What are you getting your 15yo son for the holidays?

Anonymous
I'm stumped. He is a bit geeky, not very athletic, very interested in lots of things, an avid reader, dabbles in computers.

What are you getting for your sons?

I was seriously about to post the same-
I've got him a set of canera lenses for the iphone(he likes photography), fleece sheets, a sled (from modells-it looks fast). Also a coat (woo hoo!)
Will get gift cards for food around school ( panera, chipotleetc).
Kind of stumped though.

Doesn't he give you a wish list? My kids give me a list of things they'd like, links, and prices. Of course, I always buy some surprises, but if they didn't give me ideas, I'd be stumped, too.

He says he has everything he wants. This is great, of course - but doesn't help me with gift ideas.

I know he'd love a laptop, but screen-time is a constant battle so I'd rather not go there.

I'd go with a hooker. He'll thank you.

North Face jacket
sweater
running stuff

16 YO. Hard to think of what else to get - he acknowleges that he doesn't need anything. He's not into games, never touches the xbox, has macbook and iphone 5 already.

The .270 Winchester deer rifle he's been wanting along with silver wire for the chain mail jewelry he makes and a puppy to keep him company.

My 15 yo is getting a weight bench, a northface fleece (he hates wearing a jacket), some accessories (headphones, etc) for the computer he got for his birthday, books, and a video game.

He would like his cell phone upgraded, but are waiting for that. He hasn't really asked for anything, but is athletic and likes computers and history.

My friend has a 15 year old step son, and I have a 15 year old nephew. We both got them the same gift, Beatz by Dre Solo HD Headphones.

My son wants a pair of cool sneakers and some headphones.

I'm getting my nephew who sounds similar to your son a tee shirt from threadless:

A car.

Mine has asked for approximately $650 worth of stuff. Trying to winnow that down to a reasonable amount. Probably Madden '13, Halo 4, a pair of Nikes, and some assorted stocking stuff.

If he loves to read, how about a Kindle Fire? A phone: Samsung Galaxy or iPhone.

Cash always works good for teens too. Do different gift cards to places he likes to add up to your total.
