My son has a very special birthday coming up

[Canuckistanian]

On Friday, he will turn 12 years old.

12 years old on the 12th day of the 12th month.

Any special gift ideas?

on edit, here's the little nipper:

[Chan790]

1. Dozen eggs?

:shrug:

[KamaAina]

2. Something from his favourite CFL team?

remember, Canadian football teams have 12 players. :-)

[Canuckistanian]

8. Absolutely no interest in sports

He's aware that Ottawa has a hockey team, but actually watching or playing a game? Forget it.

[JVS]

3. BB gun!

[KamaAina]

5. He'll shoot his eye out

:evilgrin:

[JVS]

13. BBQ gun!

[Canuckistanian]

10. You know, I'd almost consider that

He's a VERY responsible kid. You lay down a strict rule and he follows it almost to absurdity.

But not quite yet.

[JVS]

12. Oh come on. He's 12. Soon he won't be interested in such things.

He'll be preoccupied with sex and driving a car.

4. Hookers

Hookers and beer.



:evilgrin:

[Canuckistanian]

11. I don't want him peaking too early

We'll introduce the hookers to him a bit at a time.

As for the beer, he ain't getting none of mine.

6. A gross of something gross

[Canuckistanian]

9. Now you're talking

Especially something that will make my wife nauseous.

He'd like that

[tigereye]

18. ooh, ooh!

The Grossology book!

My son LOVED that book - he's 12 as well.



he sounds like a neat kid, Happy Birthday to him!


Failing the gross thing, or if he already has it, how about snowshoes or some cool outdoor thing, like a kayak?

7. dupe

[Spacemom]

14. What a cutie pie!

I wish I could help with gift ideas. My oldest just turned 13 last month. These tween/early teen years are so hard for gift giving. Too old for the little kid stuff, too young for the "big" kid stuff!

Tell him Happy Birthday from DU!

15. Does he have a telescope?

[IndianaJones]

19. a telescope? nerd. nt.

[redqueen]

21. ...

:cry:

[meegbear]

16. A copy of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night "

What 12 year old wouldn't want some of the bard on their special day?

[Eurobabe]

17. Ha, he is special, that's my daughter's BD too

but she'll be 27. :rofl:

I would have no idea what to get a 12 year old boy. :shrug:

[harmonicon]

20. a 12 pack of beer

he's a man now!
