I have a 14 year old nephew I spend Christmas with every year, and I have always been terrible at getting him gifts, not least of which is because I've never really had money, but also because he usually gets so much plasticky stuff that he's developed into quite a little consumer, and I just... Don't want to add to that. But I want to give him *something.* Especially if it's something that somehow opens the doors to some of the issues his neo-liberal parents don't like me talking about around the kid: labor, climate change, anti-consumption...
