| Anyone? Doesn't need clothes, sports equipment, games, or the usual gifts from years past. Has a relatively nice newish bike and will be driving soon. Please help! |

Our 16 year old is getting:
Wireless phone charger (dont know how, but he always breaks the chargers at the port) New ear buds (multiples, from 5 below - no point in getting him the good ones, he loses them or runs them through laundry. All the time) New sports bag Books MoCoSnow sweatshirt (didn't realize how much this was a thing until last weeks' snow storm) Tickets for he and some friends to attend Washington Capitals game |
NP (I’m the poster looking for history book recs for her sons) - great list, I’m using some of these ideas. |
This is a really good list, thank you! |
^^ Not OP. This is OP, and thank you so much, and keep the ideas coming please! |
| What is the MoCoSnow sweatshirt? I’m intrigued! |
| Mo Co Snow was started by an mcps teacher. He rates days as pencils, as far as if he thinks there will be a delayed opening or school day off tomorrow based on weather. There's a whole chart, and I can't remember if 5 pencils means you're staying home tomorrow or one, but there's ratings from 1-5 pencils. The kids all follow this guy on Twitter online Etc. He now offers sweatshirts and t-shirts for purchase. I purchased a hoodie for each kid, one for the our boy and one for our girl. |
No Co Snow - I love this site. Had no idea
|
Can you still get the Mo Co Snow apparel? The only thing I see now is Sno Szon (I think that’s it) and I don’t like that as much. |

Grandma asks for gift ideas for my 16YO son. All I can tell her is cash or gift card to Dick's. He likes autographed sports memorabilia like a Scherzer baseball. Maybe a Nats hoodie but he's very picky about brands, so I'd have to supply a link to the exact one he wants.
Last year, I filled his stocking with hygiene products like body wash, breath mints, etc. |

| Wow! These are all great ideas. DS is getting an iPhone so I was looking for an inexpensive gift idea or two so he has more than one present to unwrap. Thanks PPs! |
