Hi there
Need ideas for something in the region of £15 for my best friend's DS who will be 9 on Saturday.
He likes reading, martial arts, science, and past that I'm stuck!
I don't want to ask the parent for ideas if I can help it.
Be great to order something on Amazon Prime today ideally.
Thanks for any suggestions anyone can offer?

To clarify. He is 8, turning 9.

Create this book/Finish this book journals. They're always been a hit around that age group with my kids friends.

There are Science Museum kits and other similar items for around that price, I think.

Pokemon cards. All boys seem mad for them even nerdy kids as they like to learn the facts about each Pokemon.
