Well, that was the age that my youngest GS asked me to make him a quilt for his bed....he helped me pick the pattern, and the colors to do it. He still has it, but it is now hanging on his wall.

I think a 12 year old would like a nice jean jacket with a cool embroidery on the back. Something that has a lot of movement and is hip with his friends. That design I do not know! Live Laugh Download Stitch!

Think of sport. does he play any? For a golfer a nice small bag that he can clip on for the T's and a smalish towel to hang on his bag, every golfer needs one of those. Other sport might other things like a shoe bag or so. Good luck

How about a beach towel with his name or a cool looking fish on it?

I would by a sport bag or so and sew a nice design on it, ex the angry birds ( famous game at this moment on Ipad/ iphone) but i'm not sure if you can buy the design. Do you know some things which interests him ?

You have a lot of good ideas so you will probably laugh at this but boys love machines & usually the faster they go the better so when he gets there you might let him pick out a design and put it on something.

I just bought a cute design for my 9 year old grandson at the link below. If he likes computers and games as most do these days he might like this design on a t-shirt or jacket back. I have some neighborhood children that are 10 and 11 and they would love it too. I think a 12 year old would still like it as well. It says 'I'd Rather Be Playing Video Games'. http://www.emblibrary.com/el/Products.aspx?CS_Catalog=Emblibrary&CS_ProductID=F9864

I let my 12yr. grandson embroidery his own thing, he did really well with it and enjoyed it.

What did you made on the shirts? Did he like them? Did you have some pics from the last months where you can see a little bit of his hobbies or his room?
Maybe his mother can give you some hints about his interests (sports, pc-games, musicgroups...).
A bag for sport or a cap will be cool for a boy at this age :o)

Something for his DS or other hand held games. My grandson just turned 11 in Jan. and thats what he is into. Hugs & Stitches, Liz

I agree. All my 13 yr old grandson does after school is eat, computer, & sleep. Hope he goes outside this summer & swims or rides a bicycle.

Thanks for this question, and thanks to all for the great ideas. I also have a 12 year old grandson and have a hard time with ideas for him. I don't think I would let him touch my machine though. His 4 year old sister is more careful and attentive.

I'm going to make a wild and crazy lap quilt for my 12 year old grandson. Blacks and neons and batiks with lots of triangles. He will LOVE it - as long as it isn't girly in any way :-)

How about a quilt out of some of the T-shirts you made him?

I would make a sweat shirt or jacket out of fleece and then let him choose what design he'd like on it.. maybe in the form of a badge... good luck with whatever you do.

You have been given many good ideas. It all depends what his interests are at this point so as you haven't seen for a long time, consulting his mother is a good idea. I'm sure you'll come up with something good.
