DS 15 has asked primarily for cash. He also wants a new chair for his desk. He's pretty much impossible to shop for these days.

My 17 year old is always cold in the basement when he plays video games, so I'm giving him a seat warmer. Here it is on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08QSBR18W/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Also getting him a caddy for his bed since he does a lot of homework propped up there. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08L2XF3KY/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

A travel safe for when he goes to college he can use it or on overnight school trips. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005K6JQXQ/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Super cool gift!

Thanks - this was a year in the making. He is like all the other 16 YOs that I have struggled with anything other than a hoodie for years.
I think my husband is more excited as they are doing a boys weekend and throwing in a college tour.
Too many of our conversations are around getting out of bed - getting out of the house - and completing assignments.
The drive + one on one weekend is like the credit card ad - priceless.
(OK - that is how we are hoping it goes)

I don't know about teen boys, but I have some and they are the most comfortable shoes ever. Not the most stylish, but I could walk all day in them.

My 17 year old wears them to the indoor basketball court before changing into his shoes. They are very popular with his friends.

The Theragun Mini is usually around $150 at Best Buy -- it's just as good as the full-size one IMO.

Sports equipment, nba tickets, sneakers, hoodies, restaurant gift cards and a massage gun topped my sons list. And socks and chocolate.

My 2 boys are impossible, keep the ideas coming.

I got my then 15 year old airpod pros last year, he had no interest in them. What teenage boy doesn’t want AirPods, my wife uses them now.

Graphic novels?

The Theragun a few posts up is a really good idea! We have one in the house that everyone uses. I will save that idea for next year so my DS has one to take to college.

As for stocking stuffers, my older DS would be happy with about 8 tubes of original chapstick. And some reeses peanut butter cups.

Last year I got my teen son a high quality frying pan from sur la table. He was a little confused/underwhelmed but recently said it’s turned out to be the best gift ever since he uses it almost every day to make eggs, grilled cheese, etc.
