Xmas presents for 13 yr old boys?

[mumblechum]

OK I know I'm a lazy cow with no imagination, but does anyone have any ideas?

He eats sleeps and drinks games but I'd like to discourage this a bit as I think it's getting a bit unhealthy and I know a couple of rellies are getting him a couple of games already.

He has an iPod, cool phone, psp, ps2, ds.

Isn't interested in clothes, reads a lot. Has read all Robert Muchamore books, all Anthony Horowitz.

Any bright ideas anyone? Budget £100 to £150.

itunes vouchers. Can get them at sainsbos/tesco.

Warhammer 40K starter set (e.g. Space Marines), particularly if there is a Games Workshop near you.

My ds is 13 too and also lives and breathes gaming and I also struggle to find things that will encourage him to take a break from it.As stocking fillers I have ordered some books for him - from the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett, as he's read and enjoyed some of Terry Pratchett's children's books. And a book called 'Do Ants Have **rseholes ?' which according to the Amazon reviews is a series of vaguely scientific questions and answers and is apparently hilarious. That remains to be seen but the risque title will at least raise a chuckle from him, I'm sure.He also recently got something called a Euler Disc { from Hawkins Bazaar }which is a spinning disc that increases in velocity - seemed a bit pointless to me but he is quite keen on it. I've also ordered some comedy DVD's for him that I think he will like.Other than that I will be interested to hear if anyone else has any suggestions as I'm struggling too. Could suggest umpteen games for you, if all else fails !!!

Speakers for iPod for his room. Could get a decent set for that budget. That's what my DS1 (14) has asked for.

We are getting DS some golf clubs as he and a few friends are starting to play - second hand set as he is still growing and some vouchers for driving range. Rugby ball. Itunes gift card too like slouchy.
He has asked for some DVDs too - scrubs, father ted and Doctor who ( he dosen't want me to tell anyone he wants Dr Who ).
also he wants some books - he likes myths and legends.
And some speakers for his i-pod
Obviously not getting all of those but thought i would list all his requests

[mumblechum]

Cheers everyone. Got him some speakers for his ipod which are pretty good.

DVDs are something we've never bought but would be good. He likes Scrubs, Dr Who as well.

Do Ants hav e arseholes sounds v. much up his street.

Thanks for all ideas.
