What do you get a teenage boy whom has everything?

I have a nephew that has just about anything a kid could want, and I do not like giving or receiving giftcards because they are so impersonal. What are your suggestionsWhat do you get a teenage boy whom has everything?
If he has everything, you get him directions to the nearest thrift store... and teach him how to donate.....








your sister,


GingerWhat do you get a teenage boy whom has everything?
I answered your previous question. now that i know his age area, I'd suggest some good calogne or a good pair of jeans





with the pair of jeans you gotta know what kind of music he listens to first.





if he is a person who listens to rock, get him dark blue jeans that are more of a slim fit.





If he listens to rap, hip-hop, and techno, I'd recommend fading/faded jeans. regular color is fine. They can be either blue or black jeans. They should be about 2 sizes bigger so they would be a baggy fit. If you don't want to underestimate or overestimate his pants sizes in this category, a long chain would be appropriate so he can hook his wallet onto it.





If he is more gothic, get him a pair of big black jeans. not so big and baggy like if he listened to rap and stuff. A chain would also be appropriate here, but they have to be long.





my second choice is money, you can never go wrong with money.
Cartoon picture of him. Just check it out...

A good book.
Take him out do something fun.


Contact the National Star Registry, have a star named after him.


Scrap-book of good times you've had together or as family.


Make a donation to a charitable organization, in his name.
Buy him some time at a summer camp. If he does have everthing, he should learn how to do without for a couple of weeks a year. It builds character.
Make a donation to a great charity in his name if he has everything. I suggest Salvation Army, or Red Cross. If you still want to get him something... get him a gag gift... Go to Spencer gifts and get him a shocking pen or lighter, or snap gum, or something fun like that. DVDs are always good too.
tons of cash
A personalized Bible.


I Cr 13;8a

make a donation to a charity in his name. If he has everything, why try to compete.
A good slap.
I suggest saying who has everything since who is the subject of the clause ';who has everything'; whom is incorrectly used because whom is an objective pronoun meaning it takes the object.
You said you did not want gift certificates, but some are cool.


Maybe for his favorite pizza place, so he can take his friends, or order out when Mom is making liver for dinner. Or he could treat the family.


Blockbuster video.


Buy a big, cheap bowl, and fill it full of his favorite snacks, in individual servings. Popcorn, potato chips, nuts etc.. Find out his favorite soft drink, and put in a couple cans or bottles. Tuck a Blockbuster gift certificate in the middle.


Air time for his cell phone.


You did not say if he has a car yet, but if he does, a gas card. For example, Wal -mart superstores let you use a gift card at the pump, and discount the gas.


Take him shopping, set the cost limit in advance.


Ask for a want list. Tell him the budget limit, and have him put small, and larger items, for you to choose from. He might suprise you, and ask for things he really needs, like batteries for his electronic stuff, or blank CDs and tapes.


Call his Mom, she might have his wish/want list.


And, there is always money. Teens love money, to buy whatever they want.
A grown woman???! Honestly, that's all I can think of!!! Ignore me, but don't turn me in for tryin'! What about bicycle parts? Shiny chrome wheels %26amp; handlebars %26amp; other stuff like that there? :o)
A security camera
How about you take him Christmas shopping with you for an underpriviledged child?





My parents always did that with me, and it made Christmas feel nice, when you opened your presents and felt like you gave something too.
a really good aunt would get him the PS3











Or you could just buy him a PS3 game so he thinks his parents are getting him the console...





LOL





and it's who, not whom
I can suggest two things: Your love and your time.





Rather than buy a gift, do something with him and possibly a friend. It does take much for you to plan something: a movie, a ball game, etc. If you know your nephew well enough, you should find some activity to share.





When you have decided on something, create an invitation especially for him.
A ride through the underpriviliged neighborhoods so he can see how the less fortunate are spending their holidays. Also there's a group called NODA - it is made up of volunteers who spend time visiting people in hospitals who have nobody in the world and they are dying. ';NODA'; means ';No One Dies Alone.'; It's really sad that there's scared, sad people who spend their last days and moments alone right before dying. NODA gives these people someone to be there for them in their last days and the hour of their death.
Some good answers but I like the teaching him how to donate. Our kids these days are blind to the struggles of others. Take him shopping to buy a toy for a child who needs one. The mall usually has the Salvation Army Angel Tree. Pick a child and give the gift in his name. If you really want to get him something, take a picture together and put it in a beautiful frame that you make and presto, a gift.
Get him to care about those who have nothing if you want to do him a real favor. There are so many children without food and shelter right now.
How about a memory ? A gift doesnt have too be tangible, do something nice, do something fun.
Give him a box full of rock to represent the bad things he did this year. Maybe it'll be the best gift ever.
