Presents around the £10 mark for 11yo boy

We do Santa sacks rather than stockings with slightly larger gifts than stocking fillers. Not a problem for the girls, but really struggling to find things between £5 and £15 for DS11. He's doesn't have a games console and not into football. I've got a couple of art things, but just totally lacking inspiration this year. Any suggestions gratefully received.

Card game? Lots of small things around that price…

Will have a look at card games.

He's got a couple of books, and wouldn't think of toiletries as much of a present!

Thanks

Uno is a good fun card game? If he’s 11 does he start to spend time with his friends alone? A voucher? Costa.. etc?

Guinness book of records? Thick warm novelty socks, Bath bomb?

Magic sets, my son has asked for an inflatable microphone and guitar, bath bombs, set of books....gone series or young Sherlock, ticket to the cinema, set of chilli sauces/tobacco sauces, body warmer (Obviously shop around to get one in budget - trespass online or m and m direct), t-shirt, socks, pants, ingredients to make a homemade pizza/cookies/cake etc.

Old fashioned construction kit - Airfix type

Card games - exploding kittens is good, uno flip, monopoly deal (it is a short card game not the marathon board game), scrabble, chess - but if you get games you have to play them otherwise they are useless!!

A nice box of chocolates. (My son had those on his list at 11 - made him feel very grown up I think).

I’ve got mine a big water bottle to keep by his bed.

Wallet? Keyring?

My DS2 is 11 and has got those in his stocking ready for High School.

WineGetsMeThroughIt · 12/12/2021 07:32

My son received this book for his 10th birthday. He really enjoyed it. Bonus is that it's only £5 so you could add on another book or a box of chocolates too! amzn.to/3oK1P6W

He loves fact books so I've got him this one for Christmas amzn.to/3yksASH

I've also got him this game which looks fun! amzn.to/3lYuRxF

Would he like any of those?

Good thinking....is your son y6 or y7? If year 6 then start thinking about stuff for secondary school - next school bag, new water bottle (Mine have a flask like a Chilli bottle but with a better lid to drink from), a maths set of rulers and compass, protractor, set square etc, a scientific calculator etc etc
