Presents for a 7yo DS who is no longer excited about material posessions

He's my youngest and the popular toys have been done to death already. Legos, Nerf guns, RC cars, tablet devices.

what we don't have yet is a Nintendo Swith, however, we do have other consoles and enough of screen entertainment already. His bday is just before Xmas so a big party is pretty much out of question.

@EineReiseDurchDieZeit

Is "no longer excited by material possessions" some sort of new polite euphemism for "extremely spoiled and rudely ungrateful" by any chance?
Grin this is brilliant.

I think recognising that he doesn't want more stuff is brilliant actually. My DD is the youngest of 3 and you do end up with more passed down toys so want less.
We did a 'feed the lemurs' at South Lakes Animal Oasis in the summer and it was really lovely. If he likes animals maybe something like that where you get a fun experience?

A trip to Harry Potter, theme parks, experiences like go carting or paint balling?

His name on the next Mars Rover? It's free!
