My nephew is a jock/tech head. Has his learners permit but not into cars too much yet but shows interest in my Vette.
My budget for him is $200 because a couple of us are pitching in together. I have lost touch! Any suggestions? |

If I was a 15 year old boy, I'd want a 17 year old girl.

Yea, no clue here. Kids today don't what we wanted. Probably wouldn't even want a digital camera cause he has a cell phone. Does he read? ---Kindle Corvette Jacket? |

He's a jock, does he do bikes?
A Go Pro wearable camera is $199 at Best Buy. . . . and you could borrow it for Autocrossing. |

Get him 3 kegs of Budwiser, that'll move him way up socially.

I'm guessing he already has an Ipod? Maybe a nice set of headphones? That's what my almost 15 year old GS asked for. Maybe, if he has an Ipod, a speaker dock/charger(Ihome).

IMO whatever you get will be the wrong size, color, brand, make, model, serial number or style. You're walking a fine line. Why not take him and let him pick something out or ask him straight up. I don't think he still believes in Santa, so I guess he's figured out it's coming from y'all. You could always give him something like a savings bond. That way you're giving him something now and giving him something in the future.

When I was 15 I was picky. Wish I was a FFF type of guy but parochial school messed up my head and everything gave me a guilt complex. Except for Well, maybe I felt guilty about it but it was after I had already finished. |

IPod Touch or a new Vid game like Assasins 3 or the Call of Duty ones that the kids all like. Gotta make sure which system he has first.....American Eagle gift card would not dissapoint....and the headphone idea is good also Ultraboy recommends Dr. Dre's Beats studio headphones.

Dr. Dre's is what my GS asked for. After finding out how much they were, I told him not to be disappointed when they weren't there for him.

My son and his friends have some teams they play on. From what I've seen it doesn't take too much other than common sense safety gear to have a real blast with it, and there's no paint to wash out when you're done. |

I just looked up the Dr. Dre's headphones... That's out of the budget! Are kids really asking for $300 gifts now?

I have been asking for a New engine (read as $15K+) every year as a joke. If I even get one car part I am happy. Last year was sway bars and the year before rims. My college is paid off and I am keeping a 3.3+ GPA.
Now for the gift for a 15 year old. He is a sophmore in highscool and a jock. Guessing football? Cash is king. Besides my car running all I wanted was money to spend. Be it on funny grass or dates I still wanted money. I am 21 and what do I want more than anything right now? More money and time to work on my elky and build the vette a blower engine. |

When I was 15, I wanted a Corvette.
But I bought a 60 Chevy, 348, 3 duces, 4 speed. Had to wait 3 months to drive it. |

Anything I get I feel guilty about because I know it was bought with a credit card that isn't gonna get paid for right away.
Gift giving sucks, who came up with this crappy idea? |

Why don't you give Jerry Sandusky a call? Im sure he knows what kind of presents young boys want..Well he would.....
But seriously, you can't go wrong with money..Both of my kids want money for Christmas, of course my wife also insists on getting them presents for under the tree.. WW |

How about a used drumset from craigslist? He may cherish it for years and years and years. Won't play the damn thing but he'll cherish it.
