Gifts for Teenagers (Boy--14-16)

[Anonymous]

I have 3 teenaged sons and it's so hard. My oldest is the easiest to go rouge for, but the younger two are so darn picky and essentially only want clothes - and stuff that I can only find at resellers like GOAT. 75% of my 13 year old's list is rare items that were sold out by the time he made the list or available on GOAT/Stock X only. Every item is so dang expensive. Even Nike is off the rails with their Tech pricing. The grandparents are like, wth?

Websites that play the middle man for resellers. If you purchase an item from a reseller through them, that item is shipped to GOAT/Stock X for authentication, and then shipped to the purchaser if it’s determined to be legitimate. So if Nike has a hot shoe release they can be sold out in minutes on Nike.com but they’ll turn up on these sites - over retail price of course.

Oooh- super fun idea!

Right next to it there is also TopGolf and that new shooting range; these would also be fun gift ideas for a boy.

DS16 hasn't asked for anything other than a North Face backpack.

He wants to go for a snowboarding lesson during the holiday with some of his friends. He's a practical type, and 'm guessing he's considering that part of his Christmas gift since we'll need to get him a ski coat/pants/gloves as well.

So no presents under our tree yet - and no one seems to care.

FYI: there's also 'mystery tackle boxes' which my 14yo DS and his friends love.

I think they have different price points but they all get excited because for 20 dollar mystery box, there might be some super nice/expensive lure in the box.

I'm getting gift cards for food and stores. Because you have to pay for food anyways right?! And probably need to get clothes every few months, so if they like Target, get that. If they like Tifany-that ain't going to happen.
