| My DS is about this age. What's the ballpark cost for a gaming computer (or components - one HS friend assembled his own)? |

Air pods
Power bank for phone/lap top Portable speaker Tickets to baseball/football/etc. game, maybe even a road trip to attend the game The problem with the gaming system is, they then use it. A lot. |

| Mine just keeps asking over and over again for a super expensive gaming computer, gaming chair, etc. It's so depressing -- I remember when they were kids and it was so fun to shop for them! Now I just feel like the Grinch saying "You're not getting that." |

| We got our 14yo a heated blanket last year. DH looked at me liKE WTF? But our DC was ecstatic and DH was completely floored. It was his favorite gift! 🤷♀️ |

Lol. My 12 year old needs a couch blanket at all times. Outside of winter months, I’m very against them on anti-clutter principles. But a solid 80% of nights in my house, he and DH are watching Netflix with either shared or separate blankets wrapped around them. Probably a pretty healthy way to relax, as much as it cracks me up. I don’t really understand the appeal of TV. |

| He wanted art supplies. We got him a $500 gift card to an art supply store. He goes every month. The staff introduce him to something new and he’s thrilled to try it. |

Since that age, my DS has usually wanted a guitar, an amp, a long board or snowboarding equipment (along with things like hoodies and sneakers)
He built a gaming computer for his 14th birthday, but didn't use it a lot after 9th grade. |

Same. And unfortunately as well. The other unexpected thing he really liked but didn’t ask for was a weighted blanket for his bed. He’s still using it two years later and loves it. |
