Present ideas for 8 year old

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.

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
