If you’re coming to the end of your Christmas shopping and are only left with a few last bits to get, first of all, I salute you. Apart from a few stocking fillers I finished my shopping a couple of weeks ago, but if you are like my husband, you’ve most likely left some of the hardest things until last, due to simply having no clue what to get despite the best dropped hints!
If you’re after a few more little gifts for a teenage boy, it can be really difficult to know what to get, due to it being so difficult to keeping up with what they’re into these days. Therefore I’ve put together a handy guide of some of the things we think make the perfect stocking fillers, and perhaps even to surprise him by how well you’ve done.
A wall print
For most teenage boys, their bedroom is their sanctuary (and an absolute mystery to the outside world). A unique and modern framed print is bound to impress him. If you’re unsure what style to go with, you can’t fail with a black and white skyline photograph of his favourite city. If you know he’d want something more individual and different, a lithograph print of a city’s subway system is a great choice.
An iPhone accessory
Most young lads are attached to their phones, so he’d probably love the latest earphones or case. If he’s a bit more particular about how he decorates his phone (and you’re scared of getting it horribly wrong) why not opt for something completely different? This Arcadie Dual Game for the iPhone is a perfect novelty, yet cool choice.
A novelty Christmas jumper
Novelty Christmas jumpers are everywhere this holiday season – you only have to walk a few steps down the high street to see numerous ones in store windows. However, for some reason, teenage boys seem to love them, and even stranger, seem to be able to carry them off. If you wanted to have a bit of a laugh on Christmas day, you could even jokingly get the whole family matching Christmas jumpers.
A scratch map
Another perfect and cool gift to hang on a teenage boy’s wall is the new ‘scratch map’. They’re the ideal gift for guys that have a love for travelling, or have expressed an interest to explore lots of places in the future, as you scratch off the destinations you have visited. You can find scratch maps on a lot of different sites in different sizes and prices.
An item linked to his hobbies/interests
Think about what sort of things he’s into, and use that to choose a few little items for him to bulk up his gifts on Christmas day. If he’s into football, why not get him a personalised mug in the theme of his favourite team? Or how about personalised golf balls, a plectrum maker if he’s into playing the guitar, or personalised alcohol if he’s in his later teens? You can find all of these options and lots of other Christmas gifts for him available here.
