13th birthday in lockdown

We were supposed to be in Barcelona for DS 13th birthday visiting the Nou Camp etc. Instead we are here in lockdown hence some quick present buying but the main things I bought look unlikely to get here in time (clothes from JD Sports). I have got in the ingredients to make his favourite tea and I am trying to see if I can find a chip shop open at lunchtime to get him kebab meat and chips for lunch (2nd favourite meal) But what can we do during the day? He doesnt want to speak to his friends etc on Zoom as apparently that is cringe. He has been playing on the Playstation with them every day so that isnt anything special. I'm just worrying it seems like a very boring day.

Arrnage with extended family to do a zoom or house party meeting?
Rent a film from sky cinema or Netflix? Popcorn?
Arrange an activity such as laying out a board game (I always find my children are much more likely to get involved with something that is right in front of them!)
Do a treasure hunt around the house?
Download a computer game
Make a maze for him to complete.. Lots of ideas on Pinterest

WitchityGrub thanks for the ideas, I think the problem is he is already a typical 'Kevin' teenager despite not actually being 13 for a few more days.
