Ideas for party bags for 11 year old boys

My son is having a sleepover for his birthday - does anyone have any ideas for party bags for 11 year old boys. Budget is £7 to £10 per bag - there are only 4 kids in total so I can splash out a bit!

What about a football each?

They're not the greatest makes but some of the cheaper sports shops do Mitre or Sondico ones for about £8 each.

DS is 11. Last sleepover we had, we went to a trampoline park type place, let them all pick some crisps, sweets etc. from local B&M & ordered pizza. No party bags required, think they’re a bit old for that now.

Bit old for party bags at 11 surely. Piece of birthday cake in a napkin is perfectly acceptable and expected in these parts.

Sweet cone and amazon voucher. Not bubble wands and bouncy balls 🤣

My son went to a sleepover at that age and the mum gave them an empty party bag and a fiver each to go to the nearby shop to choose their own treats. Lazy ass genius she is - they loved it!

Love this!
Mine are in their 20s now, but wish I'd thought of it years ago.

We just had DS 11th and the party bags were very popular. We had various sweets, a small water gun (summer here) to use at the party. One of those silicone friendship bracelets and a matching keychain for them to hang on their backpacks.
His friends have still been using the keychains and wearing the bracelets.
