My nephew turns 11 this week and whilst I'm sending cash (at his request as he's saving) would also like to send something in addition. Any recommendations would be very helpful. He has masses of lego so am avoiding that...

What's he in to and what's your budget?

My 11 year old would like a trendy t-shirt (something like element or a similar skating brand), or stickers of trendy brands like Santa Cruz, billabong, element etc

He also really liked the credit card monopoly that he had for Christmas and the small Swiss Army knife that he'll learn to use safely at Scouts.

I agree a trendy top with the logo on.. North Face seems to be popular in our area with this age group

I agree about an item of clothing. DS (similar age) would be delighted at receiving a trendy hoodie or t-shirt, maybe Converse or Superdry etc depending on your budget, or H&M for a cheaper alternative

Thank you, I hadn't considered clothes. He's very rural, so into outdoors stuff, and he might be more immature than those in towns because of location - I'm not sure if he's into clothes yet but I guess even if he's not he would wear it in a practical manner!
He's into gaming, nerf, lego, scouts. Swiss Army knife is a good shout

Ds, 10 loves Hype t shirts, Pokemon, Nerf guns, would be happy with iTunes voucher, Xbox voucher, cinema gift voucher, WH Smith voucher so he could stock up on books. Star Wars stuff.
