Christmas Gifts For Your Son: Ideas For Teens And Grown-Up Sons

Teen sons usually want the latest thing; grown-up sons often appreciate practical upgrades or time with you more than they'll admit.

Some of the things we suggest here are sold by other shops, not by us. Where we link to them, we say so.

Frequently asked questions

What do you buy an adult son for Christmas?

A practical upgrade for his home, an experience together, or something funny and personal.

What is a good example of christmas Gifts For Your Son?

"A gaming voucher or accessory." is one of 11 examples on this page. Pick the one closest to the tone you want, then add a specific detail of your own - a shared memory, a date, a name - so it reads as yours rather than copied.

Can I copy these messages word for word?

Yes. Everything on this page is free to copy, print and read out - no permission or credit needed. Changing one detail so it fits the person is all we would suggest.

How long should a card message be?

One to three lines suits most cards. Write the message before the name so you can start again if it goes wrong, and if you run out of room, carry on inside the back cover rather than shrinking your handwriting.
