What one teenage boy likes another wont, trust me, I have two of the blighters! Also what we think is trendy, i.e. superdry, hollister they will probably roll their eyes at. Headphones is a great idea, but, also can you not just message him directly and ask him what he would prefer? I have never known my boys not to just prefer the cash, sadly. They love an Amazon voucher too. Good luck!

Thanks Louise, I'm not messaging as I know what I'll be asked for, and I'm not sending cash or a voucher, it just isn't what I want to do.
I'm going to have a nosy in TK Maxx and if not get on the internet

How about a goodie bag with antiperspirant deodorant, under amour socks (or Nike etc), portable charger, chocolates, sweets, puzzle like Rubix cube
My sons would have appreciated most of these, but the Rubin cube would probably bounce off the back of my head!

I have to agree if I bought my son bits from Hollister or superdry it would go wasted. My son is always breaking headphones , always asking for nike /adidas /tommy/ralph lauren socks or pants however cash is always the best received present in this house.

I’d be really grateful if people could stop suggesting cash. I did say in my original post that I didn’t want to send cash or a voucher, I have real valid reasons for this and nothing will change my mind.
I have had loads of great suggestions. So thankyou very much

I’d second TK Maxx, they have a great range of headphones/powerbanks etc. Those type of gifts are always well received by my Son and his friends.

A pack of lager and some heavy metal.
Get him on the booze before he starts smoking marijuana, or worse.
Apparently that's why kids don't drink as much these days, as drugs are cheaper and easier to get.

A 15 year old boy wants Ralph Lauren pants? Really?

Ath leisure is still the height of young male fashion.

Jd would be a good shout. They do 2 4 30 on a select t range - always grouped together. That would be my shout.
