£10-£15 present for boy 12

[GiftChoiceHelp]

I've got my younger cousin in family secret santa and I don't know what to get.

I haven't seen him in a few years so not even sure what he's into and it's not a particularly big budget.

We do a big family secret santa for our get together, it's much better than pesents for all. I'm really happy to spend this just need some ideas.

Funny presents work too. But I'd prefer it not to be a complete gag or for the joke to be at his expense!

I've a 12 year old, I'd get a £10 PlayStation or xbox card (whatever he uses), freeze dried sweets and a little Linx sent - if he is like my son hel be obsessed by Aftershave and Deodorant.

Or you could message a parent and ask for ideas? They may have a xmas list, though my kids haven't even mentioned Xmas yet so maybe not.

Never even heard of the sweets thats a fun round up gift.

I should have said vouchers/cash are banned.

but SECRET santa

LED lights from Amazon were a big hit with mine this age

You can definitely get them for £10-15

I'd thought about lights but was worried they might seem 'girly'. Are near teenage boys into them too now?

Yes, especially the gamers. They like to put them around the console/computer and feel like YouTubers 😂

Cadburys do those giant dairy milk bars on Amazon, currently £9. Search Cadbury 850g. Not kidding they’re HUGE.

LED light strips are different to fairy lights. They give the room more like a spaceship feel.

Canvas type wallet from a young man’s clothing brand or sports brand

I was just going to say LED strip lights!

Aww it's odd how much younger kids seem now compared to when I was growing up 30ish years ago.

lights are a definite maybe then

Lego Set.
If he hates it they are easy to sell on Facebook or wherever.

light STRIPS that makes more sense. I was thinking fairy lights 😱

He's not that bothered about chocs

loves lego but gets those from parents and saves himself. I don't know which ones he has. And is 10-15 even enough to get a set?

My DS was also LED light obsessed at that age. His room looked like the Starship Enterprise, it was pretty cool tbf.

These type of lights op, that aged boys love them especially if they're into gaming

Yes I get it now thanks. You want to do all my shopping 😆

Yip my ds whole room is glowing in strip lighting but he could well already have some.

Does he do any sports?

@GiftChoiceHelp there's loads of sets under £15 - I prefer the smaller ones.
Other ideas -
Nice copy of a classic novel.
Beginner Airfix kit.

Do you know if he likes football? You can get a fake football kit from DHgate for £15. Great copies. Shirt, shorts and socks.

Another vote for strip lights - my teen boys love them.

You can get some cool light up keyboards, I bought a 12 year old a rainbow light up one. Unsure of where they start price wise

Rubix cube and couple of bags.of haribo?
I have DS12 and DS10 - and they are all so different I'm what they like! Mine aren't at all sporty, and it is hard to find things on that price bracket. A couple of stocking fillers I've got them is a trio of FCUK body sprays and a small 1 player games each - "smart games" from on Amazon. Hopefully they will like those.
Also got them a fake oodie each - got some from primark last year.

@GiftChoiceHelp there's a set of a Rubix Cube (as suggested above) in The Works that has some of the other style puzzles too.
