Gift ideas for 8yr old DS please!

[SpanishFly]

So DS2 aged 8 has written his letter to Santa. He'd just like some surprises, please. Which is lovely. But nothing is inspiring me.
He has a cheapo tablet, got a Switch for his bday, and DH has the gaming consoles so we defo don't need anything like that. I'm stuck.
Ideas would be much appreciated - cheap and expensive ideas will all be considered!
Thanks so much xx

Does he like music? Echo dot?
3D pen
Bloxxels to make games on his tablet
Lego
Bike
Flick scooter
Football goals
Switch game and extra controller
Camera

Any particular interests etc?

What are his interests?

Ds8 asked for Star Wars Lego and Gravitrax. We got those to him and some other little things. He is into Lego, space and Star Wars.

great ideas so far, thanks so much - he likes his Switch and being outside playing, usually with Nerf guns etc.

I`m buying 8yr old dgs a fitbit.

brilliant, thanks - he got Laser X for his bday.
Do any of you have it? My 2 DSs are a bit disappointed in it, as the other player's gun isn't disabled for a few seconds once they get hit. You win the game if you shoot the opponent something like 8 times, but it does seem a bit weird that they aren't frozen out for a few seconds after being hit. Unless we're doing something wrong?

PS I've ordered Bloxxels this morning - it looks amazing

and possibly because he recently said he wanted it, even though I thought I was all done a waffle maker ?!? Still deciding if I will twitch or not.

If you have B&M bargains or Homebargains near you, worth a wander round there - some good bargains to be had although there is a lot of tat too!
