Just that really... He's into football and gaming but I'm looking for more generic things that your kids enjoyed around that age. Thanks!

My 8 year olds favourite gift last year was a hot water bottle and fleece cover. He is delighted with the cold snap we’re having.

Around that age I bought a set of walkie talkies and they were played with for a good few years.
