My 13yo son quite literally has no idea what he wants for Christmas. Does anyone have any good tips? Interests are football and gaming

I have a thread asking the same, I'll find it and bump it up-there are some good suggestions. They are a nightmare age!

Does he need anything upgrading or replacing?
My ds will get a new headset and controller amongst his gifts

Football table

Soda stream

If you have the space for it, I got my DS a (small) pool table for his 13th birthday and it's been a massive hit and a total lifesaver during lockdown. Plus it's got him off the PS4 for a while...

For Christmas, there's nothing big he wants/needs so I'm getting him a lot of smaller things...games, books, clothes etc

How about an experience?
In the past we've bought driving lessons, flying lesson which he did with dh and a lads and dads tank driving experience.
You can use virgin experience days to book.

Thanks - that's helpful. A pool table would be great but not sure we've got the room

My son is 13, there's nothing major he wants this year - he toyed with the idea of the Oculus Oculus VR but gine off the idea now (already has the PS one and loves it) and he always debates over a new phone but his birthday is in March so there's always the chance to get the phone then.
We're moving house in January so time and money short this year. He's getting Nike and Adidas gear (always great discounts on their sites)a manga book, smellies, PS4 Live annual subscription, probably some games and then likely just money. Definitely not had the chance to get as much as usual this year.
The experience days are a great idea. My son got a skydiving one last year but due to the pandemic he's not done it yet.
