Ideas for DS 9

7 replies

Onefliesoverthecuckoosnest · 09/11/2019 19:51

I am looking for ideas for what to get DS 9, for Christmas.

DD 7 is having (to give you an idea about how much we buy):

A care bear
My little pony
A few LOL surprises - tat but she loves it!
Barbie holiday set including Barbie
Ken doll (specially requested)
Barbie clothes
Scruffalove
Toy dog in a basket
Colouring books
Books
Riding helmet (she horse rides)
Sylvanians hedgehog family.

She is easy to buy for and she loves to play and gets a lot of play value from her things.

DS is more difficult. He doesn't need any tech. He has an Alexa dot, switch etc already. Games for switch not wanted and he doesn't use it a lot as it is.

We have for him so far:
A board game
Books
BTS fashion doll
Fashion design drawing book

He is into clothes, fashion, music, musical drama - extra curricular bass guitar, musical theatre and bouldering. He has a bass and an amp. He has recently got into these BTS fashion dolls and he plays barbie and dolls with his sister but doesn't want his own because he is sadly conscious about how this would be viewed by others - we wouldn't mind at all. Other than that, he has outgrown playing really.

He tends to have short, intense passions about things and obsesses about them but then doesn't stick and moves on quickly. Hence lots of previous presents inc switch, lego, Kinnex, etc have been ignored in the main. He likes the idea of sewing/drawing/painting etc but the reality is that he is lazy and does a rush job before moving on, so decent paper, pencils etc have gone to waste.

Really, outside of this groups, he spends his free time skateboarding and watching teen theatre school dramas and musicals on the TV.

DVD's etc no good because we download and stream films and music.

Idea please?
TIA.

My oldest ds is 19 and loved polly pocket toys when he was younger! He had loads of sets one year - admittedly he used to pretend they were his cousins when people came round.

My Ds8 and ds10 are having similar things

Godzilla giant figure
Harry Potter invisibility cloak
Smiggle money safe
Smiggle alarm clock
Stikbot animation kit
Cheap go pro camera
Archeologist set
Horrible history books
Magazine subscription
Trainers
Clothes
Onesie
Fortnite nerf blaster
Xbox controller
Headphones
Colour change pens and colouring books

Last year they had echo dots, light board, hot wires that went down well.

Definitely show tickets. Our kids absolutely loved School of Rock this year and there are great prices on tickets.
Will try and think some more, he sounds like he might like face paints and glitter tattoos or similar or it could be a joint thing between him and his sister. Maybe UV face paints and a UV light?

Football boots
Personalised boot bag
PS4 minecraft

Fortnite stationary
Sweets
Books

No main present - he asked for bits, so that's what he's getting :)
