What are you buying your 8 year old boy?

[Dailydreamer]

Totally stumped for ideas for my 8 year old. So far I've got him an interactive globe, some extensions to his gravitrax, a Tom Gates book and the treehouse story book set. He doesn't need any more lego. He got a bike for his birthday last month. Grandparents and aunts have given me money to buy him presents from them but no idea what else to get him. I've asked him and he just shrugs and says he likes surprises. I know he will be happy with whatever he gets but I'd love to know what your 8 year olds will be getting to give me some inspiration.

9 year old -

A small Harry Potter LEGO set (he has enough too, but here we are…)
Couple of board games
Zelda switch game
tickets to an annual event he enjoys
Lord of the rings figures
A book of facts about the natural world
Pjs and a dressing gown
A jumper
stocking with bath bombs, Minecraft mini toys, pokemon cards, chocolate, a toy dragon, fluffy socks etc

Might add in another book but that’s it.

My 8 year old is getting a playstation with a few games (it's the only thing he really asked for). A Lego Bugatti. Slime & Playdoh,he has weak hands & these are fab for helping him strengthen them. A Fortnite annual. Stocking bits like bath bombs,stickbots,mini books etc I'm also getting board games but they will be a shared gift with his brother.

Skateboard, dobble, science kit, glasses with different lenses so can see the world in different perspectives e.g. like a fly, bunny vs monkey books, Harry Potter, an electric ball which hovers, a really good yo-yo, monopoly deal, bouncy boots (strap them to your feet and bounce/jump), Minecraft merch
