I have a computer engineer/electrical engineer brother and he loves that stuff :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-teenage-boys#post-2903352 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 19:26:56 +0000 LemonJack 2903352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the Raspberry Pi starter kit is a great idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-teenage-boys#post-2903339 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 18:15:44 +0000 erinbaderin 2903339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All I can think is something related to Hamilton. The soundtrack? A book about it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-teenage-boys#post-2903330 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 17:24:16 +0000 MyBelle 2903330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rocker2014 @Jennlin821 -- Thank you both for the suggestions. Unfortunately I don't know where he lives -- I'm assuming in the same metro area as me, but I'm not sure which areas of town the group I'm sponsoring him through reach. </p> <p>That was actually one of the books I was thinking about getting for him though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-teenage-boys#post-2903309 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 15:57:07 +0000 jennlin821 2903309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @Rocker2014: a gift cert to local theater (or real theater depending on where you are!) would be awesome. </p> <p>Something like this would be great: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Musicals-Definitive-Illustrated-Story-DK/dp/1465438866/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=broadway+musical+theatre&#038;qid=1574456013&#038;rnid=2941120011&#038;s=books&#038;sr=1-2" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Musicals-Definitive-Illustrated-Story-DK/dp/1465438866/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=broadway+musical+theatre&#038;qid=1574456013&#038;rnid=2941120011&#038;s=books&#038;sr=1-2</a></p> <p>And one last option would be for dance lessons - do you have a local studio that does musical theater lessons? They may have short sessions, adult sessions or even private lessons. Theater kids usually don't get much dance training and if he loves musicals he will love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-teenage-boys#post-2903303 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 15:01:22 +0000 Rocker2014 2903303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you know where he lives? If so, could you get him a gift card/voucher for ticket(s) to a local community theater production? This way he could pick the show, date (and possibly companion based on how much the tix generally cost), but you've funded it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-teenage-boys#post-2903300 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 14:43:37 +0000 MyBelle 2903300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi bees!</p> <p>I'm sponsoring a foster child for Christmas and am looking for gift ideas for him. All I know is that he's 16 and is into acting, Broadway musicals, and computer science. He has a short list of things he wants or needs, but I'll still have a $50-75 window to get him a couple of items after I buy what's on his list. </p> <p>Does anyone have any suggestions on Broadway musical or computer science-related gifts I could get him? I could only think of a book about musicals (not sure that would be "cool" to a teenager?) or a Raspberry Pi starter kit (<a href="https://amzn.to/37wPeJo" rel="nofollow">https://amzn.to/37wPeJo</a>).</p> <p>Any and all suggestions are welcomed! </p>
