Teen Smow will be 18 nxt week, and is coming to stay on Sunday with his new girlfriend! We're having a buffet party, cake, balloons(yes I'm a child lol) but I am absolutely stumped on what to get as a present!
I asked him what he wanted but he admitted he couldn't think of anything.
He has a car, a mountain bike, a phone - he loves music i.e. Vinyls as I bought him a record player for Xmas but has loads of vinyls now. He doesn't read really.....
I've got a really nice bottle of aftershave but apart from that I'm stumped!!
I hate giving money or vouchers tbh.(though sometimes they're the only option)
Yes he love football.(forgot that- doh!)
Not sure if he has a watch actually......, hmmmm
He won't wear it. It'll get put in a drawer and forgotten. What about a digital camera? He might like trying some photography. Or vouchers for some exciting event/experience, driving on a race track, flying, gliding, white water rafting...something like that.
For my sons birthday I got him the latest Liverpool shirt (bloody £68) and a little figurine of a game he was obsessed with when he was little, some fancy biscuits and cash. All wrapped up in Toy Story wrapping paper. He actually phoned me and thanked me for the wrapping paper (before his birthday so he hadn't opened it) because it really made him smile.
I agree with the memento aspect, Minty . It's just that young people don't seem to wear watches anymore so it might just be put aside. If he does wear a watch, then an engraved one is a lovely idea.
