Help with presents!

Hi I need to find a gift or two for my nephew. 8 year old and not into toys at all! I honestly don't have a clue what to get him l, his parents don't know either as they have struggled aswell. So if anyone has a boy around that age who's not into toys what have you got him? Budget is £50 but max around £80

Could you get him vouchers for the zoo or day out (science museum or whatever/ cinema voucher) ?

Gas he hobbies- guitar? Sports clothing?

I've got my 7 yo DS (also not massively into toys) a 3D puzzle of the Eiffel Tower.
A craft kit - he enjoys simple sewing.
He's into Harry Potter as well so he's getting robes and a wand.

Last year I got him a book on how to look after Giant African Land Snails and told him if we read it together and he wanted one after that he could have one as a pet. He did so we've had one since February, it's easy to look after, he does most of it himself and loves having 'his own' pet.

Lava lamp. Robert dyas have some good ones and other great gifts too

A duvet cover and a fleece blanket with a character he is interested in. One of my boys asked for a new lamp and a clock for his room.

If he has access to a laptop or tablet the HUE animation set is great. It’s a stop motion kit and easy for kids to use.

Got my 7 yo a personal CD player. V cheap on eBay for brand new. Ours was £7. We have some books that had CDs with them, if he takes well to listening to them, I plan to get him the Roald Dahl audio books. Music CDs are really cheap as well.

Also got him a telescope.
