    Hi all:

    My nephew is starting secondary school this year. His parents will buy the essentials, but I'd like to get him some treats.

    What are the "cool" things for kids that age to have?

    Thanks.

    You could get him an up to date smart phone.
    I also found that a lot of guys I went to school with liked to have a popular coat/jacket.

    Clothes wise i'd say anything from Hollister/Abercrombie (also good for things like cologne)
    Lynx is always popular.
    Vans and Converse always go down well but it really depends how much your willing to spend as they are around €50.
    An itunes gift card maybe if he has an ipod or if his school allows them to go out for lunch maybe a gift card for a local subway,mcdonalds etc. :) x

    Has he got a backpack or have his eye on one?
    Depends on what your budget is I think. Itunes voucher always good and like the idea of a Subway etc voucher.

    Tbh all a teenage wants is cash. I have clothes from family members with the tags on them, as I never liked them. Most teenagers find gift vouchers fairly thoughtless so don't bother with them.

    Unless you plan on getting them an iPhone or galaxy s4. Cash is the best thing by far.
