What are you getting for your 10 year old boys?

[BrutusMcDogface]

Just that, really. He wants a gaming pc (nope) but that’s all he’s asked for.

He has pjs, dressing gown, onesie and books like my other children. They have one or two ‘main’ presents too, though.

Please inspire me! Thank you 😊

My 10 year old also asked for a gaming PC. Also a big nope (too much time on devices already). Main present is a surfboard (but we live at the beach in Australia and he surfs). He’s also getting mountain biking stuff (every second Australian boy seems to be into this fad) so gloves, pants, speedometer plus PlayStation game on biking and a few other bits and pieces.

Thank you 😊

Some ear defenders for yourselves, too?!

A Rubik’s cube but not the normal one. Games for the switch. An electric guitar (second hand) - he hasn’t asked for it but it was £30 on a selling site and he has an acoustic already and has made noises about it. Some lego and a card game.

It seems obsene. It IS obsene. But one of his uncles is really spoiling him after a very difficult year. We have had years of him not wanting anything but because of his new found interest in sport (late bloomer on that front) he has asked for sports stuff. Which makes me really happy and a little less annoyed (only a teeny bit less) on the whole gaming thing. I hate it with a passion

For those that have bought Dots, we got the DC one each for Christmas last year (then 7 and 9 For DS1 in particular, they have been used daily, they were a great buy. I did have to up my music subscription to £16 a month though so we can all play different music across all devices (we have 5 in total).
We use them as the DCs morning alarm clocks too. DS1 has his set to Hedwig's Theme from Harry Potter. He tells me it's soothing to wake up to.
