12 year old boy. He only loves his phone. What on earth can I get him?

[StrumpersPlunkett]

Budget not the issue.
Just ideas. He doesn't really like anything!!
Help😁

I'm in same boat. For his recent birthday my sister bought him two large canvasses and a pack of mini spray paintS. He loved it, practiced some graffiti and it's now in his room.

Mine wants clothes & trainers oh and a new iPad!

Nerf gun.
Tickets for a gaming show.

[Lovepancakes]

I would focus on something lovely you can do together - tickets to something very exciting or even an amazing trip somewhere?

[StrumpersPlunkett]

OMG davidwainrightsfeet I love that song!
Thanks for the ideas
He enjoys cooking so was going to get him a teenagers cookery course
But stuff to open it is all a bit shit
Love the canvass and spray paint idea

Argh boys!!

[Balletgirlmum]

Mine wants a Pokemon go plus.

[DavidWainwrightsFeet]

I think you may be the only person who knows it's a song OP

I have this problem as well I'm looking at the wireless beats earbuds but don't know if they'd be to big for him.
On his list so far I have a young drivers lesson, aftershave, Lacoste hoody,anti gravity phone case.
It gets harder each year.

[StrumpersPlunkett]

Ooooooooh young drivers lessons will be thinking about it for next year.
Wireless earbuds! Didn't know they existed will look at them for me😬

Mine was like this last year so i bought him a phone projector (cardboard thing) you build yourself to put images onto the wall. i also got him a fish eye lens for his phone camera.

I'm really struggling with mine too, it looks like we will be going for custom footie boots for >£200 , some Adidas/TNF clothing as there is nothing else he wants/needs. He'll get the usual football and football related stuff.

Its going to cost a fortune, but will be mostly branded clothes I refuse to buy the rest of the year for him. I've given up spending money on "fun" gadgets (did consider a drone) as he just doesn't play with them.

Might consider the young drivers lesson.

[DoItTooJulia]

Does he like coding/robots because the Lego NXT robots are £££ but amazing!

[DailyMailPenisPieces]

This is good - and cheap - can be used with some games they play on phones: www.amazon.co.uk/Google-Cardboard-45mm-Focal-Length/dp/B00TF9CBUO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1474285760&sr=8-3&keywords=google%20box&tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-21

Modelling clay and tools?
Funniest videos on YouTube book.
Pokemon go guide book if he's into that.
Make him up a movie hamper? - popcorn, juice, American sweets, DVDs, cinema gift card.

[Cheesecake53]

The birthday of mine is coming up and I took lots of inspiration from here :). I also get mine the new Rick Riordan book, the new Wimpy Kid book and the Sidmen book.

[WankersHacksandThieves]

Virtual reality headset for his phone?

What is it he is doing on the phone - playing games or being social?

Mine have an Nvidia tablet which is good for gaming.

Guinness book of records/Ripleys book. Magazine subscription.

TV or smart box for TV

[Heavenscent86]

What is an anti gravity phone case?
