Need ideas for christmas

"barrett0...@aol.com" <barrett0412@aol.com>
I need ideas for a 17 yr old boy. He's into gaming, music sports,
typical boy things. What are kids this age asking for?
Thanks!

I think a gift certificate may be the best route for a boy his age
unless you can learn specific details about what he would like.

I've heard "money" and "gift cards."
Not as cheap but a "woohoo... real American Express card?" I'm
thinking of the Travelers' Cheque Card. (Admittedly, it may be out of
your price range. On the other hand, it may be in your price range.
You didn't say.)
If that's too much AmEx does the Best Buy gift card on their behalf
(the Blue Box is on the small print on the back) and they make the
money on the float.

I recently asked my sister for birthday ideas for my nephew who just
turned 16. She suggested white short– or long–sleeved Ts in the
"popular brands". So I had to ask which are the popular brands! The
answer was "Nautica, Quiksilver, Tommy Hilfiger, Ecko, and more. The
next time you're in the mall, you will see the teenagers and young men
all wearing the same sort of stuff. Check out their logos. And, he
likes "gear" with logos of the local hockey and football teams."
I ended up getting him a navy T from Nautica, and a long–sleeved grey
one with a vintage hockey logo for our local team. They could be
returned/exchanged, but he says he likes them. B–)
By the way, I went into our local discount fashion store & saw many,
many Ts which looked like rejects from the 70s: smeary printing, faded
logos and pictures so they looked like they had been in the washing
machine too many times & it was time to use them for rags when washing
the car. I checked with him, and that's not in style at the school he
goes to!
She also said he "mostly likes action type movies, including the science
fiction ones. Another possibility for a gift idea for him might be
movie passes."
Hope that helps!
