Gift cards are the safest bet, especially for general stores.

Usually itunes gift vouchers are a great idea, otherwise a voucher for a nice clothing store that they like to visit.

A wallet — I mean a real proper mans wallet as most teens I know are using a Velcro surf type wallet. Video games or even something relating to their favourite sports team. I have 2 boys aged 13 & 17

JB HIFI voucher, a cap, iTunes voucher, backpack. It gets so much harder as they grow up! Good luck.

Vouchers are great at this age as kids of this age are usually saving for something special and a voucher can help them to reach their target.

Gifts for a 16 year old teenager would centre on their predisposition to skin care, looking good with hair products, clothing, foot-ware, video-games, movie tickets and food. Just observe teens and you will see what they like to wear. Ask at the Games outlets and assistance will be forthcoming.

Boys can be hard to buy for. I’ve bought my nephew a few tshirts, but I’ll give his mum the receipt in case he wants to exchange them. Otherwise, cds and vouchers.

16 yr olds appreciate gift cards or cold hard cash
