Need gift ideas for 15 year old son.

Get him “some” drums
If he is interested in music - percussion is a physical outlet and a musical pursuit.

What teens want is something to use to relate to their peers

He LOST HIS SPORTS FRIENDS - a way to relate - and a physical outlet

He NEEDS a NEW IDENTITY in his peer group

He suggested DRUMS

Make a deal with him ... you will buy some drums ... he can help fix the basement and put up soundproofing panels in exchange for more drums


Make SURE you have that place dried out so he doesn’t get black lung from black mold !!! Use big fans and a dehumidifier (get the one with a way to put a hose down the sump pump hole - or regret and have to empty once every summer day

He needs to START NOW to learn so he can jam with friends while he is still in high school

Get DRY-LOC and have him paint the basement walls - kills mold and waterproofs - get a 5gal bucket for a little over $100 - makes the basement look clean and bright - great if you ever want to sell

Get the the DRUMS within your budget - and a new one for each birthday

- mother of 3 boys

Get him a rifle!

hot asian

this, a gas powered radio heli/aircraft kit not those gay little drones.

Sound advice, thank you. That actually sounds like a great plan, and I appreciate the thought that went into this.

Thankfully theres no mold. I dried the place out and had servpro come in and and do their thing. It's just expensive. 1500 sq feet, 2 bedrooms a full bath and living room and bar area. All new flooring has to be installed now. I'm doing that part myself. It's just expensive and time consuming.

The reason it flooded was because my cousin who was living with us left his bedroom egress window cracked because he was smoking down there apparently, and the massive snow melt pushed it all in that window. Needless to say he isn't living with us anymore.

Get him his very own tomato plant.

Electronic portable drum set.

He likes music I would suggest concert tickets to somebody he likes, a couple so he can take friends, or drum lessons, he can go there, learn something and the noise stays there...

Sounds like is spoiled already. Now he will always expect you to bend over.
As far as gift ideas go, get him something that will get him outdoors like a model rocket kit. He will get to build the models and then get to shoot them off, you can put cameras on board and the different models are endless.

16yr old girl.

Get him pro lessons where he can play on the real drums and practice at home on the electronic set. At the place here by my house they even let the kids come in for daily practice too...

Or get him a drum pad, a DI box or an interface and he can experiment with different sounds, composing etc...

If he's good at drums he might be good at bass guitar...

Yes he's spoiled, but to be fair, his only job right now is to bring me good grades and make wise choices. He gets all A's with a sprinkle of B's, and so far hasn't brought the police to my door.

Most of his electronics he has hes saved his money for and I matched it. He only gets to play them for an hour a day, and on the weekends. His laptop gets more screen time because he uses it for school.

Get a car he can restore for when he hits 16! It can be a project for the both of you. A teaching moment.

Best thing you could do is have him make an Amazon wishlist. He could do it right on his phone or laptop. Then you can check out the list and pick a few things...would still be a surprise.

I know he has video games, but what about the Playstation 4 w/ VR headset?

Pornhub is offering a LIFETIME subscription for $299 on Black Friday. It will be the gift that keeps on giving!

trust me, get him a guitar or bass

having a condition diagnosed at his age could be very frustrating. if he got into music it would be a great relief for him

my first guitar was the best thing my parents ever gave me. even if he wasnt into it at first, it will grow on him

astroglide lube for jacking off

water-based, so it's easy to wash off

lube makes it much better and at that age they're doing it all the time and doing it dry can start to hurt

condoms if he's got game

You could get him a "real doll".

Interesting. I was going to suggest a drum set. It could totally change his path in life.

Regarding noise... Aerodrums are silent and cost about 300USD. Lots of cool vids out there. The Pearl Traveller kit costs less than 200USD, and also sound good on youtube.

You can play with brushes/hotrods, and get mutes to deal with the noise. Lots of options for making quiet drums.

Some of you people are bad examples.



You can always count on my ideas Brandy. :)

Freshman year 2007.... my desktop computers still to this day.

Might want to look around here too. How much are you willing to spend for a new build? Can also collect the parts till ready to assemble.

A Gerber multitool

leave him home alone on his birthday but hire a 15 yo babysitter to watch over him

Dodge Demon Challenger.

Get him a samurai sword and a pair of handcuffs.

I need supervisors for the forklift battalions.

Hey Batman! Believe it or not he just built his first rig! Took a class at school where he had to build one, and 4 months later I figured out what he was squirreling his allowance away for. My dad ended up matching him and helped him get all the parts.

I haven't seen him game on it yet, but it's better than his laptop.

I rarely get to use my desktop my daughter bogart's it whenever she gets the chance. But I'm ok with that. I'd rather I can see what shes doing. Shes in middle school now and surrounded by packs of wolves. They're all either gay, bi, or suicidal. Middle school is a damn roller coaster. The kids truly scare the crap out of me.

^ he wants this, I asked.

Oculus quest

You should look at a set of E-Drums.
They're virtually silent, he can play to favorite tunes, You Tube instruction videos, and you won't need ear plugs..!

Here's a set I saw on EBAY...
