Birthday Present for foster child...?

Question

Hiya! Our family have recently had the addition of a 15 yr old foster child. It's his birthday next week and no one has any idea on the type of thing we should be getting him. Any ideas please?

Answer 1

Give him money, and take him out to dinner. That should be fine.

Answer 2

I think you should get him something to show how much you love him and how happy you are to have him you know something playfully sentimental

Answer 3

Why is it important to state that he is a foster child? Hes just like any other 15 year old.

Why don you try to ask him what he likes. Perhaps an IPOD,dvds,tickets to something like a concert of movie. Use ur imagination.

Answer 4

Congratulations  first and how nice that you can do that.OK how about clothes ,DVDs , I don't now how much your willing to spend ,but how about a I pod ,MP3 players are cheaper.I dont think you can go wrong with new Trainers

Answer 5

ps3,xbox,plasma tv,money,toys,cothes,shoes

Answer 6

Give him a gift card

Answer 7

maybe a gift voucher to buy clothes with or a cd voucher. you don't want to get anything too expensive as the social workers disapprove of this

Answer 8

of all the teenage boys i know shoes..the new jordans or something are always a big hit. take him out to dinner and to get the latest kicks...social workers frown upon lavish gifts and it can be awkward for him. dinner would be a great way to get to know him..or take him to a movie of his choice.

Answer 9

how about some vouchers for HMV then he can go and buy himself some cd's/dvd's that he wants, either that take him shopping for a prezi

hope this helps.x

Answer 10

You can never go wrong with a gift card to a store that sells CDs/DVDs and games.

Answer 11

When my kids got to the age they changed what they were into we took them shopping for there birthdays.They were given a price range and let to pick out what they want.With gift cards you could go that way also.We always just have better luck going shopping the day of or few days before birthdays.Hope this helps.

Answer 12

It kinda depends on what his personality is.But here are a few suggestions:

electric toy car/Airplane (No not the babish ones)

Video games

clothes voucher

A ticket to a themepark/museum/concert etc

Paint ball kit

CDs or Voucher for Itunes

An ordinary MP3 (not Ipods if it's too pricey)

DVD player (there are cheap ones) w/ a a couple of DVDs

Walkman

Answer 13

I would get him money, u can never go wrong with that!

Answer 14

A 15 year old child is the same as any other child at that age regardless of whether or not they are in foster care.  Why not ask him what he is interested in ? If you can't get an answer then why not try a gift certificate to a gaming or department store?  There he could browse in different departments and select what he wants.
