So far he has...
PS4 game
Bloxxels
A book
Smart watch (xiaomi mi band 3)

Will also get a board game, a cactus, sweets and chocolate
What else can I get? It feels far from exciting so far!

Sounds pretty exciting to me. Stuff gets more expensive at this age, so I don't think they can expect loads of things like they might have done when they were younger.

My DS is 14 and absolutely the only thing he wants is PS4 games. After a huge amount of prompting he suggested my parents buy him a hoodie (my parents like clear instructions for presents and don't "do" tech or tech related, which makes it harder) but really he's not that fussed about clothes. He has loads of books he hasn't read and we have a bookcase full of board games we hardly ever play so not buying any more of them!!
The only other bits on my list are headphones and Lynx toiletries.

(So I've been no help at all, just sharing my pain!)

I have bought my 13 yesr old ds a super car driving experience, a hoodie, rucksack and a superdry tshirt so far. Will also probably get him some books and a board game

DS 13 just wants basketball shoes this year.
However a new XBox game is bound to appear. Unexciting really as these days it's just a code.
I'll get some Lego technic for him as he's never quite ready to leave it behind.
He also enjoys those Haynes Manuals so I'm getting one for Zombie Survival.

Can 13 yo do driving experiences @vintagenurse - DS is car mad. Can you tell me which one you've got?

My nearly 12 year old would love to drive too!

My younger boys are 14 and almost 12 so similar to your DS. Between them they are asking for:
Xbox one games
Clothes
Trainers
Harry potter Lego
Nerf guns
Pop vinyls (funko pops)
DVDs
Books
Headphones
Gaming chair
Plus for stocking fillers they will get sweets, stationery, socks, merchandise related to things they like (eg football team, harry potter etc) and so on.

My 12.5yo got his main gift (grudgingly!) 2 weeks ago, a bike because he uses his everyday and his old one was on its last legs!

Other than that he has;
Rubik's cube
Hot Wheels stunt box
Ferrari F50 model building kit
Bike bottle cage and water bottle
Reese's favourites selection box

Stocking;
Giant Toblerone
2x mini cans of Fanta
Chocolate coins
Rubber duck bath bomb
Car enthusiast book
Bike computer (for the speedometer)
