Are you surprised that Christmas is just around the corner and you still haven't got a list of Wants from your so? With him giving you the list, you have never had to think of what gift to buy for him and that left you free to think of gifts for others in your family. He always gave you the list well ahead of time so that you could shop in leisure. No doubt you would have argued and fought with him to prune his list down before you went to shop for gifts for him.

When children begin to grow up, they leave their world of toys and story books and begin to explore real world around them. In current times the children are growing up being independent and assertive. So if you haven't received any list from your son and there are no demands, does it mean that he is growing up? If so, he may not be any longer interested in toys and clothes etc.

So now it is up to you to think of an appropriate gift for him. Ask other parents, they will tell you that buying a laptop with latest configuration will be the best choice for a high school going child. This will be very useful for him and he will value it too.Children can use their laptops as one stop shop for all of their educational needs, project work, communicate with friends as well as play games, watch music videos, movies etc.

Most schools have begun to put up all the notices, information as well as assignments etc on their intranet.Students are required to download projects from the intranet and use internet for researching information. Once the project is completed the completed file is submitted through the website to the relevant teacher for assessment.

Not only for you son, but also for your parents too you can think of buying laptop as a gift. Your parents will find it easier to use the laptop since they browse the net all the time and keep searching for information on the internet. With a laptop and an internet connection, sitting at home your parents can conduct their business without having to step out and they can pay all their bills online, do their banking, insurance payments etc as well as shopping for medicines too online.

If you are thinking of buying a laptop for your husband, it may not be a good idea as he might already be using an office laptop. Instead why not buy him a black berry or a latest tablet pc with phone that manages all in one functions?

Truly electronic gadgets have made our lives much simpler and easier. It has become essential for everyone to have a laptop or a simple note book with internet connection. These make for good gifts for the near and dear ones.

If not the laptop you could think of gifting him a huge LCD TV for his bedroom. This will be something that he is going to love and freak out with.With each of you having your own specific favorites to watch, it makes sense to give him a TV of his own in his bedroom. He surely will enjoy watching his favorite football match or the formula one race on his new LCD TV.
