blocker Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Until my wife got ill, I made a big thing out of Christmas. I really enjoyed shopping and giving. Her infirmities drained that pleasure from me. I now just give everyone a gift of money. But, I do make stockings. I have a problem finding appropriate gifts for three people. Two of whom are hockey players. One is a senior at a prep school, and one is a sophomore in high school. They value being "cool". I'm looking for suggestions or tips. Actually, I'm seeking ideas for high school boys. They have pretty much all the hockey stuff they need.

yave1964 Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 @blocker Sorry about the crude joke Blocker, no I have found that electronics are a cant miss gift, but not knowing what to get in that regard, I go to a place called Game Stop and get gift cards, and tell the teens in the family to let me know what I have bought them. It has made me a popular uncle and even Dad over the years, the kids actually look forward to it.
blocker Posted December 10, 2015 Author Posted December 10, 2015 Sorry about the crude joke Blocker No problem. Knowing you, I knew it was out of character. I'll check your suggestion.
SKiFit Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Experience has taught me that most teenagers today with an i-anything (iPhone, iPad, etc.) appreciate iTunes gift cards (http://www.apple.com/itunes/gifts/). This lets them add a variety of electronic goodies to their devices... music, apps, books, movies, etc.
flyerrod Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Maybe tickets to a (hockey) game where you can go together and enjoy some time and the game with them? With my oldest son(22), anything that he can use for fishing is spot on but for the 17 year old it is always about the computer upgrade. He has advanced so far past me in knowledge there that I have to ask him for specific things he is looking for.
AlaskaFlyerFan Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 A gift card for their favorite hockey pro shop or web site. They're going to need some thing sometime, like a new stick.
BluPuk Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 A subscription to a magazine that is hockey related would likely be good. Depends, of course on their being at the same address all the time. People love getting stuff by snail mail.
