Nearly 11 yr DS- stuck with ideas please!

[sandyfroglets]

My son is getting a new Xbox for Christmas as his main present but I'm stuck on 'bits' for him.

Obviously he likes gaming but isn't really into branded things, ie; fortnite merch etc.

Other than Xbox he's quite a tricky one really! I am finding it hard.

I got him:

a set of books
some American sweets
Aftershave
A journal (encourage writing)
Joke book
Some stationary
Sliders
Lynx set
Pindaloo
Bath bomb
Some other sweets/chocolate
Guiness world record book
These light up thumbs to do magic tricks
A magic 8 ball 🎱

Lots of these things are 'small' and are going into his stocking. So looking for tree presents ideally. Any ideas? What are you getting your difficult to buy 10-12 year old sons?

My 12 year old has the following tree presents:

A hockey stick
Goalie gloves
A nerf football
Set of Manga books
Star wars Lego set
North Face Hoodie
An Xbox light/headphones holder

My 11 year old is having:

steering wheel, pedals and shifter for Xbox.
New Xbox controller
Jordan trainers
Tech decks ramp and additional decks
RC car
Lego
Star Wars darth Vader stretch
Boxing buddy
Toxic waste sweets
Dungeons and dragons game
Another game
Berghaus Gilet
Feisty pet
Rubik's keychain
Book set
Experience days - one feeding meercat and the other scuba diving with sharks at bear grylls place. Last year he did indoor skydiving there and loved it.

I considered getting him a drone, portable drum kit, cheap AirPods and a blue tooth hat but decided he already had enough.

@ohmyohmy123 ohhh experience days! That's a good idea!

Lego and nerf gun

I think that's loads! He will love them! But if you want bigger thibgs to bulk up round the tree, what about;
Trainers
An oodie type of thing
Blanket/throw type thing
Bean bag
Bag he will use
More books!

Good headphones / earpods?
Boxing gloves and punch bag?
Pull up bar?
Book about his favourite sport or personality..the works is good for that
Kids version of cards against humanity
