I need to get some presents for a friend's children - could anyone with children these ages suggest what might be good presents? Budget £10 - £15. Thank you!

For teens a cinema, Nando’s H&M or online store voucher eg amazon, apple, google play, always go down well.

However, I’m desperately looking for ideas for a “real” present that can be wrapped for an 11 yr old boy, that’s not a voucher, so I’m hoping that you get some more replies!

All so individual but 11 year old boys very difficult especially at £10-15 price point. Bits & bobs I/family have gotten for son (non-sophisticated yr6!!):

Fortnite cuddly llama (eBay)
Scratch off world map
IQ puzzle Rush Hour Traffic Jam (apparently they were using these at his Secondary school open day event and he loved it, good price on Amazon at the mo)
Woolly hat with light (suggestion from here!)
G Book of Records/ Ripleys B or Not
Lego Klutz book
Travel Quiz (M&S)
Abandoned Cabin Escape Room Game for Home (one use only but looks fun - Amazon)
Space Food
Also voucher for in-app purchase as not normally allowed these (home-made)

For my nearly 11 year old:
Slippers
How to draw Fortnite stuff book from Amazon
Guiness Book of Records
Magnetic slime
American sweets

Love the idea of the homemade voucher above.

Fortnite Funko Pops are new this Xmas and less toy like than the action figures they sell at Smyths etc

Ripleys Believe it or not

Thank you - some excellent ideas here.

Ripley's and the Guinness Book of Records have been suggested - I've ordered Ripley's for 2 x 9 year olds and GBoR for a 7 year old. Will they be a bit too young for these??
