What are you getting your 10 year olds?

We've 4 boys between 11 and 14. None of them want anything for Christmas. They don't really need anything either. So rather than buy for buying sake we've suggested a family day out. Money's been tight recently and they don't spend days together very often (2DS, 2DSS) Currently ideas have been bowling, trampolining, cinema or lazer tag and a meal. Would an experience day type present be worth looking at?

@AiryFairy1 From hobbycraft. Finer and more fluid than the pens she currently uses

If I can stretch to it.....he'd like a more grown up tablet with some animation and film editing apps.

History of the world book from "Useful Maps" with pull out world history timeline.

Big fluffy dressing gown or blanket (he has sensory needs)

That's all my thoughts so far.....

@unlimiteddilutingjuice do you have a link to this pls. My DS would love this but couldn't find anything on Google

I've bought 10yo DD a few bits so far...
Lego dots picture frame set
Posca pens with a basket of blanks
Personalised baking apron

At the moment she thinks she'd like a sewing machine as her main present. But I'm going to wait until nearer the time just in case she changes her mind which isn't unheard of!

A few other ideas are...
Animal adoption
Fahlo bracelet (saw this on another thread and they look great)
Lush snow fairy set
Perfume
3D pen
Squishmallow
Books
Bubble tea set

She won't get all of these things but I enjoy playing with ideas and she has a big extended family!

Where do you get bubble tea sets? I want one for me!! :o

@unlimiteddilutingjuice Another one here who would appreciate a link to the history of the world book Smile.

@HeyMicky thanks so much - they look fab 😍

CoffeeChocolateWine · 30/10/2022 15:36

@NoNamesLeft234678, I've only bought from the Teashed previously which was pretty good. I'm also looking at Bubble Panda this time, mainly because my DD is obsessed with pandas as well as bubble tea 😆
