What toys are you getting your 10yo boys?

So far there's only really one actual toy on my list for him! (Mario racing track thing) The other things are techy (webcam, light up headphone stand), or other non toys like a custom tumbler, a hoodie with his YT channel/gamer logo on, a football (not sure how much use this will get) and a game on the Xbox

Stuck for ideas on a budget, grandparents are getting another mario kart toy and I think a drone, his uncle is getting him a Roblox playset.

He loves his PC, would love a switch or vr (but both are out of budget), has a tonne of Lego and toys that don't get played with very often! Already has a 3d pen, headset, fancy keyboard/mouse/chair

He'll enjoy what he's getting but I could do with a few ideas for things that can be played with, his younger brother has a good selection of different things and I don't want him to look around and be a bit disappointed at the lack of 'toys', but is he just at that age now? 🤷

Thanks all :) we/he managed to come up with a few more ideas with the help of this thread and I've almost finished the kids Christmas shopping now 😊

Last year I picked up dunk 4 which is a basketball version of connect 4. It went down really well.

Ooh thanks for this. It's only £10 on Smyths.

Over the years, the swimming kids have had:
Microfibre towels (Decathlon) they dry really quickly and don't take up much space
New fins because their feet outgrow them
Club hoodie
Onesies to put on after training (might not be cool now he's 12 but the girls don't seem to bother so long as they're warm and they often wear them on the way to the pool for early morning training!)
Speedo backpack
Sliders for poolside
A tow float for openwater

Thanks for this, but he isn't a swimming club kid, or star swimmer or anything. He just goes to the council pool and swims and messes round. He's a good swimmer but not a "club swimmer" so doesn't need all the extra bits. We have floats and pool noodles and things.

@MooseAndSquirrelLoveFlannel i would highly recommend the microfibre towels! They dry so quickly and they’re great for travel too as they take up so little space.
