I live with a soon to be 12yr old and I am determined to buy him a gift for his birthday because his parent's can't afford one. I have straight up asked him what he wants, and i get no response or "I don't know." Well I'm stuck. I need help. His parent's have no understanding of my intent and plan to keep it that way. Any ideas? He's into football (first season this year on a recreation league) Any idea's will be helpful to me.

thanks
