10 year old boys

[03cg73]

Help 😂

what are your tween boys getting for Christmas?

my nephew is 10 and I have NO idea what to get him this year. I’ve asked him and he just says I don’t know. He’s at a very awkward age where he’s losing interest in toys but not into aftershave and teenage things yet.

budget is around £100

hes not into sports. He used to love wresting and nerf guns etc but he already has loads and as I said, isnt really interested in them any more.

he loves his trampoline and learning tricks. I got him a trampoline scooter for his birthday in May which he loved. It I can’t seem to find anything else similar to that kind of thing

he loves his computers as well but already has everything he needs there

I’m lost and his mum is getting the same “I don’t know” answer from him when she asks

A wallet and pop some gift cards in. A cinema gift card to buy tickets and some cash for snacks, £10 for starbucks/costa, The works etc . I have done this as a gift before and it went down well.

Pogo stick?

10 year old boy is such a tricky age!

Things that have been popular for my similar aged boys...

Giant whoopee cushion (B&M bargains)
Lush bath bombs
Any kind of Lego (but the more "grown up" the better...if it said it was for 18 year olds they loved this)
Those giant Jaffa cake, party ring, Pringle tubes that are 3 ft long
Tamagotchi
A fake Nintendo game boy that comes pre loaded with loads of games (Amazon)
Has he got a console? A new game for that
A CD player with some CDs
A DVD player with some DVDs
Greggs voucher
Milkshake / ice cream / hot chocolate set (Etsy has lots of these that you can send in the post)
Digital camera
Stop motion kit
Make your own comic set
A funky light for their bedroom
Metal detector

Things they're asking for but haven't yet got...
Mini fridge for their room
Jelly cat amusables
Dry robe for the beach
Stunt kite
New body board (can you tell we live by the sea!)

Beyblades?

Hamper of his favourite snacks and cinema voucher or VBuck/Roblox online credit. Slush puppy/popcorn machine mini fridge. Latest team strip or ticked to match. Trampoline park gift card with Nando’s or similar gift card for full day out.

My nearly 10 year old enjoys his rock tumbler, metal detector, magnet for metal fishing, collecting coins. He also likes using his BMX scooter and mountain board that he got last year.

Thank you so much for all the suggestions. definitely given me things to look at 😃

I picked him up from his friends tonite and he was talking about thanos gloves his friend had so I’m also going to look at them.

He’s excited about the new avengers film, just didn’t think he’d be into the figures and stuff since he’s gone off his wrestlers but it seems he might be! so that may be an avenue for anyone else looking for ideas

thanks again!

If he likes reading, get him started on Ronald Welch. His books are fantastic. You can buy more for his birthday and next Christmas.

My 11 year old son has asked for Lego sets particularly the Nightmare before Christmas set, Five Nights at Freddys Teddy and a 3D doodler pen

I have been equally stumped with my 10 year old ds. My list so far includes;
Portable basket ball hoop with ball
Build your own dinosaur terrarium (he’s always been dinosaur obsessed)
Pokemon cards, new binder
Primal attack hatching megalodon

I’m mainly here to steal ideas as that’s where my inspiration ends. I know he’d really like a Meta Quest as he has one at his dad’s house. He is very tech obsessed though and I’m not sure about inviting arguments about it into the home.

Friends 10yo boy is similarly troublesome - if asked I'm sure he'd just want money for Roblox! In terms of smaller gifts to go along with that, I recently had some luck with novelty bath bombs and a cute but also kind of "cool" little bag charm of something he likes - still young enough to enjoy that sort of thing.

They're approaching the shift into guys rather than children point, and for guys I mostly swear by getting a nicer, fancier, or newer version of something they already have and enjoy. So idk maybe a new fancier water bottle or new fancier headphones, a hoodie or oodie linked to a brand they like that is more £££ than they'd usually have, something like that.

You can get Lego sets which are more like display pieces rather than play sets. My son (10yrs) has a Spiderman one and Green Goblin one, and he has a nice Creeper one too if your son is into Minecraft. I've definitely seen Avengers themed ones. He has them on his shelves.

What about circus tricks? Near us, diabolos have made a huge come back, but perhaps he would also fancy juggling or magic tricks.

Mine has the adult lego sets (botanical sets and pokemon sets), pokemon cards and a new binder and switch 2 (so he can play the new pokemon - clear obsession. 🤣) also a new football and new boxing gloves.

Have a look at the Science museum shop online. They have a couple of cool robots, there’s one that they can code.

I'd also add, this website is great - it's an independent toy shop in Brighton.

Always find a treasure in here for my 10+ year olds...

Last Christmas my 10 year old absolutely loved an indoor skydiving experience he got off his uncle, still talks about it now!
Not sure how much it is, but we all went and watched him do that then we went out for tea, he had a great night.

Also, although he’s almost 11 now, he loves money being put on his bank card, or vouchers (but not as much) , he really enjoys saving and spending on things he really wants and having the responsibility to choose himself.
