"Boy's Toys" are always a good option. Channel 4 did a programme recently on what the top 5 presents were this Crimbo, and although I cant remember it by memory, I think it went something like this:

1. Nintendo Wii Console
2. New iPod Nano (2nd Gen)
3. Robosapien V2 (toy)
4. Gears of War (Xbox 360 Video Game)
5. Samsung D900 (phone)

Now obviously there is no such thing as THE perfect present, it depends on budgets and personal preference. I would say, the Wii and iPod are pretty safe bets if he doesnt have one (word of advice- if you're getting the iPod, set some money aside for better headphones). If you dont wanna spend that much, get him a nice pair of jeans (Diesels are always boss!) or a hot new aftershave (CK Euphoria, but this REALLY depends on preference). Happy hunting!

if ou can, ask them! A really manly gift would be an electric shaver. Or, as others have suggested, any electronic thing, but games if they can not afford to actually buy more will become tiresome and frustraiting to them.
Better an Ipod.
If you want to spend in the lower ranges, a really nice ball point pen, if they will be heading to uni, or a pen pencil set. I still have mine round here someplace.
Oh Movies on DVD if you know the kind they like, books if they are into reading. My Gran bought (at my request) a complete works of Shakesphere when I was 13. She is now dead, but that collection will always go where I go...
Yes, I was a little odd back then, and still am!!

It depends on how much you are willing to spend: in the high ranges, for gamers, the new wii is out! its not too shabby, and if hes into games, then he'll love it. Also, Xbox if he doesnt have one, PS2, etc. Also in the highs, for sports fans: try tickets to games, you cant go wrong there! Especially if said boy likes a certain team. Buy some tickets! Middle ranges: how about games? do some undercover work and see what games he might like...madden 07? its getting old now but if he still has some interest for it...gift cards to G Unit or sumthing like that...

Here are two amazon lists. For boys 13-17 and for College Students (since he is close to end of first list).

most guys that age seem to be interested in anything to do with computers (games, mp3 player, graphics card / more memory), or music. u could also risk buying him clothes if u are very sure on what he likes. there is a cool company called joe browns, who sell clothes and accessories, but it's aimed more at the alternative / rock scene. if he's into things like that, check out their website at www.joebrowns.co.uk

It depends what that guy is to you! Probably something like an mp3 player, a game for whatever games console they have, something from Hawkins Bazaar, Something from their favourite brand, an album of their favourite band, or failing that just some money.

Give a gift that will exploit his personal interests/hobby. Too often people give gifts that they, the giver of a gift likes, and doesn't understand what the recipient wants or needs.

With the great selection of gifts available, there should be no difficulty in shopping for any teenager.
