Gift ideas - 11 year old boy

Need to start thinking about my nephews birthday. He's turning 11. Doesn't need any toys... he's into surfing, bmx, and baseball (lives in USA). He also likes cooking. I'm so clueless and I don't have much of budget. Help!

Cool vintage style surf t shirt? Maybe a brand that's not common in the USA?

Or a box full of English sweets. He'd probably love that actually.

Recipe book full of British recipes. And a box of traditional sweets, like cola cubes and sherbet lemons.

Money. I have 12 years old boy, and my relatives who lives abroad always gives him money, and he buys something he likes since around age 8. But if he has something he wants that we can't get here, he would ask specifically for it. Also relatives in England generally send him money too, unless he asked something. The thing is, I think children at that age appreciate £10 or even £5 rather than given something they don't use.

Oh, another thing my 12 years old like from foreign country is cool stationery that we can't get here.

Wireless headphones or gaming mouse if he doesn’t already have them.
Very British T-shirt or board shorts.
