Re: Christmas Presents - Good Websites/Pages
I did think about a car, but a good one appears to run into major sums of money. And I'm not even sure how long he would really play with it. 14 is an odd age - not a child, but not grown up either.
He loves all sorts of science/engineering type stuff. I just need the right website or shop. Sigh.

I'm still looking for inspiration, just on John Lewis and saw these. Thought they were quite cute, and maybe something you/your daughter might like.

The dude has an AR Drone ($300) and a Sphero ($80-on sale at the moment) from Brookstone. Both controlled by an app on his iPhone or iPad. I know the AR Drone is expensive but it is awesome despite the 15 minute(isn) fly time, we bought an extra battery for extra use.
$300 for the other thing is a bit steep.

I'm getting 'Cards Against Humanity' for a couple of the older teens, they'll think it's hilarious and that I'm the cool aunt, and it'll horrify their parents 
Careful whether you buy the US or UK version.
