What's on your 12 year olds list this year?

[invisiblezara]

After any ideas please, my Ds has always been tricky to buy for but it's got much harder since he no longer plays with toys.
He's very into fortnite, among us and his Xbox.
I was thinking of Xbox gift cards but that doesn't seem very special to open on Christmas Day.

So far I have bought him

Pyjamas
Xbox bed set
Among us figure
Mini drone
Lava lamp
Sharpie gift set

My DS wants a gaming mouse and a gaming mouse mat

How about some sort of experience - cinema, indoor climbing, something else he might enjoy?

Basket ball
Hoop
Basketball shoes and kit
Clothes
Books

I actually find it easier now that DS no longer plays with toys…and I don’t get the crashing disappointment of spending £££ on something that is destined to never get played with!

Ideas (this includes previous hits as well as stuff on his birthday and Christmas wish list)…
Gaming headset
Gaming keyboard and mouse
One-handed keyboard
LED strip lights
Controller covers
New game
Gaming chair
Mini fridge
Light up sign
Oodie or similar
Phone screen magnifier
Battery phone case
Ear buds

My DS also loves football so he has the following on his list…
Team football kit
New ball
Tracksuit

Other things…
Clothes- cool hoodie or trainers
Books including coffee table-style books for specific interests
Chilly bottle
Rucksack for school
Poster for room
Sweets
Echo dot

He doesn’t really play with toys anymore either but he did really enjoy making a hydraulic robot arm last year (from Menkind) and we’ve bought him a V8 model engine to build this year.

VR headset but they are £££

Bluetooth shower speaker
Thumb grips for controller
Gaming chair
LED strip lights for behind TV/monitor
LED strip lights for ceiling
Alexa Dot/Show
Fortnite annual
Laptop/tablet
Camera/video camera/green screen
Among Us book (8yo DS loves the novels that have been made about Among Us/Fortnite characters)
Fish eye lense that clips onto phone
Extra long charging cable
Battery pack for phone

Another vote for echo dot. Amazon always do them half price for prime day (end of Nov some time around Black Friday I think)

Mine has asked for an analogue watch and wireless ear buds

Lego or a big board game. Character.com has some fun but nice dressing gowns (DS1, 14 still wears his Harry Potter one).

Some brilliant suggestions here, thanks all!

Ok he asked for a new football goal, fifa 22, ps subscription. So that’s the main presents.
Stocking - Man U annual, would you rather for 12 year old and Human by Matt haig. Shower set (lynx) and shower Bluetooth speaker. Exercise mat. Keyring charger for his phone. Chocolate. Little nerf gun - for when his brother annoys him 🤣

Mines getting

Bass guitar and amp
Harry Potter lego
Book
Dressing gown
Pokemon cards
Pringles lol
Monopoly card game
Tech deck
Slippers
Harry Potter mug
Baking set
Smellies

I don’t know what else to get him😩
