Gift for 8 year old

[muffledvoice]

Need gift ideas for ds 8 birthday coming up soon, to pass onto grandparents to buy

He's getting a large set of Lego, Fitbit, beyblades and sea monkeys from us alongside a few other bits think Rubix etc.

He's recently got a new bike (won it in competition)
He plays tennis but recently got new tennis gear
Has a telescope, hot wheels, space projector lamp, yukele, and religiously plays his tablet and games consoles.

DS absolutely hates receiving clothes or shoes as occasion gifts though so that's a no.

What can we ask grandparents to get him, budget of @around £40-£50

Some ideas for you.....

A remote controlled car is a hit with my ds - monster truck style so it can off-road.

Skaletrix or equivalent - we have a Carrera go which is great fun.

Swing ball for the garden.

Something for the bike - lights, gloves, trip computer to see how far you've gone.

A trip out to somewhere different such as a theme park or Legoland.

Hope this helps 🙂

Some great ideas there as it happens he's got a large off road remote control car and a laser one that goes up the wall too

We are actually going to Lego land for his actual birthday too

Swingball is a big hit hear already

And scaletrix he ha done and it didn't get played with

A magazine subscription? My DS had Aquila for his 8th bday and loves getting it through the post each month. He's also had vouchers for local activities e.g climbing centre or trampoline park

Has he got the Beyblade stadium?

Lava lamp

Or, money towards premium bonds or savings.

If he likes any particular team or an athlete, you can make a photo calendar with their pictures or create a poster from their photo
Something to decorate his room with, like a lava lamp or glowing stickers
