I am looking for a ‘wow’ present for my DS and struggling! But little ideas include:
Gaming headset
Touchscreen gloves
Hornby stuff
Books
Exploding kittens
Slippers
Not very exciting I know!

I'm stuck too - can think of little things but not a big gift.

So far, I have:
band t shirts
books
American sweets hamper
more bloody x box games
another bloody x box controller
tickets for a show/event (but he knows about this one)
hoody from TV show he likes

None of it is amazing Sad.

Agree virtual reality headset - DS tried one in the US on holiday and really wants one.

13yo DS is getting a bird of prey experience day as his main present. He couldn't think of anything he wanted except 'surprises', so that was helpful Xmas Hmm... From siblings he's getting a (cheap) digital weather station thing and a wildlife photography book.

Bonfires we gave him DH's old iPhone 6 reconditioned and back in its box for his birthday, and his reaction was priceless - he just stared at it with his mouth open for ages + is still saying weeks later that he can't believe it, best present ever, etc. Hope your DS is equally delighted!

Thanks artful, I suspect he will have the same reaction, he’s been desperate for it but he thinks I traded it in for my new phone. 😄

The bird of prey experience sounds amazing! I’d like to do that!
