8 yr old boy ideas

[holidayelbow]

Help!! We don't know what to buy our nearly 8 yr old for Xmas.... I need ideas / inspiration.

Daughter super easy. She is getting a disco ball/speaker/microphone

He likes Pokémon, minecraft, making little worlds with sylvanian familia, the dolls house, his dinos etc

These are the best sledges we’ve ever had.
They were in Costco last time we were there but sold out really quickly last year.

Does he have a stomp rocket? My son recently turned eight and we’ve had so much fun with the stomp rocket over the years we’ve got a kind of superior one which goes so high it has a parachute! I can put the link if you like.

hes also got two games: exploding kittens and the sock game. A Roald Dahl book he didn’t have and also the newest ‘storey treehouse’ one. And I usually get him a factual book, not chosen yet but maybe on polar exploration as he is interested. His grandmother got him an ocean creatures jigsaw.

I guess his big present is something called Klask, a tabletop game described as a mix of table football and air hockey. It looks fun!

past hits have been science kits and Gravitrax.

There are some quite good Minecraft books and sets of books out there. Good for building inspiration or tips.

Does he collect the Pokémon cards? They are currently huge with the boys of that age in my DC's class. If so then maybe a tin or other set which has lots of cards plus something else special (I don't really get the whole things but it seems very popular).

Pokémon or Minecraft T-shirts.

If he likes Sylvanian families then that would be an obvious one except that 9-10 might be about the time they start growing out of those kind of toys. Similar with the dinos.

We get our kids to write a list/ letter to Santa so that we know what they want. They don't get everything on the list and they also get other things but it does help a lot in making sure they get something they like.

Thanks!! Some good ideas!

My 9 year old is into similar things. He loves a Pokémon battle pack tin - I don’t understand it for the cost but they go down well.
he also loves beyblades - last Xmas he got some with an arena.

Or gravitrax - that went down well for his birthday

Lego Jurassic World
Minecraft figures, duvet set, clothing
Switch games
Books about the things he is interested in

I will take a look at the Pokémon battle tin.

Squishmallow is already on the list. 👍

Mine is also into Pokemon in a BIG way and is getting:

Pokemon Sleeping Squirtle (he has Pikachu and Eevee already)
Pokemon Violet for switch
Flame Fight Charizard
Pokemon camera
Black panther mask and claws
Nerf gun

The Pokemon Battle Academy board game is great!
