What are 16-year-old boys into?

Whatever he plays on, mostly — a game, a controller, a headset, a mechanical keyboard. Then fragrance (he has started noticing), trainers and the odd big LEGO set. Ask which platform before buying anything that plugs in.

What is a good gift for a teenage boy under £30?

A game as a code, a fragrance mini, a controller for the platform he uses, a card game for his friends, a grooming set that is better than the one in the bathroom.

Is a gift card better for a teenage boy?

Often, and he will say so. If you want a thing to open, a game code or a gift card for the exact shop — Steam, the console store — is a considered gift rather than a cop-out.

Gifts for teenage boys

A teenage boy says he does not want anything and then spends three hours a day on the thing he wants something for. That is the gift.

Here it is: controllers and keyboards, a game delivered as a code, earbuds, his first fragrance, the LEGO he is definitely not too old for, trainers if you know the size. Real UK prices, in stock.

He will fill in a wishlist if nobody is watching him do it. Send the link and walk away.
