Hi everyone,

My Mum's cousin's son and his wife are visiting with their son for Christmas this year. No idea what to get for the son Confused AIBU to ask you what I could buy the son for Christmas?

He's 10, but I've no idea what he likes or is interested in. Can't afford to spend that much money as I'm job-hunting and also have 11 other family members to buy for.

Any ideas what I could get him please? I was thinking some sort of chocolate and/or sweets with something else small? Any ideas what that could be?

Thanks :)

Budget christmas pjs (can get for £5-£10 from supermarkets) and a tube of christmassified sweets for £1?

Oooh good idea Little :) thanks! No idea what clothes size he is though! He's 10 and turning 11 in March, so should I just get the 10-11 size?

2nd cousin once removed?
Anyway maybe an amazon voucher?

I'd get age 10-11. Alternatively christmas slipper socks - cheaper and less risk of getting the wrong size?

Noooooo. Not xmas pjs- pointless at Christmas as it’s over and boring for a child to receive!!

Sweets- great idea, always goes down well. What about a tin money bank from the pound shop as well with £5 worth of coins in it. And then £4 spent on chocolate/sweets. =£10

Iceland do a mini sweet shop with small jars of sweets for £6
