Gift Ideas for 16 Year Old Nephew

Is he into sports? A sports magazine would work there.
What game system does he have? What genre does he like
(sports, fantasy, beat em ups)?
What is his hobbies (fishing, working on car with Dad).
Depending on the answers will depend on the gifts.
Sorry for the late input.

If he's into sports... buy some practice time fo rhim at the batting cages with a trainer or coach.... paid passes to the movies... concert tickets for an upcomign show... I know gift cards but give him giftcards for a BUNCH of different places... like chilis, sonic, etc. I've been told all boys EAT A LOT!

Does he have an ipod? I don't know how expensive they are, but I know they are popular with the kids. If already has one, maybe $50 credit to download more music. Or an extra memory stick (I really don't know much about ipods, but don't the memory cards hold only so much?) I know you said you're bored with giving gift cards, but its something he could enjoy.

What about tickets for a movie theater and a restaurant that he likes to hang out nearby? It would work for either a date or a couple of nights out with friends.

I also agree with the other ladies, my nephews love the cash!!

I think Gift cards are the way to go. He'll be able to pick out something he really wants!!! I always give my brother in law and my brother American Express gift cards. They can use them anywere.. Visa has one too and I've gotten that before and they love it!
good luck

You really can't go wrong with gift cards and cash at that age. Is he driving or have his own car? A gift card for gas would be good.

A.,
What about tickets to the movies, DVD's gift cert for best buy
My son is 15 years old and loves his Cell phone,I-Pod,X-box games, Movie tickets, Paint ball gun, or does he have a car?
Maybe gas money.

Hope this helps,
A.

You can alwyas give cash..or if he likes games give him a gift card to Game Works at Grapevine Mills Mall...that place is really fun. OR if he likes movies..get some Blockbuster gift cards and a bucket of popcorn and drinks and candy and make a basket for him. Gift card I know are kinda boring to give but not so bad to get b/c you can kinda pick what you want to get w/ them....kids always like gift cards to resturants as well.

I have a 15 yr and he loves video games. One of the places that he loves the most is Game Stop where he can trade his old games. That would be a great place for a gift card and they even have a magazine membership that my son gets every month and it's like $12 for a year. He REALLY likes that cause it tells him about all the new games that are coming up. Best Buy is ALWAYS a hit too cause there is so much variety there where he can pick and choose what to get.
Since he is 16 and if he drives or about to a REALLY nice key chain would be a nice thought or a wallet.

Good luck, I will be trying to figure out my son's 16th Birthday gift 3 wks after Christmas!

As the mother of children 20, 18, and almost 16, the best gift is "Green" -- as in cash. If that idea is unappealling to you, a great gift card is the American Express gift card. You can order in on-line and have it sent directly to your nephew. You don't have to put a very high $$$ amount on it AND it is accepted wherever Amex is accepted. It's one of my kids favorite gifts (outside the green).
