gift cards or cash usually work. my brothers are 15 and 19 and its soooo hard to buy for them unless there's a new xbox game they want. on that end i would get a gift card to Game Stop (they sell new and used games, so he would be able to get more for his money), a sporting goods store, maybe a prepaid gym membership (or a gift certificate for a few months of his current one). or you could go with gift cards to the movies, mall, putt putt, whatever he and his friends do on the weekends. a clothing store that he likes, that way he can go pick out what he wants and you won't be standing in the store clueless (been there lol). hope this helps some! happy shopping!!

Have you thought about an electric razor? A really nice one is not cheap and he will probably love it. Much better on the face. Marshals had some on a clearance aisle that were priced just right. We gave my son a gym membership last year. Not the best gift as he rarely uses it though, but maybe your son would ... How about jumper cables for his car or a car care kit with all the wash and wax supplies ... Boys are tough as they get older. I have three sons and have definitely noticed gift giving getting a bit more difficult. GOod luck!

There is a big wrestling game coming out for the 360 if he does not get it before Christmas that might be good. does he have a mp3 player like ipod or something? if not that is always good. ask him if he needs microsoft points or more live. it is for his 360 you can never have enough of those.

The best gift I got one year, I think I was 17 or so, my grandma got me a 24 pack of Pepsi.
