Gift ideas for 10yo Help!

[Bloomsbe]

Help please!
I am really struggling this year with christmas gift ideas for my 10yo boy. He doesnt really want anything specific 😂 He is into his football but has enough football to last him a life time. I’ve bought him a few bits of merch of his favourite team and some clothes but Im a bit at a loss. I miss the tractors and trains stage, are there any cool toys/gadgets anyone could recommend? Thank you.

Does he like Lego?
There's a series of football themed sets.

Marble run was a huge hit here for many years and gave hours of fun among themselves and with friends.
It has always surprised me how much both sexes loved it.

Our ten year old has an MP3 player and loves it.

I’m also struggling with gifts for her for this year though. Am thinking of asking family to pay for an experience

I have an 11 yo DS and last year he liked:

Science Kidz electronics set (from Amazon)
Snap Circuits set
Nerf blaster
Lego Star Wars & Minecraft, Technic cars
A basketball and freestanding hoop
His fave authors new fiction books

He also asked for but didn’t get a metal detector, which I’ve heard are popular.

Can I ask what brand the mp3 player is please? I found my old iPod recently but it doesn’t work properly anymore.

Alexa
Trainers
Cool coat
Bedding
stuff for room - posters, prints, rug
Lava lamp
Grip socks, shin pads
A football

My son is coming up 10 and asked for a metal detector, which until seeing thing, I thought was quite weird.

My 10yo just had his birthday so it's difficult
Lego star wars is a big one here
Gel pens
A new type of uno
A cuddle cushion so he can sit up in bed comfortably to read/watch TV
He wants a sports watch so can track steps

I’m getting my 10yro a metal detector! She loves panning through sand for things and finding ‘treasure’. Brilliant gift imho. I’m struggling a bit for other things though as she’s not into toys anymore and wouldn’t want clothes.

I’ve always found walkie talkies are popular. I have an 11 year old DS and he’s quite hard to buy for too! So far I’ve purchased him a lava lamp and some books. I might get an Etch-A-Sketch too. Kind of lost as to a “big present” for him but I’m sure something will come to mind.

I bought DS a hoverboard last year, it's been lots of fun.

@Figgygal any ideas on which watch? Im thinking of getting my 2 sons one each. Doesnt need to do calls/texts but would like it to track cycling routes etc.

Maybe an experince like paintball. Or smash rooms?

My nearly 10yr old footie-mad boy with a birthday coming up is getting between that and Christmas

• a rebounder for outside
• a skills mat and lighter football for inside. It comes with footwork tutorials.
• Playmobil of his favourite team (we‘re in Germany).
• A football strip for his favourite team.
• New goalie gloves.

We play a lot of board games and he absolutely loves Football Billionaire. We‘ve also had a lot of fun with A Game of Two Halves.

And despite neither being arty nor enjoying sitting still, he goes through reams of those Create Your Own Team colouring books.

He‘s also loved Gravitrax (a marble run) for the last couple of years and there’s always something to add to it, whether official or a creative 3D printed piece.

I’ve got my 10yo DS some crunchlab toys from smyths, a zipstring web launcher, pixicade game maker, Nintendo switch game and Lego.

Scooter

Lego

Battleships game

Pens/paper/art supplies

Uno or Dobble

Giant marbles

Books.....mine particularly like Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Tom Gates books, Bunny vs Monkey etc

Magic tricks kit

Optical illusions book

Diary of a wimpy kid books
projector for his room
go pro
a deck of card with pictures of his football team
power bank
build your own pinball machine
waterproof mini speaker
scooter grips and grip tape
personalised mouse mat
Bumfuzzle game
mini aftershaves
hair products
rituals shower foam

This is it. It’s deliberately very basic - we wanted just music, no games etc. It’s working very well so far - will be a year this Christmas.

We bought a Crunchlabs subscription last year. We've just had the last box. They've been fantastic, the creations are so clever.

My DS8 would love one of these, I thought they only shipped to the US. Is there a UK version?

Looking for my ten year old grandson last week, I saw a metal detector that I thought might be fun.

No, they ship worldwide. They are fantastic

A random stocking filler that was a huge hit was coloured hair wax, it washes out easily but my ds found it great fun 4Pcs Temporary Hair Color Wax Natural Hair Color Wax for Cosplay, Masquerade & Festivals Party – Easy Wash-Out Styling Pomade with Instant Results and Long-Lasting Hold(Red/Orange/Purple/Claret) : Amazon.co.uk: Beauty
