Will my 13yo DS like these presents?

[UndertheCedartree]

Do these presents seem a good balance and thinks my DS will like? He is 13, autistic and his latest obsession is Pokemon! I'll put stars next to the things he has asked for. Please no judgement about it being a lot of presents - yes, I am 'spoiling' him! I've been in hospital the past 3 years and not as au fait with what 13yos like. What do you think? I've not bought it all yet so can make some changes if necessary.

*Large Pokemon trainer/booster box
*Pikachu tin
*3 pack blister Pokemon cards
*Pokemon card album
Pokemon Galar mini tin
Pikachu cuddly
Pokemon t-shirt, pjs, socks
Pokemon calendar
The Amnesia Clinic book
Pick your own path Oregon trail book
Big ideas for curious minds book
Local area treasure hunt
Science kit
Coffee cup
Towels/toiletries/aftershave (might sound boring but he is going through a super-clean phase and will love his own towels!)
Operation game (this is to help with his fine motor skills)
One night a werewolf card game
Jelly bean gift set
Skittles selection box

It sounds like a lovely selection of well thought out gifts, he will be thrilled OP

I'm sure he will love those gifts, you've put a lot of thought into it.

Oh, thank you so much! I was just having a little confidence crisis!

He’ll love these, wonderful list.

My son will be 13 In feb and he would love those gifts

My Pokemon mad DS would love this.Sounds like you’ve done really well. Hope you have a lovely Christmas🎄

Thank you for all the replies

Sounds like one lucky boy to me I'm sure he will be over the moon x

Sounds like a lovely set of gifts 😊

Ooh, I’d recommend adding some Japanese sweets. I got DS, who is 11 and obsessed with Japan) some from www.japancentre.com as the gift sets of Amazon seem to contain things like squid sweets, which DS would not appreciate 😂. You can also get cans of pop with Pokémon characters on.

My DS will be 13 in January and he would love lots of those.

I'd be happy with that Christmas list
Werewolf is my favourite game, it does get better the more people are able to play though which may be a consideration at the moment? Looks a great list though.

My 13 year old wouldnt like these things but seems like you've put alot of thought into it. Im sure he will love it all

Lovely gifts! Add in a hoodie - teenagers love them!!

@LadyCatStark - sounds great! He likes everything Japanese!
@OldGreyBoots - yes, there would only be 3 or 4 of us playing. Would an 8yr old be able to play do you think?
@Lotsachocolateplease- he loves hoodies!

Thanks, everyone!

@LadyCatStark - just checking out the Japanese site - amazing! They have tonnes of Pokemon things!

I wouldn’t even say that was excessive. A mixture of stuff for his particular interest, practical things and books, sounds perfect 👌

Looks like a great mix of things he has asked for and great thoughtful surprises too (especially if the Japanese shop comes up with some fab pokemon stuff he didn’t know existed.

Ds will be 13 shortly after Christmas and he would love most of the stuff on this list. He also needs better fine motor control so one of the games I’m going to get him is Suspend which looks lots of fun and had good recommendations on the Christmas bargain threads on here. It’s worth tracking the price on camel camel camel as it does drop down to about half price sometimes.

Ds also likes the IQ Puzzler Pro which is worth a shot if your ds likes those sort of puzzle games.

Just be careful about buying pokemon cards/tins on amazon. I bought 3 tins as gifts and the cards were loose inside in all of them and all the good cards had been removed. They should still be inside sealed packets, even in tins. I now buy them online from Game with no issues.

this is also good for a Pokemon fan. My son is obsessed with Pokemon and loves this book. He basically taught himself to read with this as it was the only book he was interested in when he was younger.

Ahh, I have no idea what these things are but I'm sure he will be made up, you've clearly put loads of thought and effort into it.

@UndertheCedartree an 8 year old should be OK with it, though I suppose it depends on the individual. If they're good with following rules it should be fine, though it's not too complex, just dependant on people keeping things secret

@wibdib - thank you I'll have a look at those
@DaVinyl - that's terrible! Thanks for the advice.
@OldGreyBoots - hmm we'll have to see! Hopefully sooner rather than later he'll be able to get some of his friends together for a game!

I agree Amazon can be dodgy for Pokémon boxes. I've always been ok thankfully but have heard some horror stories.

You could have a look at Magic Madhouse and Chaos Cards for Pokémon cards related stuff.

Fantastic list. I am sure he will love them! I stole a couple of your ideas for my kids.
