What are you getting altogether for 9/10 year old son?

DS, 9 is getting
2000 pipe cleaners (!) for his mad monster model making sessions
An ice cream maker (2nd hand)
A crystal growing kit
2 small Lego sets
A Star Wars dressing gown
A book about beetles
And 3 fiction books

In his stocking
Boggle
Hot chocolate bombs and a Christmas mug
And Bath bombs

@Wejustdontknow where is the giant chubby seal from please? Ds wants a giant plushie of some kind but I've seen pretty poor reviews on some I've found.

DS is getting;
Switch game
Pokemon cards
Superthings
Board games (throw throw burrito, bears vs babies, top trumps, Minecraft uno)
Microscope set
Books
Dandy & Beano annuals
Mario water bottle
Mario bath bombs
Fidget toy set
Fuzzie wuzzie money bank

Not an lawful lot compared to others here 😳

From us:
One switch game
A set of 4 figurines

From Santa
One switch game

He’ll most likely get some Pjs and a few silly stocking fillers

Three lego sets
Sports stuff
RC car
A book

I need to get him some small 'Santa' presents.

@EnglishGirlApproximately it’s just off Amazon, it was £33 and is being delivered tomorrow so I’m happy to come back and let you know what it’s like/upload a picture

@Wejustdontknow that would be great if you could. I'd bookmarked a Japanese import site but the reviews said they were smaller than pictured and very flimsy!

Our ds. 9 has asked Santa for an Xbox s. And for me and DH to get him a lava lamp and gift card to spend on computer games

We also got him
Rubix cube
3D printing pen
Tie dye set
The beano annual
Foam pogo stick

new xbox controller
scooter (one that goes to adult size)
rubix and other puzzels
note book
laser tag guns
nerf guns

he's asked for a better chair for his desk but he's getting that for his birthday a couple of weeks after Christmas

Thanks all

@EnglishGirlApproximately chubby seal has arrived and I’m quite impressed, it seems like good quality and is a decent size. It would have been nice for it to have slightly more stuffing in my opinion but I think ds will be very happy with it. This is the one I bought in large

Assorted smaller bits.

Main gift is a metal detector! He wants to go treasure hunting.

My dad is getting him a little cybershot type camera (not Sony), he got good binoculars for his birthday along with a book about local birds.

Then there's an army rucksack (just a basic army-green rucksack from decathlon!), giant fluffy onesie, one funk pop of Agent Peely from Fortnite, and random stocking stuff.

He's just turned 10 and that's a tough combination of gifts between that and Xmas.

Blow pens

Since his main gift is the PC you could give the gifts that relate to the PC / gaming theme - desk, light up keyboard, bluetooth headphones, Minecraft game, Minecraft plushie and water bottle, PS4 game, PS4 controller, switch game. Depending on the size of his stocking, you could put the games and PS4 controller in there in place of the cheap stocking fillers.

@ilovemypussycat
