What are you buying your pre teen boys?

[witchespocus]

I really love these threads each year and they are great for sharing ideas. I’m looking for ideas for a 10 year old boy.

I'm finding this age difficult as he doesn’t really play with toys anymore but is still a bit young to get excited about things like clothes 🤔.

currently my list is looking like;

meta quest vr. (No idea which model to get if anyone has any tips!)
football kits
collectible figures- a bit niche to his interests
personalised shin pads
V-bucks

Oooo I’m with you. I was thinking some sort of 3D printer as he loves gadgets but need to look at cost.
portable speaker as he has a playlist on Spotify now and you can get ones quite cheaply

Ds will just be 11. He’s getting a new bike, a switch game, some F1 merchandise/motor sport stuff as he loves that & it’s the only ‘sport’ he’s into. A few map books as he loves reading those. He’s getting a falconry experience from his grandparents.

Headphones
A ticket to hunger games live show.
A jumper/hoodie
A game not decided which yet.
A book.

Also looking at Meta Quest.

My son is football and Fortnite mad, but the one thing he does also play with is Gravitrax. He’s asked for another whole starter set and there are new accessories too.

He always loves a new remote controlled car and liked the look of a home based laser tag toy.

Otherwise, I’m looking at things like Arsenal hot water bottle and he also asked for a board game called Hues & Cues.

I got rechargeable hand warmers for him too as we go skiing, so if you’re outside a lot, these could be good. Oh, also a Bluetooth shower speaker! Sorry, can you tell I’m just typing as things pop into my head?!
