What are you getting your 9 year old boys please?

[LoveFridayNights]

I need inspiration after hours on Amazon trying to find top up gifts, ideally things that provide something to 'do' on Christmas Day!

So far I have:

Crystal making
Mascot teddy and calendar for his football team

I have got him what he has asked for!

His little brother has also asked for a huge Nerf gun.... So I anticipate them spending most of Christmas shooting each other

A new bike (second hand off fb marketplace)
EA sports FA 24 for the xbox
Gravitrax marble run
Air up bottle

and then a load of crap stocking fillers, squeezy poo, fart whistle, bath bomb, bottle of prime, chocolate and football cards

All. The. Lego.

He’s getting more stuff than usual, and I’ve been buying stuff since June. It’s been a tough year and he’s been an absolute star.

Main present from us is a Switch.

Family are getting him:
Ticket to Ride
Lego London Postcard
DK Find Out books on robots, space etc.

Great ideas, thanks everyone! I've been poorly with flu since I posted but feeling (a bit) better now so will get on with the googling!

I have boys 7 and 10. They are getting:

Fifa 24 (Ds10) and switch Kirby game (Ds7)
Harry Potter Lego

books
football kits
Man City tickets
Nike Hoodies
football boots
Harry P Choc frogs & sweets
bath bombs
lots of little bits & bobs!
DS10 getting a Swatch watch (from my parents)
Eugy animal models

might look into Perplexius as mentioned above

@Invisimamma which silent basketball? It sounds a fab idea but they seem to be for indoor use - is that right? I don’t really want it used indoors but if it works outdoors it might spare the neighbours a bit!

It's meant for indoors but I'm sure it would be fine outdoors if you don't get it wet (it's foam). The original silent basketball is very expensive but there're lots of cheaper ones on Amazon that look pretty much the same.

For relative - Amulet graphic novel box set
Forbidden island game

Nearly got Phoenix magazine subscription, circuits set or build a robot / automatron kit
beano has been a hit

Meccano do some remote control cars you gave to build yourself which are satisfying

DS will be 10 in January and asked for Yu-Gi-Oh cards and surprises.

He will be getting:

Card storage
Skullduggery Pleasant hoodie
Prime, including some rare flavours
A large fleece cushion for his bedroom
Various Japanese sweets and soft drinks
Hot chocolate shaker with chocolate drops
Robux
Custom anime portrait (Etsy)

Dressing gown
Several books
Spotify subscription and wireless speaker (main present)
Welly boots
Desk tidy

He'd like a Switch but we refuse to go down the games console route.

My ds is 10, he is getting:
ps5 games x2, ps5 custom controller, ps5 mini keyboard, ps5 black skin set
switch Mario wonder game and new joycons
bananagrams
genius star
air up bottle
light up glass orb with Pokemon figure etched in from etsy
forbidden island game
mount cleverest game
Oodie
ear buds
large Pokemon plush
safe can
shark attack bath bomb
light up sleeping pikachu

he doesn’t play with actual toys anymore, he does enjoy card and board games and still loves stuffed animals/plushes
