Gift Idea from Teen Boy to Teen Girlfriend

[Rudyjohn]

What would be an appropriate gift for a 15yo boy give to his 15yo girlfriend (going out about 2 mo.)? This is a 1st for my son & he's at a loss at to what to give her. So am I since I have no daughters. I've mentioned stuffed animals & he always says NOOOOOO! I'm not so sure why but my reasoning for this suggestion is it's inexpensive and a rather benign gift. He said the other girls are telling him to buy her a "cute little purse." I'm running out of time here and need some ideas. (He'll wait until Christmas Eve if I let him!!!!!)

How about a CD for her (your son should know what kind of music she likes)? Or cosmetic items like nail polish sets--lots of items like that are geared for teenage girls.

He's leaning toward jewelry, necklace. I think they're too young and that is too personal. I think he thinks that's what he's supposed to give her.
I will offer your ideas. Those sound perfect to me. Thanks!

I have two daughters (not old enough for a boyfriend yet, but getting close) and I think a necklace or bracelet would be very nice. I would have liked that at age 15 from any boyfriend. They would be delighted and I would enjoy their delight. I'd recommend an inexpensive one from Target or a place like that. Something with a birthstone (even fake birthstone) maybe? They'll most likely break up in the not-to-distant future but the moment itself would be special.

Well, thank you Paula. These are inputs I need to hear because I am so unsure. And yes, they probably will break up soon so I didn't want to spend too much $$. (Notice I said "I" didn't want to spend too much $$!)

I remember thinking that a necklace was that which was expected, and I gave one a time or two.

If going for jewelry, how about some inexpensive, yet funn bracelets? CD's are good, but may seem inadequate in your son's mind.

other potentials:
-cool address book
-cool journal
-diamond ring.....just kidding
-hand written voucher for a funn evening of a movie and nice dinner with him
-funn winter hat & scarf
-picture frame with their picture in it
-cool note cards or note pads with her name on them
-pink sidekick .... just kidding
-books
-hand written voucher for a date at the paint your own pottery store


You really stumped me. This is a difficult one.

JohnRudy, you don't need to explain the "I." We know what that means! :funn: Here are some mall stores that my daughter likes and that you shouldn't have too much trouble finding--Forever 21, Charlotte Ruse, Claire's, H&B. All of them have cute stuff.

When I was 15 the boy that I was "going out with" got me an inexpensive cross necklace. I thought it was so sweet. I still have it. I have had it many years. It brings back alot of memories when I look at it. It takes me back to those youthful days.

Tell him not to give her anything of his. When I was 15, I gave my girlfriend a little sterling dove on a necklace and when she split, so did it. It was given to me by my grandmother the day I was born. Biiiaatch!

Awww, now I'm starting to get weepy. These are ALL great and thoughtful ideas. I'm guessing this could be a really sweet memory for both. (It just makes me nervous, since I've already discovered them kissing, lieing prone, etc., 3 times ) I just don't want to encourage anything furthur. I've been giving this a lot of thought! (New territory for us!) And, this is his 2nd girlfriend since the beginning of school. Mr. Johnrudy is not handling this very well.
