We got him coke and hookers last year.

His parents are loaded and literally have everything. He got a brand new Polo for his 17th, so short of a ride  on concorde or Shania Twain (thinking about it, she once baby sat him ,so thats out).there's not a lot that's going to impress him.

I'm of the opinion that every male on the planet likes torches and binoculars. Am I just thinking about what I'd like or are binoculars a good idea?

If he had coke & hookers last year, then it's time to grow up: MDMA and ladyboys.

It's his 18th so maybe something he might want to keep for a while - nice pair of cufflinks?

18 years old and not your kid?  I'd go with "nothing" myself, doubly so if his parents are spoiling him to death anyway.

I bought a keyring torch a little while back, it's awesome and exactly the sort of thing I'd have loved at that age.  I'll dig out a link shortly.

Swiss Army Knife?

And make sure it's a 'proper pub' not some gastro-bollox eatery...

Maybe take him to do a weekends work with a charity? It could be good for the lad, character building.

Plenty of food banks around these days and he could take a generous contribution with him.

Lots of decent hardworking families could do with a break from caring for their sick or disabled children. There are loads of charities around that offer this kind of respite care and they are always looking for help. Scope might be a good place to start.

Some “traditional” STW reply’s, which made me laugh. 👍

Headphones, and a new iPhone charger (or a new iPhone) or, for his Polo..

Big bottle of cola and some mentos. And a mop. He'll remember it forever.

Get him binoculars, that way he won't want anything from you next year.

Organise a raid on his house so he doesn't have everything anymore.

He gains a valuable life lesson and you've loads of options for his 19th.

"present for lad with everything"

The classic answer is broad spectrum antibiotics. Especially after the hookers.

You shouldn't be looking at an item to buy you should be looking at an experience, preferably shared.

Impromptu whisky tasting in a good pub.  I did this once with a mate for a birthday treat (I was buying) and we hit a great pub with a fine selection and spent the night there.  Don't remember much, but know it was fantastic.

Into his football/rugby/netball?  Tickets to a game and a few pints at either end.

Decent safety razor and blades, wet shave at a proper barber/shaving lesson.  He'll be on disposable Mach 3 type efforts for sure - get him ahead of the game.

Some 6x9s for the parcel shelf.

That's what I got.

And a savage hangover.

What about some inspiration from an electric six song?

“I make lots of money, I make more money than you
I drive around in my limo that's what I was born to do
And I might like you better if we fought together
If its not to be noted I got somethin' better for ya

Naked pictures, of your mother
Naked pictures of your mother
Naked pictures, of your mother GO!”

Or maybe some binoculars 🙂

A bag of liver, gently warmed in the microwave.

An apple pie.

Should keep him happy for a while.

Hipflask

Without fail our lot (upper 6th form students) choose it as their leaving momento to themselves.

Filled and engraved with something pithy and a card promising to help him empty it at a suitable occasion.

Great idea.  Plus you get to keep the rest of the bottle.

An evening out with Ling - a nice meal followed by a few drinks in a relaxed bar.

Followed by a 2-year lease on an Audi A4.

Loving the cufflinks and whisky suggestions. That's the sort of crap my uncle used to get me a million years ago. I once got a first aid kit! So +1 for nothing.

In fact Lionheart saved the day.

Got him an hours flying  lesson and he can fly over his house.
