I need ideas for what to get my nephew for xmas. He's quite boisterous, never still, plays nintendo switch.

I'm either going to put together a 'stocking' of sorts with lots of bits or just buy one present. Budget of about £20

I've got 7 & 9 year old boys, one likes Lego the other likes electronics/Meccano/chemistry/science sets. Both love nerf guns.

Den building and army/survival also very popular the oldest is getting bear gryls book and camouflage tarpe & netting.

A dodgeball tag vest kit:

2 mesh vests with velcro targets. Velcro (soft foam) balls.
Avoid your opponent's missiles landing accurately.

Optional arm shields (also velcroed!) with some.

Means active kids run off a lot of excess energy outside!

Make sure you compare a few different brands/sites/reviews, though: the kits vary massively in quality and durability.

Cousin's 9 yr old's set was £14ish a couple of years ago, is very well-used and still wearing well.
