He likes Minecraft but won’t wear a dressing gown , only likes the game . I’ve got him some books on it and some swimming trunks , a water bottle . some other books I think he will like me reading to him . A couple of Lego sets . This I think will be from Santa , but I’m looking for other ideas people may have . I’ve also noted down scratch cards from another thread as that sort of thing interests him

What about Minecraft bedding?

Does your son have any sensory needs that are worth leaning into? We bought my son a box of fidget toys last year and he's played with them constantly all year. Other sensory gifts that have gone down well have been:

Furry Oodie
Soft toys

Sorry - posted too soon!

Also:
slime
Bubble lamps
Oil timers
Headphones

Our son also tends to like things that are not typically toys. Last year he got a pocket torch, which he loved. And this year he wants a label maker and tape.

I think he might like some fidget toys . And the bedding is also a good idea

My similar age ASD son has enjoyed a Rubik’s cube and a little tin of putty for recent presents. Minecraft magazine subscription?
