Ideas for Christmas presents - 10 year old boy

[honkytonkheroe]

Hi, I’m really struggling with presents this year for my 10 year old DS. He doesn’t really play with toys, loves football (Spurs), dancing (needs nothing) and also board games, has a Nintendo switch and loves gadgety things like magnet sets. He has asked for a football kit. Any ideas of anything else to buy?

iPods, phone,lego,draw manga, Segway experience, football, shin pads, goalie gloves, team towel

My son is just about to turn 10. For his bday he has asked for: a gaming headset, goalie gloves, Harry Potter Lego, Marcus rashford book, lemony snickett books.

Is he into reading? Lego? Harry Potter? Bakugan? Dr Who/ Stranger Things?
Smart watch?
That’s DS list.

Have a look at the Christmas topic! There are very many threads on there which will help you.

I've just purchased the Lego Mindstorms for my 10 year old. As well as some cheap airpod equivalents.

Ours doesn’t normally like toys either but he went to a laser party at a friend’s and now wants his own laser guns . They seem really fun.

Amazon had a Black Friday sale at the moment on their kindle fires if he needs a new tablet.

If you have a garden or a nearby green a you can get a collapsible Forza Goal. DS9 loves his. He also loves exploding kittens and any of the other games that company makes.

Have a look at the wicked uncle site. Good ideas. Little bit pricey. Also I searched in amazon on before presents for ... and things come up. I got my son a popcorn maker one year and that was good.

Hoverkart and skateboard have both gone down well with my 10yo dd. How about an oodie or an accessory for the Switch e.g. one of those things to turn the controller into a steering wheel or a gun?

Thanks everyone. Some great ideas. I’m still struggling but a little less so! It’s terrible but he has so much that a lot of the things mentioned he already has. Christmas seems to come round again too soon!

Have you thought just eat voucher or nandos etc too. Makes them feel grown up ordering own food. I also got cinema vouchers at that age and he took a friend.

@tweedlewee we also like exploding kittens. Any particular game by the makers you would suggest?

By the way, have you tried Sequence? That's a really good game.
