)

    A multigadget penknife

    Also next summer for his 18th birthday my eldest is likely to get

    a small sewing kit and

    a small screwdriver with different blades or whatever you call the business end of a screwdriver

    Both of which will be indispensible when he (hopefully) heads off to Uni!

    Blank CD's which might come in useful for doing copies of all the music he might get for xmas (for his own use of course! :o)

    Packets of chewing gum

    Phone credit vouchers

    Hair Gel
    Do not allow the risk of failure to stop you trying!

    Yep - the 'respectable' lads mags, condoms, keyring for Jaguar - or whatever make of car he likes - from main dealers, accessory range.... & a couple of lottery scratch cards - but say you want 1/2 of everything over £1,000,000!!
