Hello Grans,

My Grandson is 18 years old and has just received all of his offers from Universities for 2018. I want to buy him a little gift as a token of my appreciation and am not sure what I should get, so I would be very grateful for any advice. He is very interested in Shoes, Cars and Gaming, as is the case for many teenage boys, so something in those categories might be good. Thank you ever so much for your help, I look forward to reading your replies.

How about a teenage girl? No, sorry, only joking. My teenage son is always most grateful for money. He'd prefer to choose his own present.

You can buy a card with Xbox points, or whatever they are.
I bought my oldest grandson one for Christmas, and he said 'cool' so I think he liked it.

Teenagers like money, but if not, then vouchers.

Money -the only thing acceptable to a teenager - as much as possible too!!!

Yes money...better than an unwanted present that goes to the back of a drawer ( or in the case of a teenage boy with the rest of rubbish on the floor or under bed)

Thank you ever so much for all of your help thus far. I think vouchers may be a good idea, so that he can buy what he likes. Although I may order one of those phone cases for my younger DG (14 years old), as he too likes shoes so I think it will make a nice little gift and shoukd stop him from feeling jealous.

Teenage boys love to spend time playing games. They are very much engaged playing games on the PlayStation or Xbox. Gifting them an Xbox live subscription card from this source would be the best thing they would ever wish for. Gaming freaks would definitely love it!
