Just that really. He will have just turned 12. I've got a few bits already but would love some suggestions for stocking fillers and other cool bits and pieces

My DS will be 12 a couple of weeks after Christmas. He has his eye on a couple of PS4 games and a lightsaber kit.

I am also getting him the shorts and socks to match his goalkeeper top. I've bought him an emoji poo power bank and a toy llama like the one in Fortnite. He spotted a onesie in H&M with "Gamer" on that I picked up when he wasn't with me. Closer to Christmas I'll get him a jar filled with rhubarb and custard sweets and a bar of his favourite chocolate for his stocking.

His stocking also has fortnite themed socks from amazon and some penguin boxer shorts. I'll get a football magazine and I've spotted some bath bombs on Etsy that are shaped like a PS4 controller. Last year I put a travel version of Cluedo in that was well received so I might find something similar for this year.

Ooh some good ideas. I've added a few to my amazon basket - he will definitely like the lightsaber kit that's for sure

My son turned 12 last week and I was having a mare too! Have also just ordered Fortnite socks, a Fortnite llama and a controller bath bomb off the back of this thread. Thanks so much! He wants a laptop for Christmas so other bits will be limited.

I often put foreign sweets in his stocking. He has had Japanese kit-kats and Twixs, American candies and sodas and always a pot of American Lucky Charms. They always go down well.

The only other thing I have to add is a nasty little game called ‘Fishing for Floaters’. I think we can guess what it is...
It’s gross but he’ll find it funny

What is it with them and their fascination with anything poo Grin

My dd is 12 after Xmas and she like collecting the Funko vinyl pops, I just got an email from the entertainer today saying they’re releasing fornight Funko pops which might be a good idea?

MintyJones · 29/09/2018 17:24

Some cool ideas.

He's getting a new iPad and an updated Alexa Echo thing (he will be 12 just before Christmas hence two biggish gifts) and I like to give as many gifts as I can with spending as little as I can if that makes sense

He's obsessed with putty and slime so a few tins of that. And he loves Fortnite so I'm getting the llama. Which I didn't know anything about until today

anyone got link to fortnite llama please

Elasti plasti (Argos), it’s like stretchy slime stuff.

Dd is 12, she’s getting a Nintendo switch as a joint gift with he sister, also the Lego roller coaster set. Stocking fillers will be slime and Japanese sweets.
