What the actual can I get ds1 (almost 13)

[Cockadoodledooo]

Budget only about £50.

He wants a GoPro and an Xbox One. He's aware that these are beyond budget.

He's quirky, he's geeky. Probably needs to be an online purchase because we're moving house next week and not started packing yet so no time for long shopping trips!

I've ordered a small digital video camera thing (fake Gopro) from Wish but not sure it'll be here in time.

His birthday is on the 29th as well!

All ideas gratefully received.

Raspberry Pi starter kit? I think about £54 so maybe slightly over budget.

Actually it's £42 now

Raspberry Pi

Fab idea, thanks, but he already has one.

One of the things I've got DS is one of those Philips alarm clocks that are actually a daylight light that start illuminating about 30 minutes before the alarm goes off.

What about a Fitbit type watch?

If he really wants the XBox, could you pool resources with grandparents and aunts/uncles to buy him one?

Particularly if you make it a joint Christmas-birthday present.
Not great, usually, to put them together, but I know my DS would rather have something big like the game console than a few smaller things he didn't particularly want.

Old school lava lamp? My tween dd really wants one of these.

Lots of cool T-shirts/phone cases/loungy cushions from Redbubble.com.

She also likes these Tetris lights .

Does he have access to a computer/laptop? We are getting DS a subscription to a series of online coding courses aimed at young people. It's about £8 a month DD, then they can learn C++, HTML, Java etc. If you'd like me to let you know the name, let me know and I'll get back to you!

Does he game on a pc? My ds loves his gaming mouse and light up keyboard.

Funko pops, a subscription box like Infinity Crate? My sons like gadgets and IWantOneOfThose is a good place for inspiration.

DS is getting:

Self winding Watch from Weird Ape
Gamer magazines
'Stranger Things' T-shirt & posters from Etsy
Hoodie from Redbubble
Books & DVDs
A kit to make a plant terrarium

In his stocking;
Puzzle
A book on whittling and a knife sharpener
Frisbee
A bird whistle
Novelty pens & pencils
plus sweets, gloves

Graphic novels? I got my dd 14 some batman ones

How about a stop motion animation kit?

DS2 is 12 and is having a laptop as his main present. But he is also having:
Tickets to the RSC Live screening of The Tempest
Lego Architecture Big Ben
Books (The Book Thief and The Cursed Child)
DVD (Sherlock Series 1)
Plus the usual smellies and chocolate

Quadcopter/drone with HD camera. Under £50 on Amazon!
