My cousin is in Oz and I'm sorted for her 4 year old girl but she has a 9 year old baseball playing son. So present ideas if you will. I don't have any 9 year old in my life here in the UK. I'm going to order something from Amazon Australia. My budget is £20 max I'm a bit skint.

A BB/airsoft gun? Not sure what the rules on them are in Australia but you can get ones that are well within your budget. Boys love playing with toy guns and Australia has plenty of open space for shooting. The £20 ones are so low-powered they're pretty safe, I'm talking ones that fire plastic pellets that struggle to pierce a sheet of paper. You could get some cheap goggles for them too.

I think he would love that I'll check with his mum. I don't have an opinion either way about guns but I'll checkGrin

I don't think you can go wrong with a Lego set, maybe remote controlled car?
Just avoid any slime kits, etc. and you'll be fine.
