i dont mind spending a little more on him than the rest as they neither notice or care, but he doesnt have many presents, i would like to get him a good few smaller presents to bulk up his pile, and dont want to spend a fortune on them. wil be getting him a lynx gift set, and new pants and socks but what else can i get him please?

Books? [http://www.thebookpeople.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/qs_product_tbp?storeId=10001&catalogId=10051&langId=100&productId=186874 This]] or this might suit, both are under £5.

A washbag? Stationary/notebooks? Wallet? Keyring?

I Want One of Those has some fun things in its under £10 section, like this bacon flavour toothpaste or this wheely bin desk tidy.

What about this Doctor Who book, this Doctor Who annual or this Doctor Who encyclopedia then? I know it's books again but possibly might interest.

I've got this tardis mug for DP before, which he liked.

Some of the older Doctor Who series are not too much on DVD either (like series 1.

CherryMonster · 17/11/2011 11:59

my sister has all the series on dvd so he borrows them, already got him the annual, but the encyclopedia and guide look good. he already has a tardis mug, but your on the right track, thanks Smile

Top trumps

20Q game (simpsons one is 2.99 in home bargains)

mini meccano sets

CDs

Xmas mug

joke kit

They usually have bits in boots on 3 for 2, like build a tin robot, build a Christmas tree etc.

CherryMonster · 17/11/2011 12:12

you're thinking like me, have already got him plop trumps (grim but will appeal to him) a mini meccano set and a joke book.

My sis just bought an electric shaver for her 12 yo DS. Does he need to shave yet? You could buy electric or gilette set.

Grainger · 17/11/2011 12:20

Wallet? Belt?

CherryMonster · 17/11/2011 12:33

no he doesnt need to shave yet, and already has wallets and belts which he doesnt use. he is difficult to buy for as all he is really into is computers and dr who

Ooh, great ideas (nicks them shamelessly).

My contribution? Sporty bits and bobs, such as sock tape, goalie gloves, shinpads, boot-bag, drinking bottle........

ragged · 17/11/2011 13:58

My list has:
mechanical pencils
a poseable sport figure (in only sport he does)
Maybe some nicknack from the scouts (he recently joined & is very keen)
A Sunjar (maybe)
A new pencil case (he needs)
a craft pack for making paper robots (origami-ish)
possibly water pistol(s)
Chocolate coins

CherryMonster · 17/11/2011 14:18

great guys, thanks. have ordered the skull earphones already, he will like them. iwantoneofthose is quite expensive though, was looking at maybe half a dozen items at around a fiver each preferably.

Cherry I bought some 'iwantoneofthose' things a good bit cheaper at the 'iwantoneofthose_outlet' shop on ebay recently Smile

attheendoftheday · 17/11/2011 14:41

Yes, I use it mostly to get ideas, then search for what I want on ebay or Amazon or whereever I can get them cheaper.
