I have a 9 year old that isn't into anything that other 9 year old boys seem to be - no video games, consoles, robotics, programming, clothes etc.
He does like football though.
This year, he is having (from everyone, and including his stocking, this isn't just from me and DH)

Wash kit for when he goes on sleepovers
Craft stuff including those plaster of paris moulds that you paint and display
Melissa and Doug stained glass art
