Spinoff to Teens Xmas Presents

We have 7 nephews ages 10 to 18. We have a limited budget for each child since it's a very large family (in addition there are 5 other nieces but I find they are easier to buy for).

The amount is very small so we have been doing gift cards for the last few years. One year I bought the older boys who started shaving aftershave stuff from Bath and Body and they liked that, another it was graphic Ts.

I know all the things that this age group wants are electronic and costly. Any ideas of what we can get them?

Costco sells movie theater giftcards at a really decent discount...Maybe you could make each one up a basket with some goodies in it with 2 movie tickets each or something...


Also, you could do snow buckets with winter accessories, gloves, hats scarves,
snowball makers, inexpensive sleds or boogie boards etc...

My brother's GF bought my boys (16 & 11) winter hats last year one Rangers and one Yankees and that went over well. Like a PP said it's a good gift because I won't necessarily buy them those but it's useful AND cool. Just so you know, they didn't gush when they opened them but they used them consistently.

Also I-tunes gift cards, new headphones, movies, etc...

If they like fannel shirts and plaids, american eagle was having buy one get one 50% fannel shirts when I went on friday. I usually get my brothers stuff from there and it always seems to go over well. My little brother who is now 14 is into skateboarding and he loves the store Zumiez. I usually got him a gift card to there because he could get skateboarding stuff he needed like a new deck or wheels. They sell clothing and hats too.
