Stocking fillers for boys age 10 and 12

[MegBusset]

They're a bit young for Lynx, fancy boxer shorts etc but a bit old for toys/ plastic tat (still getting Beano / Dandy annuals though!)

They'll be getting a portable power bank / phone charger, plus some Dairy Milk, but any other ideas for this age?

I have 10 and 12 yo boys!
So far I have got or thought about

A box of Japanese sweets, around £7 on Amazon. I bought these last year, they were fun

Rainbow bath bombs, they look like a white cloud but dissolve into lots of colours apparently

An electrical stick thing that if you hold you complete the current

Giant gummy snake

Would you rather books

A metal springy

American fizzy pop

Monopoly deal

Various joke presents like straw glasses and whoopee cushion

There’s more but I can’t remember

Rick,

Oh, yes, I second one of those electrical current things!
'Lightning Reaction'-type game.
Good fun.

(Pro Tip: keep it well away from over-competitive adults, once the festive drinks flow.
89 yr old Granny just would not be deterred )
