What are you buying your 5 year old boys?

I feel like DS has everything already! And his interests like most kids change all the time. He has shown a keen interest in spiderman and bluey recently. He loves building but has too many magnetic tiles and blocks as it is.

Just after some ideas! I want to start now really. I like to spread Xmas over a few months. Not so much because of money but because otherwise I get so overwhelmed. Like to be done and dusted with the present buying nice and early

Search the wicked uncle site gifts for 5 year olds - this is my go too for gifts they have some really cool bits on there that you might not have thought of.

My 5 year old love Kinetics (we have a dinosaur one) and lego. We recently had a woodwork set from Ash & Co Workshops that he loved doing with DH

K’nex, walkie talkies, playdoh/slime/kinetic sand kits, you can get the construction vehicles you put together with screws/bolts as well if he likes building.

In order loads of presents on there - there’s some bits that are a bit different too x

Spiderman outfit or hoodie or PJs (h&m is usually good for that sort of thing)

Bruder if he has any interest in toy vehicles like fire engines or tractors

Pogo stick

Electronics kit or a really good marble run like a wall mounted gecko run or gravitrax

I’m strongly tempted to get my DS an Air Toobz set. I think he’d love it, but it’s quite expensive so might wait a while to see if there are any deals for Black Friday etc…

Following, I'll have a 5yo boy next month and struggling for presents, feel like everything I see is just a repeat of things he's already got.
