Any ideas for Xmas or Bday gifts for young men ages 12-16 from their Aunt?
-
I'm looking for inexpensive gifts to give my nephews. I ususally buy from "Ten Thousand Villiages" or other international fair trading sources which do not exploit poor people in 3rd world countries. I like to give my nephews & nieces unique gifts. They are from wealthy families and don't need things -- I am on a really tight budget and cannot afford to get them the type of gifts their other relatives give. I genuinely love them want to try to bless them with something meaningful or special as a token of love from me & my daughter. The girls are easy, we buy bath or beauty items on sale then add handmade earings or a craft. But the guys? Any ideas, especially from teen boys, of gifts that touched them?

Answer:
Hi, how about giving them a religious pendant. Or maybe finding a leather crafter and having a belt designed just for them? Do you see them often? How about just some homemade baked goods and hide a few dollars in it.

Try store specializing in puzzles. They have all kinds, including rings that are locked together that you have to figure out how to separate. Or 3-D puzzles are challenging to put together. My son loved trying to "figure it out" the puzzles.

go to cheap bargain stores and you'll usually find really cool stuff there. i dun have much money so i get my freinds really funky cool stuff from shops like that. or if you feel thats too cheap then have like a hamper kinda thing where u chuck in something like lollies or chocolate then chuck in like a mini basketball and i little torchlight etc.

Books, Kits, like model planes. If there's a puzzle store, look around in there for ideas.

I know how it is, I am on a tight budget and my nephews have plenty of money and all they want. One year I got them penlights that made shapes in the dark. They were like $10. each. maybe even less. Last year I got them each CD holders that had neon lights on them. They loved them. Another year I got them key chains with a little flashlight on the end of it.

Gift card to Best Buy. BTW, where would those poor people in the third world countries be without American $ pouring in? Take a look at the dictators running the countries and then tell me whose fault it is.

A gift card from the store where the purchase their music. All "tweens" and teenagers love music. You would never be able to pick out what they like. With a gift card, the can pick out their own.
