I'm really struggling to buy for DS (13) and DS (10) - esp compared to DDs!

That's it really. I would be hugely grateful for ideas as I need to aim for some parity with DDs (15 and 7) who are super easy to buy for! Main presents rather than stoking stuffers which I'm doing ok on.

13 yo DS enjoys - reading, cricket, football, computer stuff, making films, his go pro, his bike, family guy, gadgets and black humour.

10 yo DS won't read a novel if you put a gun to his head but likes fact books, nerf guns, football, Lego, minecraft, making and doing things outside. We call him a budding engineer and he is high energy high testosterone.

I have got 13yo some new mounts for his go pro, FIFA 14 for Xbox, a multi- bike tool thingie ummm that's about it. I have got 10yo a mine craft light, a den kit, and ummm that's it. He has so much Lego and so many nerf guns I haven't got him any more but I could if desperate I guess...

Please please mumsnet vipers- inspire me? I would be incredibly grateful...

thanks very much everyone
I have now god DS1 a gaming beanbag (inspired idea thank you v much) and am canvassing opinions on cool trainers on the style and beauty threads. DS2 I have found on amazon an amazing looking chunky remote control car that works outside in mud, water, snow etc. They look quite good.
Lots of these ideas are so good they have got them already (like snap circuits - brilliant - and lava lamps, binoculars, headphones) - thank you v much. If I come up with anything else I will let you know!

(70s - the dartboard lives in the garage and we have had no injuries yet thank god!)

Me too Wink

Struggling with my 3 oldest DSs.

BTW The two oldest were surprisingly pleased with the glowing kindle - paperwhite - makes bed time reading easier. Got them second hand which was about £50-60 cheaper.

Celestialsquirrels, could you link to the car please. It sounds ideal for my nephew.

Op, does DS1 have any of the accessories to go with his GoPro? You can get a bit to attach to bikes/helmet/wrist/head/chest. They also do a pole extension attachment so you can get wider angle/shoot from above/below etc.
