Get him some cook ware that will last a lifetime, but doesn't require much maintenance. A Le Creuset enamel frying pan or Dutch oven would be good.

You could pair this with cooking lessons; either with you or from a professional.

I would suggest a nice chef's knife, but he probably isn't mature enough for one and could easily ruin it. Same for regular cast iron, requires care that a 17 year old probably won't give.

this, get him cooking lessons and a nice set of cook ware

another option would be offer a certification in fitness if he is into that type of stuff like an online certification like from defranco(cpps), opex, or zach evan-esh(underground strength cert) or power athlete. those are items that can provide him with a life time of education.

thats assuming the gap year is really just a gap year. if its just im delaying college with no plans to really ever go, just trying to make my parents happy.....then you should get him hooked up with local trade school classes. Pay a semester or something.


as far as the party...i think its just douche because of what your cousin is calling it lol and that its an official thing

This is strange...









Im out

A membership to Triple A. I know you baws wanna be hardcore and handle all your vehicle issues yourself, but it's helped me out of all kinds of jams. Them dudes can change a tire with that mobile impact wrench in about 10 seconds.

Does gap year mean he's going backpacking around Europe for a few months or work as a cabana boy or at Yellowstone for a year to get some real world away from momma's tit experience or something cool like that? Otherwise, if he's just going to get stoned and play video games for a year that sounds like some lame shite a cuck would allow their kid to do. I did Basic Training and AIT, then worked in construction for 6 months before I started college. That's the real coming of age gap year shite that every kid needs so they know what's really in store for them before they flunk out Freshman year or get a girl knocked up.

Just looking for ideas here...

My cousin invited me to a party for his son today. It's supposed to be a birthday/graduation/coming of age party for his son who is 17. Apparently it's going to be men only and he asked that I get a gift that is relevant to a young man venturing out into the world (I think he may take a gap year then pursue college).

Has anyone here been a part of this and what would be some good gift ideas that would retain value as he makes life decisions? (Not whiskey or hookers lol)

Ant help is appreciated.

I see Gap year, and I think he's going work at the GAP. Tight rolled cuffed jeans, braided belt with the excess stuffed into the pocket. Gift him a swift kick in the arse, and tell him gap years are for trannies.
