I always give toothbrushes, combs, but I know that's boring.

Does he use hair products? Mine likes an expensive pomade.

No

For all the Dr squatch posters, what scent do you recommend? My son gets headaches from anything too perfumed. Are there any that just smell clean?

A nice pen - you could get a decent fountain pen for that much from the german brands or a very good ballpoint for less than that, and if they're writing at school all day they'll both use and appreciate it more than most other gifts in that price range

Grip strength tester. It’s just for fun.

Sewing kit then demonstrate how to attach a button.

Penzy's spices

Penzy’s contain toxic levels of heavy metals like arsenic and lead.

That is incorrect. Consumer Reports gave green dots (no lead) to all their spices except oregano which got a yellow dot. It’s one of the safest brands for spices.

World Market is a great source for food stuff if he likes to cook. Lots of small/sample sized international ingredients to try.

If he’s into sports/outdoorsy anything, hand warmers or beanie with rechargeable light.

I agree with the World Market suggestion. Just went the other day for my DS, 15. Lots of smaller, type samples food related and otherwise. One thing I found was some mints in a funny container.

We put a flavor injector in my son’s stocking last year. He uses it. Year before it was small cookie scoop set. He also uses them for meat.

Dr. Squatch is always good too. He uses the bars, soap and now even the conditioner.

Is he driving? I like to give my kids a new wristlet-type key chain with the sports team they like.

Dr. Squatch is big with my son (and husband).

All spices do. It’s the nature of spices.
