What are your 8 year old boys hoping for?

[Mallowmarshmallow]

DS will be 8 before Christmas so I need double the ideas. I think we're going to venture into gaming and get a switch lite but other than more lego, I don't have any other ideas.

I'd appreciate any ideas of what your 8(ish) year olds are into....

This STEM circuit science set.Suspect quite a lot of adult input will be required though

DS had a switch aged 8. Aged almost 10 he wants a ps5 and gaming chair 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Ds at nearly 9 has mentioned a stunt scooter.

New bmx bike for mine. Plus I'd like to get him a smart watch.

DS is 9. Some ideas I have for him are Harry Potter duvet cover, Hedwig cushion, Lego (Harry Potter, Ninjago, Minecraft), National Geographic science set, Floor is Lava game, Hungry Hippos game, Harry Potter Dobble, 52 Storey Treehouse books & joke book.

For his birthday he got an Archery set and giant inflatable pass the pig game (he loves the original version too). Also loves Uno.

my 7 and a half year old is getting

• tickets to hot wheels Monster trucks live
• gravitrax
• a football kit/ personalised football
• a lego dots pen pot
• a rubix cube

Gravitrax pro expansion set
Skateboard
Radio controlled car
Acoustic guitar

My 8yr old is all about Playmobil knights and battles at the moment so we will go with it and enjoy it while we can. He would also like Lego and a large plastic Godzilla monster.

My almost 8 year old is all about beyblades

He wants a gold beyblade and a stadium

My 8 year old is getting from various people:
Beyblades and stadium.
Pokemon game for switch.
England football kit and football boots.
And quite a few puzzle / board games

And a klask game which he plays whenever we go into the local board game shop

If you could possibly stretch to it, the normal switch is more versatile.

My son is 7ish and he wants a skateboard and the Luigi Haunted Mansion game for his birthday/ Christmas.

My 8yo gets good use out of his switch.

Remote control cars are also a big hit here.

My seven year old would like
Bakugan
Lego Mario
Orbeeze the one where you crush them 🙄
Flip slide
Hexbug space

My x2 boys will be aged 7 & 10 at Christmas want

Keyboard
Drone
Smashers
Treasure X
Scentos set
Jurassic world duvet cover
Baby yoda stuff
Pokemon stuff
Magic mixie? Although £70 I'm not sure.
Dinosaur stuff

Mine has asked for playmobil

back to future delorean car
City action swat truck with lights!

He has a stunt scooter... so New wheels, grip tape and grips

Apart from that I've run out of ideas!

Playmobil Scooby Doo here, and pokemon cuddly.

My youngest will be 8 just before xmas, he is looking for some extra Minecraft add ons (xbox). He wants something to play music, so I am thinking of some sort of smart speaker. Family usually get him lego, books - he loves to read, and some game for all the family.

Mine is 9 around Christmas. He is asking for:
Switch
Stunt scooter
Gravitrax
Harry Potter Lego

Super mario Lego
Playmobil

He has pretty much every toy ever. I’m not keen on getting another gaming device or screen so I’m going to reread this thread in the hope of ideas.

@Voiceofreason92 can I ask where you found the hot wheels live tickets (and where it is) please? I've got 2 boys that would love this!

Mario Lego
Bean bag
Microscope
Hexbug battle bots
Cricket bat
Badminton set

I got them here. Its in January- London or Liverpool.
My boys are obsessed with hot wheels. They will love this

@Voiceofreason92 thank you. I just googled and it's in Glasgow at the start of January so that's us booked. Mine are obsessed and now I'm delighted to have a big present done already. I've been checking for this or monster jam for ages aswell but would have missed it if it wasn't for this thread.

Just turned 8yo DS has so far got some clothes from hype, a watch, loads of new books - loves reading, a s'mores kit, and potential ideas are sledging tickets to our nearest snow dome, Harry Potter cluedo, 360 dobble, a switch game, and an icecream, donut or waffle maker.

For his birthday, main presents were Harry Potter studio tickets and an afternoon tea voucher for somewhere local which he was chuffed about.

Other hits were a video recorder, a Diablo, the blokus game, stomp rocket and aerobie.
