I bought my 13 year old son Gravitrax. It is designed for 8+. He loves it. He has ordered extra accessories for it.

He is the sort that is glued to his xbox.

Lego. Kindle fire for kids… Schleich dinosaurs.

The biggest hit this Christmas, for both my 6.5 & just turned 9 year olds were Nerf Laser guns.

My 9 year old also loved:

Gravitrax (although more towards upper end of age range would be best. It's quite tricky!)

Fart putty!

Top Trumps

Quirkle

A giant whoopee cushion that cost £3 from B&M (for my just turned 10 year old).

Lego - so so much Lego

Pens and bound notebooks to keep his drawings in

The Marcus Rashford book was a big hit here with a 9 & 11 year old, along with a football annual and also Dobble.
