What are you getting your 10 year old boys?

[swizzlestix]

Any original art related suggestions welcome. He has an x box so don't want any more gadgets. He loves art and isn't sporty at all

New scooter, large Lego set, coding books, probably a 3d printing pen and circuit building kit

A hoverboard go kart, hidden side lego, boomtrix, Bluetooth beanie hat, set of books, McLaren T-shirt

My ds3 got a set of 'how to draw' books, a set of special pencils last year and a sketch book. Ds2 has also had an art set in a box in previous years.

This year it is mainly clothes, tech stuff and sports stuff.

A karaoke machine

My DS has just had his birthday and a very surprising Big Hit was a personalised graffiti wall art sticker. It looks fantastic in his room and he’s positioned his colour changing LED strip lights underneath it so it looks amazing! I was so pleased that he loved it because it was a bit of a ‘twitch’ present!

Paint pens- they can be markers or come with a water pen to blend and mix. A doodle ‘colouring book’ that leans towards his growing interest in graffiti type art, a table top easel/angled drawing board thing(!), a set of led strip lights, a little Bluetooth speaker.

If he's arty, decent markers. Ohuhu are good and not excessively pricy, DD has happily used them for a couple of years now.

DS2 is 11, he's getting:
Mario piranha plant lamp
V8 model engine kit
Nasa hoodie
Mandalorian beanie
Moon and constellation puzzle
CastQuest game
50 Things to see and do on London Underground book
Tower of Nero book

Stones, acrylic pens and paints, fine brushes, varnish and maybe a book for inspiration? We got this for my DS and it was brilliant

Fimo soft and maybe a book of ideas of things to make

Watercolour pints palette

A3 multi media pad

Some of the things my 9, almost 10 year old DS is getting are:

I'd be interested in the details of the personalised graffiti sticker if the previous poster who mentioned it sees this. Thanks

Etsy had some very similar ones but the size of this one was better for my son’s room.
