It Will be my sons 12th at the end of the month then christmas a month later and I’m completely stumped at what to get him he used to love reading, drawing, writing but seems to have lost all interest in most of his hobbies and already has so much stuff related to them things, he despises actual lego sets, he does do fitness clubs but isn’t actually into sports or support any teams , he has a PS5 and switch 2 but again he definitely isn’t a gamer , he’s a picky eater so foodie things is a no. Also he hasn’t hit that point of being into fashion yet I dunno if its just his age and a phase but I’m actually at a complete loss as to what to get him

Does he enjoy listening to music? What about a record player? Buy Bush Classic Record Player, Built-in Stereo Speakers - Grey | Record players and turntables | Argos. That then opens records as gifts also.

An activity? Trip to thorpe park/alton towers (blue light discount or Kellogg's vouchers make this more affordable!) or climbing session with a friend, trip to an indoor water park near you Indoor Water Parks UK | Day Out With The Kids.

A surprising hit was coloured hair wax Belvera is waiting for you! ✨ which washes out easily but was fun for mucking about with.
