Need gift ideas for 15 year old son.

Escape from tarkov.

the fuck is with all the jacking off suggestions. This forum is sad.

Get him a roland V drum kit. They are awesome and you can use them live thrugh a P.A. and to record through a mixer.

They don't make any noise to bother other folks nearby.

this, or a drum machine with finger pads ...

Yeah! But drumming is such a whole body thing. So they feel like real drums?

One time when I had no idea what to get the kiddo for Christmas I found a little fender guitar. No idea if it was any good but I had fun tuning and playing Johnny be good Christmas Eve. Just needed something under the tree. I bought random CDs and sheet music too. Like a sampling of electric guitar styles. Because...at some point they have everything and it’s too late to claim some different religion to get out of it.

electronic drums have advantages but they aren't the real thing. And like the OP has already pointed out several times, the kid already has a set.

latest iphone/android yep will cost you a grand. get-it.

I'm glad my mom got me a drum set when I was 15 as it brought me more joy than any gift at that time and now many years later as a pro sound engineer and pro drummer my life long career started with my 1st drum set.
I suggest NEVER put off purchasing any musical instruments if a kid ask. being a musician can give a teen something constructive to do, truly helps with self confidence and musical talent needs to be developed in those teen years not something to put off till a basement is finished.
I suggest buy him a nice $300 - $400 set of electronic drums and a good set of headphones and then finish the basement. pay for some lessons or school band as well.
Drums is what made me happy at 15 for sure. Support your little guy and be his biggest fan.

Look into sports he CAN do. Boys need to move and they need to develop physical skill. Ax throwing sounds fun. My cousin IS legally blind and she does archery. There’s martial arts that aren’t necessarily aerobic. There’s always yoga but that may be an uncool mom thing to kids. Pilates is GREAT, requires no equipment and may be marketed to young men.

My favorite Christmas presents were always books.

Is Marfans what Abe Lincoln has? It’s associsted with melancholy. A meditative movement sport might be really good. If he’s going to be off the bike for and off sports for a while he really needs something new to get into.

He really wants the drum kit! Get yourself a noise blocking estate and give the kid what he wants. A stack of glossy new books on tai chi yoga chingong Pilates is what I want, Santa.

Poor kid...

Get him drone, I'm getting my boys a drone next year,not a cheapey either... There 9 year old twins, but I'm expecting them to make videos and upload to YouTube

Get him a metal detector.

Great outdoor fun and exercise.

How about a puppy? A golden Lab, but find one that is already trained and ask someone who is good with dogs if they will give him further lessons on how to train the dog almost as a companion dog...it will help him make friends if he has a good dog with a harness and leash by his side, and the dog himself will be a friend.

Yes Abe Lincoln was said to have marfans. As well as the man who played Chewbacca. He may one day be able to work his heart out, but not right now. He is most likely going to need surgery to strengthen his aortic wall. His heart has to work extremely hard to get blood to where is has to go. His limbs are too long, and his connective tissues tear too easily. It's a connective tissue disorder. Which means anything and everything in his body is liable to break and tear at any moment.

Hos doctor told him to live each day as if it were his last, and enjoy it as much as he can. With beta blockers he can live a normal life span, so not to worry. But worry is all I can do.

I was going to say this.

You can wear headphones with them

Wonder if there is a computer part he can upgrade?

If you go to this site you can figure out the price of the machines if you know what the parts are. [link to pcpartpicker.com (secure)]

If I want to play a new game I run this scanner to see if I am able to play it or not. Take the new cod for example. When it shows you the final results it will tell you some information that it can run on minimum or recommended specs. Recommended tab tells you what really needs to be upgraded for a game.. Use the information given and try to make a list of it from pcpartpicker. Make sure to save the list and make an account there too. Also a good thing about the partpicker is it will say if the build list is compatible or not. If you run the 'steam' app and then go to the 'help' drop down menu and click on system information it'll show the specs there too. [link to www.systemrequirementslab.com (secure)]

Used to be where I had to guess how much power supply wattage I needed. Well I am 200watts above the recommended for my build thanks to this website. I usually go for the 80 plus gold power efficiency rating. So today I would need just 650watts instead of 850watts.

All this is pretty fun if you know what you are doing. Sorry if its a lot to take in. Try this on your desktop first for practice.

I can't even imagine trying to buy for a 15 year old....GOOD LUCK MOM!
