My 16 year old is getting:

Car supplies (fast charger for jumping, tire gauge, etc)
Roll out craps mat game
Fitbit
Luggage for a school summer trip (Amazon had a samsonite set for $300 off black Friday)
The next inseam up in his favorite jeans, on sale 50% off Black Friday
Portable phone charger
Guitar sheet music
The kind of gloves you can use with a smart phone
Clothes
A collectable he has received every Christmas for the past 7 years

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!

These are things that our 15yo + 13yo are getting (from us or relatives) or have gotten in past years:

--crotchless bike seat
--bike lock
--fishing pole
--ipad pen
--Sports Illustrated subscription
--Adobe subscription
--fit bit
--microphone
--gym membership
--stocks
--movie tickets or gift cards
--hammock
--photo album with their photos
--their own throw blanket
--guitar
--wallet
--dopp kit
--cologne shopping trip (and bought after testing)
--books - fiction, but also coffee table books like college football, military history, "what if" by Munroe, graffiti art, and other trivia
--always get an ornament

Stockings are something like:
--chap stick
--chocolate
--deodorant
--nail clipper
--ear buds
--hot sauces
--winter hat
--deck of cards
--key chain
--always get christmas stickers and a surprise mini-Lego figure because I can't resist

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.

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.

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.
