What do you do about Christmas presents for the child who can’t/ won’t/ doesn’t want or ask for anything?

ADHD and DLD
12 yo boy. I love that he’s not materialistic and isn’t always asking for stuff, and when he does like something, because it’s so rare, I tend to get it at the time. Eg he was into flip books the other week so I got him a little kit he wanted.
He is never into anything for long and very much ‘out of sight out of mind’. I think he also can’t imagine having things he doesn’t already have, so a Christmas list is really hard.
Advice suitable for NT kids isn’t helpful!
Just looking for solidarity I think as there’s not really an answer. I think I’ll just get him a few things I know he’ll enjoy, albeit briefly, and put money into savings.
I remember the pressure of ‘having to like everything’ at Christmas as a child and I don’t want him to feel he has to please me that way. I do expect politeness to gift givers, of course, and he does that well.

I give a few token presnts/what they've asked for (which is always very minimal) and then make the difference up in money (so gets the same as siblings). I give physical money so they are aware but then they usually give it me to put in the bank (which they very rarely spend).

Do you (or anyone else) play board games with him? New board games (for 2 players unless you are sure you can make up the numbers) usually go down well with DD if she hasn't asked for anything
Puzzles (Waterstones have interesting looking ones in)
Stationery if he's a writer
Kits - if he likes things to do but maybe not enough to commit to a hobby, something to build (anything from robots to cooking)
Lego? I guess you'd know by now if he wanted that though
Sports kit or pencil case/lunch bag of his fave team (can you tell this is the area I know least about LOL)
Is he too old for fidget toys?

If there's one thing I'd go back and tell my past self about buying for DD for Christmas it would be to not be surprised when all the things I bought her that she hadn't asked for went untouched until the next clear out though!

What would DS think of experiences as a gift? For example, depending on his interests, something like tickets for a sports match, theatre tickets, young driver driving lesson, super car experience, tank driving experience, theme park?

Or giving DS money rather than ‘just’ into savings?

Does DS like sensory or exercise equipment? You can spend a fortune on that.

Thanks for your replies. Good ideas, although I haven’t got him anything yet. All he’s asked for is Christmas LEGO (which he doesn’t really like, it’s just that he’s seen it so it exists for him). And most of it has sold out.
It will have to be actual money I suppose. But then he doesn’t spend that.
Sorry, I sound so miserable. I feel I should be grateful for a non-materialistic child.
Clothes are a no.
Busy places are tricky, so experiences probably out.
His room is awful but he doesn’t want it changes. Maybe a really cool projector or lamp/ sensory tube.
