What’s your 12 year old getting for Christmas?

No idea, he's just had his birthday present that was difficult (we went with a monitor, keyboard and mouse for his laptop). All he wants is gaming vouchers which I hate buying as I think they are a waste of money

A metal detector (if I can find one!), some Minecraft books, sweets and possibly something else

Dry robe style thing for rugby
Tickets fir the World Cup Final (womens rugby union)

From grandparents
Dr who books
New double bedding
Kindle

We have bought my 12 year old some video games, new wireless headphones, a black hoodie and a North face t-shirt. We want to get him some Star Wars lego as well as he's still really into that and also planning to buy him some F1 merch. We are also thinking to buy him a new badminton racket as his is getting quite run down and then a new book set if we can find a good one. And then a bit of cash and lots of chocolate probably!

My 12yo DD has asked for make-up brushes, a cork board for her room and a lyric print of an Olivia Rodrigo song.

A few ideas I'm considering...
Stackers jewellery box
Pandora bracelet and charms
Lego flowers
Art canvases and supplies
Skincare bits
Mirror with lights
Game - maybe Pictionary air
Bath shelf
Olivia Rodrigo merch but no idea what!
Clothing vouchers
Chocolate fountain
Squishmallow
Sweet hamper
Books

My nearly 12 year old is getting wireless headphones, earrings, anklet, pocket photo printer thing, squishmallow, Sanrio stuff, a couple of jumpers and face mask & bath stuff.

Memory for his gaming PC
a mini fridge (he’s been begging for years for one of these and we are giving in as I can’t think of anything else he wants)
a gaming lamp (it’s basically just a funky purple floor lamp)

other than that, clothes and maybe smellies as he’s stinky with hormones these days!

Beats headphone
a new iPhone (going halves on this with his dad)
a squish mellow pikachu
Man City top
Man City football
$100 as we’re going America after Christmas
lynx set

off of my parents he’s having a new football goal

Thanks everyone for the ideas :)

A White Fox co-ord
Sol de Janeiro perfume set
Skincare by Bubble
She has said she likes Pandora so possibly a bracelet.
A fake Gucci bag ( kind of a joke present) but my friend is bringing one back from her trip to Turkey
A Sabrina Carpenter album on vinyl.
Not sure other than that.

I have no idea 🤷‍♀️ My DS will still be at 11 at Xmas and then turns 12 in January 🤦‍♀️ Hoping for some inspiration. So far, anything football related will go down a treat and he lives gaming, but has everything. It gets so much harder every year lol

It’s DSs 12th birthday in October so even harder to find Xmas stuff for him! I think it will probably be a new (to him, refurbished) phone as he just started high school.
He will also probably get some under armour stuff and (yet another) new football as eleventy-million footballs are not enough! And maybe a mini weights set or kettle bell as he is getting into his fitness.

Mine is asking for an Apple Watch, AirPods, white Nike tshirts and socks and a Northface cross body bag. He won’t get it all. And his birthday is January but I have him tickets to Imagine Dragons for that!

Nintendo switch
Vbucks
Dumbells
Cake tins

Thanks all, even harder when birthdays are on top of it.

Coldplay tickets
another Apple Watch strap (got the watch for birthday)
casetify phone case
some inexpensive jewellery bits
sweaty Betty leggings
carharrt jumper
urban outfitters voucher
silly PJs
beauty stuff- byoma range
Books

Dd wants a Nintendo switch she can play on the Tv, she has lite but has wanted the Tv connecting one for a while. I can discount where I work on things like this so that’s sorted.

I’ve brought her so far just some stocking presents.
rio de janeiro pink set
Kylie Jenner lip gloss
sabrina carpenter body mist
bunny themed chopsticks
2 dork diaries books

still too buy.
a lush set
wednesday Lego
any other d3cent Wednesday Merch I can get
maybe some jewellery.
gonna look in b&m and primark for things to fill her stocking
just dance 2025 switch game.
new chelsea 3rd top hopefully

tbh my sister and my mum have brought her Sabrina carpenter tickets so anything I buy in comparison isn’t gonna beat that,.. she’s very grateful for everything she gets I just know her reaction to the tickets will be the loudest 🤭

Bump

Stocking fillers & kit for their school ski trip!

Great ideas here.
Mine has asked for money which is boring but what she wants.

The photo thing is excellent idea and I'm also thinking of getting mine and older ds a charm bracelet.

Also probably 20 quid roblox etc
And some sort of lego.

There was a good thread on board and card game's recently, my dd adores exploding kittens etc so some new games.

Cooking gadgets - he's discovered that he is great at making pasta from scratch (much more patient with the machine than dh!) so that has inspired him a bit
