My parents have got him an astronomy book and some Harry Potter Lego.

He’s getting snooker cues, Harry Potter clothes, footballs, magnetic dartboard, switch games, new headset, replacement controllers, build a bear Dobby, board games, HP oodie, can’t remember what else. His stocking seems to need a few bits though, he has very little in it compared to his big sisters, will have to have a quick think about that!
I think he seems a young 10 based on some of these responses

Monopoly, a pug onesie and a book

The problem is that I’ve never been a ten year old boy (🙄🤣) so I struggle to get excited by any of this. Sadly (very sadly) he’s gone off Lego as I bloody loved getting him that.

I have now ordered him an extension pack for fortnite (I think that’s what it is, anyway?! He asked for it so won’t be a surprise!), some steering wheel thingies for his switch controllers and a board game.

Thank you all 😊

I was thinking that about mine! I love it.

@dashoflime

Mine is a very old 11, so I wouldn’t worry about what others like. Mine has a nearly 17 year old brother who he idolises so has very grown up tastes.

Weve got our 10yo some Warhamner figures to paint. Other presents (from everyone, not just us) include a kids fitness watch, a pyrography set, board games, gardening stuff, scout camp blanket, sports bag and lego.

Risk board game
Wood whittling kit
Zelda & Mario Smash for switch
A stack of books both fiction & non-fiction
Extra set of joycon
WWF polar bear adoption (he asks for a different animal every year)
Sherbet lemons
