Default Help me find the perfect kit!

Hi all,

I need help! My oldest and only boy turned 14 today. I am looking for the perfect kit to document his special day. Doesn't have to be a birthday kit necessarily either. Background, he is on the autism spectrum, and so he's not like the typical teen boy - he's not into boy things - he loves history, music (Madonna, Prince, Abba, etc), all things NYC, watching Britsh tv, the Kardashians (say what??! LOL) to name a few. He has friends at school but he doesn't socialize outside of school except for a select few girls through social media/texting. The only kiddish thing he does really do is play an online game called, Roblox.

So with that in mind, I need kit ideas. I am having a hard time to find something that doesn't appear babyish or young boy. Thinking someone might have something that pops right into their head when they read this! :-)

Thanks,
Erin

I would just go with kit colours that suit him. If he's a vibrant bright kid, go with primary colours. If he's more quiet and subdued, use blues/greys/greens. Just search by kit colour, or 'boy' in general. There's bound to be something that catches your eye.

Some boy birthday kits that are a little more grown up:

Jacinda went full out! I have nothing left to add except good luck! I know how hard it is to find the perfect kit when you've got a kit in mind for the pics!

Great suggestions from Jacinda indeed!
I'd like to add a few more just in case:

This is quite festive and not kiddish at all!



Blagovesta's kits are usually not too childish either:



















Hope you find something that works for you

I thought of this one, since he likes games and music.
It might be a little childish if you first look at it, but maybe it's usefull if you use it without the lego or/and the people.

I agree with Jacinda... I'd probably go off theme and find colors that suit him. I also have an autistic boy who's not typical at all, so I have quite a few kits that'll work along those lines. In fact the FWP kit right now (A Million Dreams {Boy}) is designed with him in mind!

In addition to all the awesome boy kits already suggested...

I came to suggest some and looks like the girls already have them covered. I'm sure you'll find the perfect one with their suggestions.

You said he's into music ... this is one of my all-time favorite music/rock/pop kits, by the phenomenally talented KCB:

It also comes in a bundle with the most gorgeous ombre bokeh papers here:
