Following this in the hope for some ideas… some smaller ideas I have had:
Slushie cup
Mug cake mixes and mug
Boba bubbles and straws

Sheet face masks

Thanks guys!

I'm so unimaginative!!

Will check some of this out

Musical instrument?

You can pick up starter keyboards and guitars quite cheaply. We're getting ds a keyboard as he's learning it at school.

My DS got a keyboard when he was around ten and I thought it wouldn't get used, but actually he still does use it. Not every day but sometimes. One thing I missed off my list was a book of Taylor swift piano music which I think he will love

I have ds 10 and ds12. They are both getting wireless headphones amongst some other things. Little bits include socks, pants, pjs. Ds10 still wants Lego.

some great ideas on here! I have really struggled for my 10 year old DS this year. So far he’s got;

a new gaming chair (got in Black Friday sale was meant to be £249. It lights up, vibrates, has speakers etc he’s going to love it. Especially as his current gaming chair is one of the dining chairs!!)

Spiderman 2 on PS5

A pikachu squishmallow

an adidas hoodie

a Miles Morales controller holder from Smyths

A finger skateboard half pipe set

a few new books

Throw Throw Burritto

Subbuteo

a nightlight which lights up the ceiling with constellations

I think I’ll probably get him a new set if I can get a good Black Friday deal on one and he’s also asked for an NHL jersey.

Plasma lamp
Tamagotchi
Long sloth hot water bottle
Bubble tea kit
Vegetable seeds
Laser tag set
Beano annual

An origami kit
Plus the usual sweets etc.

Ds-11 in Feb will be getting
A new switch and zelda game
Harry potter chess set
A lava lamp
A pile of new books
Pennants and merch from his favourite team
Probably some foodie bits- mug cake mixes are a good idea if I can find some.
Usual smellies and undies.

Some things my 11yo likes / idea:

Air Jordan crossbody bag (for his phone etc as he has started popping into shops on his own etc)
Still like his electronic circuits kit, tech deck, magic, rubix cube, gravitrax
Squishmallows x lots!
Keyboard and mouse for his iPad
Slime making kit
Faux apple pen for iPad
Cuddle cushion for sitting in bed on devices
Lava lamp / plasma ball
Pogo stick

DS of a similar age has asked for an AirUp bottle, HiSmile toothpaste and LED lights (alongside the £££ gaming setup request)

Also yes to Alex Rider but he’s specifically asked for the graphic novels.

Following this thread for some ideas for DS who's 12. Anyone know of a half decent budget gaming laptop please? as that's what he has asked for and I don't have a clue 😬

Mine has asked for drawing stuff, audiobooks on cd (wtf?) and monopoly. He’s into Pokemon tcg so will get plenty of booster packs. He really needs a new bike and he’s going to big school this year and is terrified, a phone. He doesn’t want a phone though so inflicting it on him at Xmas seems rather offish. I was also thinking of getting him a wizard chess set. He can’t play yet but he’s a harry super fan so he’d love it if it arrived.

Wow…

Just ordered a 'boys squishmallow' and Taco Goat Whatever thanks yo this thread!

Ds11- 12 in jan is getting a ps5

Unsure on the rest but so far;

Bubble tea set
Power bank for phone
Extra long charger
A mud claw for rugby boots
Oodie
Ps5 voucher
Pants and socks
Pjs
Nice shower gel

I just bought him a PS5 and it wasn't even on the list because it's always been a firm 'no' so he didn't put it on.

Decent price from Very for Black Friday. Just need to sort out what games.

I wouldn't have even thought of it if not for this thread.

Some great smaller gift idea on here.
