Non-sporty 10yo boy

I'm really struggling with idea for my 10, nearly 11 yo son.

He plays one sport, but is not sporty and definitely not into foot lol. He's learning guitar, but has loads of plucks etc and a reasonable guitar.

He enjoys reading and gaming and so far, we will be getting him some more Warhammer bits, a game for his Switch and a set of books.

Can anyone please suggest some other ideas - tree or sticking, for a boy like this please?

A good torch, some magnets, sour sweets, cosy socks or an interesting hat all go down well here!

Extra joy cons for his switch or switch pro controller.
LED lights for his room.
Oodie (real or cheaper alternative)
Velvetiser or similar (cheaper) alternative.
Pop vinyl figures in a theme he would like
Popcorn maker
Gaming chair or beanbag for his room

DS will be 10 just after Christmas and is similarly unsporty (although he is really into a physical AR e sport that I have bought a hoodie for). He also has dyspraxia and struggles with anything like Lego, Gravitrax etc.

He has asked for lots of Yu Gi Oh cards and surprises, so far he has:

  • Lots of Yu Gi Oh cards
  • A high backed pillow for his bed, he’s recently understood the concept of lying in and likes to play Roblox in bed so this will get lots of use
  • Some bottles of Prime and a Prime stress toy
  • A Demon Slayer replica sword
  • Demon Slayer Tamagotchi
  • Some Japanese sweets and snacks

I really need some more ideas. He loves hot chocolate so considering a Velvetiser if I can find a good deal or a decent equivalent.

Thanks everyone, there are some great ideas here. He'd love Kids against Maturity and I'm sure he's mentioned Yu hi Oh cards, so I'll look at those too.

Mine has a few fun lights that plug into USB ports on his monitor, like these
Gaming light box
Plasma ball
We bought him a Minecraft Lego set last year which he really likes, he put it together and it sits by his monitor
He also loves his Swiss Army knife with lots of gadgets, and this novelty tape measure was a stocking filler hit last year tape measure

There’s few things more satisfying than watching the USB-Powered Plasma Ball arc, strike and fork. Plus, its small size means you can carry it anywhere you go.

Also, B&M is usually good for gaming stocking fillers, I bought a few Minecraft-themed bits last year and I'm sure they also had X box/Playstation-themed stuff.
