Dudes. They don’t want anything. They don’t care about clothes. They don’t care about cute decor items. They don’t shave. They basically live in filth and despair, and are quite happy about that until someone whips them into shape. A certain 21-year old in our family needs a girlfriend.

Ian has lots of technology needs and wants. With Ian frequently doing school at home this year, he needs a new computer to run major, hefty art and music tech programs, which won’t run on his 9-year old Mac. I’m not sure if a computer for school should really be considered a gift or not, so we’re supplementing with some of the games on his list.

Yes, I know everyone wants a Sony Playstation 5, but he’s into the Switch. Here are the Ian-approved switch games: Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Club House Games, 51 Worldwide Classics, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition, Hyrule Warriors, Age of Calamity, Paper Mario The Origami King, Pokémon Sword, Pikmin3 Deluxe.

Ian also approves of the Lego Super Mario Adventures with Mario Starter Course.

I think the Child plush toy is totally cute.

For older teen boys, I like sneakers, a Hydroflask water bottle, Sunglasses, a school planner, a face trimmer, and some casual t-shirts.
