I'm having last minute doubts about what we're getting for DS!

What are you getting for yours?

My 10 year old s getting a the pokemon game and controller for the nintendo switch, and a the nintendo labo game for the nintendo switch. Fornite is free to play on the switch if that helps! The switch was a "family gift" randomly in the middle of the year, although realistically he is the only one who plays it as his brother is much younger.

Mine is getting a weekend away at a place he's always wanted to go.
No point in more stuff and he hates technology.

My 10-yr old and 11-yr old are getting a joint present of a desktop computer and yes, it is a gaming computer. They got a joint present of a gaming laptop last year.

But they both have ASD and computers are very important in this household. That's what we spend our money on.

(Also, World of Warcraft Classic comes out this summer so we need to be geared up.)

The kano is a really good bit of kit and on sale I think. You can learn coding via scratch, hacking Minecraft etc. It has YouTube on it too and internet access. No console type games.

If your child is techie I would recommend it.
