Prairie~Phlox Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Something useful that he can have for a long time. He plans to go into the military, his brother is getting a code reader for his car, and his older sister is getting some metal bowls for when she moves out, her request. In the past I've gotten both boys the same thing, and given them tools. 16-year-old does not have a car yet though, so I don't really want to get him a code reader as well. Any suggestions on the $25-$30 range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganicJen Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 My kiddo that age likes those cameras that attach to bike and ski helmets etc and I found him one that was less than $30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pippen Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 My kids got me an Anker Quick Charge USB charger, and it's really fast. I got one for DD to take to college and she really appreciates being able to charge her phone quickly in between classes. I'll sometimes take it when we travel, to give us multiple ports to plug into. https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charge-Charger-PowerPort-PowerIQ/dp/B01IUTIUEA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1512539468&sr=8-1&keywords=Anker+Quick+Charge+3.0+63W+5-Port+USB+Wall+Charger%2C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-rap Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 How about a duffel bag? Something like this... (Lands End is having a 40% off sale right now) https://www.landsend.com/products/medium-everyday-duffel/id_302704?sku_0=::248 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink and Green Mom Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 My 16 year old has asked for wireless speakers this year. Before he got a car, some relatives got him gas cards and a car tool kit. He LOVED that because it reminded him that he would soon be getting his license. So even though your son doesn't have a car yet, if he is looking forward to being a driver soon maybe a car-themed gift would go over well?

(Lands End is having a 40% off sale right now) https://www.landsend.com/products/medium-everyday-duffel/id_302704?sku_0=::248 They all have nice duffle bags with their initials already. That was a gift years ago, as were sleeping bags one year, can't remember what else. Things that they could use for a long time have always been goals.

Prairie~Phlox Posted December 6, 2017 Author Share Posted December 6, 2017 I honestly saw these and thought that might work? https://www.samsclub.com/sams/air-chair/prod21351558.ip?xid=plp:product:1:6 or something like this? https://www.amazon.com/Easycouch-Inflatable-Lounger-Waterproof-Polyester/dp/B072ZVQ7C1/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1512562937&sr=8-2&keywords=quick+fill+chair What do you think?

craftymama Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Does he have a leatherman multi tool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 He probably has one, but what about a nice pocket knife? I'm wary of inflatable furniture because they don't seem to last here, but my guys would enjoy relaxing on it while camping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
