Presents for 11 year old boy - help please!

[anothermerrygoround]

Would anyone mind sharing what they are getting please?

We need to buy for his birthday AND Christmas and really struggling!

He likes football and computer games! We are thinking maybe a switch 2 given he's not asked for anything hardly but then get stuck for smaller gifts and ideas for family.

Please help Mumsnet!

Go on the webshop for football team he supports ' loads of merchandise to vhoose from.
Gaming voucher.

I'd prefer an activity , If it were my son, so, voucher for climbing centre, or tickets to a match. How about tour of a stadium ?
Go ape do Great rope activities.
Loads of ideas for 11 year old boys,
Nice rucksack for year 7? Voucher from jd??

What about something for his room? My son is nearly 15, But thinking back, I bought him a framed poster/picture of Fortnite – which he was really into at the time – and I’ve also bought him little figures from places like Popmart, Smyths, The Entertainer. A key ring for his door key as a stocking filler, little figures he could display in his bedroom. Is your son into grooming yet? Maybe not, but if he is, a little shower gel type set. My sister bought him a fur covered hot water bottle, which went down really well! He also got given a fluffy fleecy blanket last year which he really loves.

How’s about…

football rebounder
football training ladder and cones
Annual for Match of the Day/team he supports
Jamie Johnson book series
FIFA 25 for his switch
Replica footie shirt
New shins/gloves/training top etc

Metal stadium sign for his team
Team oversized hoodie/pj’s
roblox or Fortnite vouchers
gaming or football duvet cover

What are his favorite teams or players? You can get him something from the team's official store or something related to the athlets he likes, maybe a book about them or their autograph(s), or you can create a poster from their photos (here is a tutorial for that), etc.

Something to decorate his room with is always a good idea: LED string lights, lava lamp, glowing stickers. If he's into collectibles, then maybe figurines or stuff like that.

Steam gift card, hoodie/tchirt with his favorite game logo.

Annual pass for the team he likes would be a massive hit.

My son also loves football and gaming and he loves his Switch 2 (had the original one, but is much preferring the upgrade), so definitely get him that.

My son loves his Fortnite oodie we got from Amazon, also Cozzzy Crocs to wear around the house.

He has asked for a home based laser tag game and a board game called Hues & Cues.

He always loves a new football and a water bottle branded with his team’s logo. He’s also loved a series of books about footballers (I think they’re a bit rubbish, but he likes them!).

I find boys SO hard to buy for 😩
