Who knew 11 year old boys are so difficult to buy for! We have two preteen boys. They already have games consoles, phones, had new bikes over the summer.

I thought it might be useful to share our lists to hopefully get some ideas!

So far I’ve come up with;

new console game
football shirt
new headphones (upgrade)

I would like them to have something to do, they’re not keen on Lego but do like card and board games.

We’re in exactly the same boat. My 12 year old daughter is so easy to buy for, but my 11 year old son….😩

We got him a Segway with go kart attachment last year and he absolutely loves that, so could be an option?

This year I’m looking at getting him a trampoline scooter and fortunately there is one massive Lego Fortnite set he wants (he doesn’t usually like Lego either).

Otherwise, he’s asked for more footballs and I’ve asked my mum to get him a mystery football kit (could be disastrous if it’s Spurs or similar…!).
