    What to get a 15 year old boy for his birthday?
    ... so... this is for the mid-teens.

    My brother is turning 15 next week... and I have yet to get him a gift. Actually, I got him a gift, but I want supplements to the gift.

    So. What do you get a 15 year old boy?

    No budget really... I mean... granted, cheaper is a tad bit better... so let's stick around 100 - 200.

    He wants a PSP (hand held game thing)... but seeing as he's 15, I want him to get something actually useful, if that makes any sense.

    In the past, I've gotten him:

    Digital camera
    Watch
    Cologne
    New clothes
    iPod... ipod... and more ipods
    Cell phone

    So. Watcha got?

    What about a gift card for his fave store? Or just a visa gift card to use anywhere...

    Yeah he likes cars...

    ... get him a car?. hmmm... :eek:

    He's not THAT into sports... he had a phase where he liked basketball a lot, so I bought him one of those driveway-basketball hoops... but that phase died out quickly.

    Oh, and I'm not a nice big bro. I just spoil the sucker.

    Hm. Do 15 year old kids still play with toys nowadays?

    ... hmm... RC car... I'll write that one down as a possibility. Better than my current list.

    I'm only 16, so I don't think things have changed within a year. But Considering you go him so much stuff I would say money? For some reason people hate giving money, but I and all my friends think it's the best gift ever. I can get what I want when I want. But if you don't want to do that, then I would suggest the psp like you mentioned. Its an iPod, movie player, game player, computer all in one! You can go on the internet, use skype, and more.

    I don't no how often he goes to the movies, but you could also maybe get him a gift card to the movies? I got a lot so that would be awsome for me.

    Or maybe new clothes, I love getting clothes as most teens do.

    These are what I would want so hopefully it helps

    Ooh, thanks sgt.

    As far as money goes, I got him a checking account with a debit card and I deposit money in it every 2 - 3 weeks.

    I just took him shopping 2 weeks ago... and bought him quite a bit of clothes.

    ::sigh::... perhaps the psp is the way to go?

    Car - he's getting my 2003 acura rsx next year.

    College - already have a college fund started.

    Savings - I have a savings account saved for him that I'll give him when he turns 18.

    If he's into music at all, you might want to get him a small, inexpensive keyboard with a bunch of gadgets on it. Most kids that I know of, really enjoy messing around with such things. Could lead to bigger and better things for him later musically!

    If he might be into science at all, then how about a chemistry set?

    Just making some guesses here...
