Present ideas for 8 year old

7 replies

I'm looking for present ideas for an eight year old boy. He's not really into traditionally boyish toys, he likes crafts, and does gymnastics / acrobatics. I have bought him 'amazing facts' type books in the past which have gone down well. Budget £10ish. Thank you.

My DS likes paint/colour by sticker books. I’ve seen one in The Works www.theworks.co.uk/p/crafting-books/kaleidoscope-sticker-mosaics---wild-creatures/9781488932458

Wreck this journal/Finish this book type books. I've bought Wreck this journal for a few 9 year olds this year and apparently I'm the best Grin
