any ideas on gifts for a 14 year old boy

I've been looking for a gift idea for my 15-year-old nephew, and it seems like all the ideas are centered around sports or video games. If this is typical of what a 15-year-old gets on his birthday, it's little wonder that we lag behind other countries in education. How about gift ideas that stimulate the mind/brain, and open up career vistas? I was 14 when I was given a pocket reference book of cars from around the world, and it led to a life-long career around automobile engineering and design. I did toy with the idea of becoming a photographer(gift of a 35-mm camera, one of the first), an astronomer(I still carry that legacy as an amateur) or a diplomat, that last being due to a variety of books I received as presents covering international culture and history.

Xbox 360, any video games would work wonders......

or if he's the sporty type, get him something from the sport he loves or his favorite Player

noo not Xbox 360 #1 its a bit pricey $399 plus tax for a 360 premium. #2 trust me it breaks alot. ive had 4 diffrent Xbox 360's and the first one crashed on me the second one and the third one had broken memory slots cuz when i put my memory cards in it they broke in less than a week then the fourth one the tray that you put the game disk in came completly out the first time i turned it on so i said forget this im getting a PS3 but then i found out it was $599 plus tax so i said im getting a Nintendo Wii its way cheaper than the 360 and deffinatly cheaper than the PS3 the Wii is only $249 plus tax so about $271, still cheaper than the 360. and it comes with one disk with 5 diffrent games (baseball,bowling,boxing,tennis, and golf) but its not like the older systems with wires its wire less and motion sensored so its just like your really playin baseball or tennis etc. the other cool thing bout this system is u can lose weight just by playing this. and Nintendo makes the best systems because they are well made and IF something does go wrong u just call the 800 number and they are SUPER nice and they will try to do anything to help they will send a new system out for free if the other one breaks but it wont because ive had one since it came out and it works just like its new and its really fun to play my grandma loves to bowl with me and i think my mom likes it more than me its fun for the whole family so i hope u get a Nintendo Wii cuz its really cool

well if hes a crush, send him a note. If he's a son, get him a signed baseball or mitt or ideo game or....you get the point...

give him something he can use. I am a 14 year old girl almost 15 and I know for me if I get something that I can't use daily it ends up collecting dust and talking up space. Try taking him to his favorie store or giving him a visa gift card so he can go with his friends or take his girlfriend to the mall and he can feel all special because he can pay for lunch or something.

Any kind of video game or a movie on dvd.

Money. Everyone loves money. or a gift card it says I got you a gift. But I dont want you to return it so I bought you this

A 13 year old girl LOL

MONEY. Everybody loves it.

my brother is 14 and his bday was a few months ago, he loves money because then he can buy whatever he wants with it, and dont think that that isnt personal enough because believe me it is. they much rather have cash then having to pretend they like it and then have to return it or whatever...trust me that is your best bet!

concert tickets, sport event tickets,depends how much money your willing to spend.

Get him a Pair Of jeans with a leather jacket and shoes it will make him feel sexy

money!

movie, sports stuff, music stuff

Man-Perfume
Got my boyfriend you by Ungaro...Smells luuusshh!! :O

For christmas I have to get this boy I like something, he is 13 but acts older than he is. He will not tell me what he likes he just wants me to surprise him with something, I have no clue what to get him now and time will soon run out!

She sayd she doesnt want to give him video games ! And then you all tell her what video games to buy !!! You should give him money so he can spend it on sompthing he likes or get him a gift voucher in a shop wich he will not be able to buy video games from a shop with educational stuff ! Music4Life x

how about an ipod,a cellphone,a skateboard(if he likes to skate) there is a lot of stuff out there

360 is a good choice, Wii's are better but are more expensive and a lot harder to find, and an Xbox 360 is only $199 + tax
