We've bought my 13 year old son a paintball gun and all the crap that goes with. That's the only thing he's asked for and when I ask him what else, he says "I don't know". In addition we have gotten him a Red Sox jersey, sweat pants and shirt and Night at the Museum/2. I'm not looking to spend much more, but I need to get him a few more gifts and who would better know what an immature 13 year old boy would want than all you guys?? ;)

Could also use a few suggestions for the daughter's 22 year old boyfriend.

Your help (?) is greatly appreciated.

This is vague at best without a price-range.


Buy your 13 year old some GOOD paintballs. I hope to God you didn't get him Brass Eagle equipment.

Hubby bought the stuff, so I'm sure it's good. I'm not looking to buy the boyfriend a car or anything like that, maybe $50 or so. I've bought him some Burberry cologne and a Puma shirt. Just needs a little something else.

Justin, your present is in the mail. Should be there anyday. You might want to go wait by the mailbox til it comes.

get the boyfriend a Dick's gift card or something. If Im ever in a relationship like that sort of deal I'm asking for Golf Galaxy/Golfsmith gift cards.... those cards start to add up and can buy some nice stuff.

For the 13 year old, does he have an X-Box or a PS3 or something? Some games/accessories(ONLINE HEADSET) would probably do him just fine

Can't fail with a giftcard from Best Buy or something like that.

Perhaps a nice bottle of liquor (I mean, he is 22...)

Condoms and a Victoria Secret gift card would be funny in that creepy uncomfortable sort of way.

HAHAHAHAHAHA That was great, power_i! Does your 13 year old have an iPod? If so, an iPod gift card is always welcome.

No clue crosby show. Hubby was in charge of all that. I just wrapped it and paid no attention. I know he didn't buy the best, as we'll see if he uses it first.

zambrown, notice how that went right over their heads? ;)

tim tebow, yes he has that already. I'm thinking it would be a gift to my daughter if I could make it disappear!

People always like a booklet of car wash coupons. A recally nice car wash place locally always offers some great deals on their booklets during Christmas. You get like 5-6 (or more) "all the works" washes for $25. It's a really nice USEFUL filler gift and/or stocking stuffer gift.
