I have no children of my own, but what about the latest cool video game or, if you don't want him to spend too much time with that, a cool outfit (does he like clothes?), or a doggy or kitten (provided you are willing to help him to take care of a pet... lol). 15 years - nice age!

Ya know, my kids are spoiled and REALLY good kids. I am not saying that it is always nice and peaceful but for the most part, they are great. They do not get in trouble in school and do their absolute best at the school work....AND they are spoiled. If there is a game he has wanted, he has it....I usually preorder them. I may, in the end, just give him a card with cash in it and tell him to get what he wants. I refuse to do that at Christmas (I think if kids are under a certain age, they should have presnts and not cash under the xmas tree) but birthday is okay for money.

hey riffie how about a go cart kit that he can build his own go cart? that is if he likes to build things.or if he likes football how about a couple of tickets to a game with his favorite team playing with his best friend and a basket full of goodies of many different things that he loves like (football blanket of favorite team or favorite pizza coupon you get the idea).i have a suggestion see if you like this you can buy a blanket and you can put a photo of him on it or you can put alot of photos of him in the middle and the rest of the family around him.this is a real personal gift and also it would be something that you had made just for him.let me know if you like this idea and i will post the instructions on how to do it.hope this helps hugs alea

Yeah they are hard to buy for at that age, mine always used to live video games, dvds or whatever it was that they were collecting - usually Transformers and in actual fact they are still collecting the blasted things. Paul has a room devoted to his transformers and ninja turtles at his house, and Mark can barely move in his room they are stashed everywhere. How about tickets to go see a band or even movie tickets. Oh hell, that reminds me, both of my boys have birthdays in November, I better get my own thinking cap on.

How about a 15-year old girl? :)HG


LMAO!!! Then in a around 9 months she'll be wondering what to get her new grandchild!!!omg

Last Christmas I made personal cork boards for both of my kids (age 21 and 23), they absolutely loved them!! I just took a wall hanging cork board and personalized it with pics of friends and family, cuttings from magazines that fit their personalities, memorabilia from their past and then added tickets to several current events (soccer and music festival, and movie tix). I left the middle open for them to use, and they have added their own personal touches....they still tell me all the time how much they love their "life boards".

lol we resemble that remark at our house! I like the memories board idea, my mom did something like that one year, split up all the family pictures and we each got an album or box... The gift card is probably great for a kid his age, they love getting exactly what they want!

congrats on fantastic kids!

What wonderful suggestions from all your Streak friends. As for the non English speaking streakers, I admire you so very much! I could never post in anything but English as I don't have a second language. I admire you so very much!!!
