Guinness book of records and Ripleys Believe it or not. Glowing skulls from ikea that you can style with hats/glasses/wigs etc. body wash set. I saw a nice Baylis one in Tesco today - it had sharks on it and was in a tin can.

If you're on Facebook have a look at the Jurassic Jim page. He posts lots of fossils and similar items at really great prices. I've bought several bits over the years for DS (who is now 10).
Archery set.
Slush Puppie machine.
DS loves the Lego set 21320 - dinosaur fossils.
Scratch & shimmer spirograph

This is a great magic set which is easy enough for a ten year old to work out on his own www.marvinsmagic.com/product/rubiks-amazing-box-of-tricks/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5P6r4Kyb-gIVysLtCh3gkAXOEAAYASAAEgK7_PD_BwE

Dig your own fossils and Crystal sets have gone down really well here.

a crystal encyclopedia

Some small individual crystals for stockings

my son wants the magnetic filings in a glass bottle you can move.

hobbycraft have a great sale on at the minute for these expensive pro markers my son likes. I think they're Newton and Windsor.

DS(9) is keen on insects and we got a pop up stick insect kit.

I’ve used Tesco points to get a kids Fitbit for him. Other than that Lego is still a bit hit in our house.

I’ve got my 10 year old some Pokémon plushies from www.pokemoncenter.com/en-gb/category/plush
he collects them 😊

bakugon- they’re kind of Pokémon crossed with tiny transformers!!
