You may think that teenage boys are too old for Christmas stockings and that it is too much bother finding gifts he will use and like, after all when he was younger you could fill the stocking with toys and games but now he is in his teenage years what could you buy?

I agree, shopping for teenage boys is never easy at the best of times but at Christmas when you are buying more items…………
Well let just say if his only interest is football or computers while you will have no problem buying the bigger or more expensive presents to go under the Christmas tree what about the smaller and cheaper gift ideas to add to his Christmas stocking?!

First of all when buying any gift (for the stocking or to go under the tree) keep in mind what his interests are whether that is sport, cars and motorbikes, computers or reptiles! Also remember any of his favourite colours, shops that he visits regularly (maybe a computer store or sports shop?) as well as any favourite brands. He won’t be impressed if he only wears Adidas clothes and you bought him Nike!!

On to the ideas……

1. Magazines – Whether they are about cars, computers or sport.
2. Sports equipment (Shin pads, golf balls, darts, shorts etc)
3. Pants/socks
4. Sweets and chocolate
5. Toiletries (deodorant, shower gel, razors, travel sized cologne/aftershave)
6. Computer equipment (blank CD’s, screen cleaning equipment)
7. Torch / Penknife / Bottle opener
8. Wallet
9. Starbucks or other café/restaurant voucher
10. Posters for room
11. Headphones
12. Clock – either a wall clock or alarm clock
13. Mobile phone accessories (covers, ring tones, games, credit)
14. Sport/collectible/trading cards
15. Pens and paper
16. Car equipment (Sponges, shampoo, polish, air freshener etc)
17. Tie
18. Gadgets – the sort you find in department stores such as currency converters, clocks with the time in 5 different countries etc!
19. Gift vouchers for clothes
20. Rechargeable battery pack – Something which is always needed and which can be re-used forever!
21. Storage boxes / desk tidies
22. Sunglasses
23. Rucksack bag
24. Earring / chain / bracelet / or a new watch
25. Hobby items such as football team memorabilia (pens, posters, wallets etc) or whatever else he is interested in such as computers, cars, sport, motorbikes or woodwork.

If all of that fails then just listen to your teenage boy when out and take notes of the can I have, I need and so on! – Remember if younger brothers or sisters receive Christmas stockings and he is not may feel left out…. Even if he doesn’t admit to it!!

Good luck, happy shopping and don’t forget to have fun collecting the small gifts for your teenage boy to open on Christmas morning - Even if you only get a grunt as thanks on Christmas day!!
