Stocking fillers for 9 year old boy

[Toddlerfuntimes]

I would love some ideas for stocking fillers for a 9 year old. I love doing stockings but struggling for ideas as he gets older. He is into football, Lego and gaming. In the past I have managed to find loads of things but now he’s not interested in toys I’m finding it harder. Girls are so much easier to find things for as they get older. I want his stocking to be fun and filled with things he will enjoy.

Following as I'm in exactly the same situation. I've done toiletries and sweets before but could do with inspiration

Top trumps
Fidget cube/popper
Treasure X
Pokemon cards
Christmas pencils
Stationary
Charger
Chocolate stirrer
Lego mini figure
Lindt Christmas things

Bits from Tiger - we got a charger and a wind up fan pen one year.

Uno cards
Beano comic
Transfer tattoos
Crazy foam soap
Grow Your Own Venus fly trap
United oddsocks
Joke book
Maze pen
Heat change mug

Pringles pencil case
Hair gel
American candy

Top trumps, small lego and sweets basically.

This year Im attempting to become a minimalist and therefore avoid all presents "for the sake of it" so I don't know what to get at all.

Book like jokes for 9 year olds. Bubble bath. Glow sticks. Silly socks. Chocolates or sweets. Something silly and jokey like a microphone or one of those small cans made to look like a tin of peanuts and when you take the lid off out jumps a springy snake. A proper slinky for the stairs?

Fun bath bomb (shark mouth, games console or Christmas themed)
Silly putty or similar
Whoopy cushion
Yoyo
Tube of Pringles (a massive hit here!)
Cushion for bed of fave character (Harry Potter etc)
Personalised Lego figure
Personalised Match Attax
Card game (Harry Potter Uno, Monopoly bid, Uno flip etc
Fave magazine
Football Top Trumps
Annual
Krispy Kreme voucher
Football boots bag
Calendar of favourite Football team
Football trainer
Cake mug

Surprise hit here were Hype sliders and wallet

Following! Some great ideas already 🧑‍🎄🎄

Magnets
Those uv pens for invisible writing
Sellotape dispenser

Pass the Pigs
Uno
Dobble
Lego mini figures blind bag
13 Storey Treehouse books/ joke book/ activity book
Pants and socks (DS will be getting Minecraft or Harry Potter themed)
Smiggle stuff (DS loves his Smiggle wallet)
Magnifying glass
Lego mini figure torch

Lego blind bag
American sweets
Card game (uno)
Mini Lego kit
Cool pens
Bath bomb
Fidget toy
Fun pair of socks
Can of strange pop (American stores have loads)
Hair wax
Book mark
Book light
Torch

Oh brilliant ideas here!
Mine collects keyrings so I will get one or two.. Thinking of...

Football socks and shorts (needed anyway)
Sharpie markers
Notebook
Torch
Bubble bath foam

Do you wrap all stocking filler presents individually or put them straight in the stocking as they are?!

I do but only because it slows things down and I like to record a good video 😂
But I just roughly wrap in tissue and sellotape. Nothing fancy.

Shameless follow!

A comic book could be a good option

Watching

Joke book
Hotwheels car
Yoyo
Mug
Tshirt
Fluffy socks
Book light
Torch
Finger lights
Obligatory whoopie cushion
Nasa space food

Have all made appearances

The Works and the Entrrtainer both have key rings with mini board games on that are fab. They have Connect Four, Game of Life, Cluedo etc. Only £3. Other ideas:
Mini marshmallow roasting kit (in a matchbox)
Lush bath bomb
Bath slime
Jelly Belly beans
Mini microscope
Drinks bottle
New swimming goggles

Thanks everyone some great ideas 🎄

Straight in the stocking as they are. After wrapping all the presents that go in the sacks for my 5 kids, I'll be buggered if I'm wrapping a pencil and a tube of sweets as well!

@Toddlerfuntimes I use a tip I saw on another Christmas thread here and put most of the stocking fillers in little paper bags (from Ebay). You can get stripy/festive ones. I then buy sheets of festive stickers to seal them. They look great and are v quick to do.

Pringles
A can of coke/similar as a treat!
Moon ball (John Lewis sells them) we've taken ours all over in the past year
Lego keyring/luggage tag (will be other bits/pieces in Lego Shop if you're near one)
Pokemon cards
Minecraft coins (you may be able to get these on a physical card voucher - I need to look)
Fluffy socks

American sweets
Uno or monopoly card games
Lush shower jelly - twilight looks like deep space
This space bundle is great - put it in teen DS’s stocking a few Christmas’ ago.

My ds is 10 his stocking contains the following:
Terry chocolate orange
Novelty pen
Socks
Shower gel/bath bomb
Lego mini figure or brick head
Greggs gift card (his request)
This year I might get uno or an expansion pack for exploding kittens.
