If you give your gifts with love, nothing will be boring. Alternatively, you're just giving your son an idea of what he can expect for the next 50 years! I hope you have a very Happy Christmas

What about a cinema voucher, it's something which you might do anyway but feels like a present.
My DN loves all those nerf things, they're guns with foam bullets. Last year we got him a target thing with magnetic bullets which he has loved all year (you might not like guns though).
A kite? One of those giant bubble wands? Or one of those kits where you can hatch your own butterflies (other things too, but butterflies is what one of my DDs had)?
A calendar of his favourite tv character/band.
Musical instrument, wooden marble run - you can get some amazing sets and extras to make it more interesting, skateboard.
Er, digital camera? Football top if he supports a particular team? Magazine subscription, there are some kids ones around.

I think i've exhausted the list of things we have bought various nephews over the years!
