13 year old boy

I'm doing one of those gift tree things and all that was left was a single teenage boy. It's a request from womans aid so obviously the family have been through stuff.

What can i get a 13 year old boy that he would enjoy and make him feel like he fits in? I don't want to just do smelly stuff.

So far I've got the idea of a bottle of prime (might be outdated now but was all the rage not long ago)

Manga/comic style books (in case the boy doesn't speak English). Fiddle toys.

I have teen boys I think I would go for
Lynx set
Nike socks
Primark oodie - I got my 13 yr old and adults small last year and I think that would be the size for all but 1 of his friends
Playing cards
A fidgety thing maybe a slinky or one of those cubes

If I didn't want to guess the size for the oodie I'd get earphones - mine uses £10 Amazon ones and an aftershave.
Or possibly a football with pump but it's hard to know at this age For example, I see Lego suggested a lot but mine have never been interested.

The first Robert Muchamore “Cherub” book. I think it’s called The Recruit. It seems to be like crack to 12-13 year old boys.

I alway choose the tags for teenage boys as I worry they will be left!

Lower budget on our one but in previous years I've bought:
Things for being out with mates: Costa voucher, H&M voucher, Greggs voucher.
Boring things for school: pack of black and blue pens, pack of pencils, general stationery, pencil case, water bottle.
Chocolate/sweets.
Black beanie hat and black touchscreen gloves.
Powerbank for phone.

Nike socks for the want to be cool part of him and an oodie for the home comfort part. And snacks. Always snacks fit teen boys!!
