Depends on interests really. Most toy sites have suggested toys for age groups.
Wicked Uncle site has some unusual ideas. Look on Books2 Door if he enjoys reading for book sets. How about a large construction/ stem set or LEGO?

My ds is 9/10 and likes -
switch stuff - he’s getting a new controller and a new game

My 8 year old basically wants all the electronic gizzits from Menkind 😂I've ordered him a drone and my mum will get him a remote control plane.

That’s a very general question. What type of things do they like? Mine is mad about football so most of his presents are around that.

Gravitrax
Football table
Dart board
Roller blades
Electronic drum kit
remote control monster truck
Smart watch

Stationary with characters he likes on it?
Lego? Science kit? Air dry clay? Could he do with new or nicer pens/ pencils? Does he have roller skates? Books? Board games?
Does he do any sports you can get him some optional gear of?

Thanks for all these fab suggestions, I’ve ordered some of them that I think he will love!

My just turned nine year old is crazy about bey blades.... They are like battling spinning tops. At his birthday sleepover, all the 8/9 year old boys seemed to enjoy playing with them

He also loves silly graphic novels (bunny Vs monkey etc). He likes super things too.

Mine its lego, football strip and pokemon game.
