Present for 8yo boy

Hi everyone - racking my brain for ideas for a present for 8yo nephew. He’s a boy who has everything. Trying to think of something uniquely british or London based as he is in Ireland. But really grateful for any ideas! Thanks

hello mydailymailhell! saw your cry for help and thought I could give you a hand since I've been in the same situation with my two nephews - Timothy 8, Jacob 9 – little rascals, auntie loves you! :) they have pretty much everything and I was getting quite desperate last Christmas when a friend told me about these little pop vinly figures. they’re so cute, I couldn’t make up my mind about which one to buy! even wanted to start a collection myself! lol
since you want something London-based, I’d go with Sherlock Holmes, or Harry Potter, or Lara Croft - UK’s finest. Grin
cheers!

Is he into Minecraft?
Minecraft books, Lego, clothing are all popular here.
DS has a Snap Circuit set which he loves (Amazon). You can build electrical circuits for a variety of projects; a fan, bell, radio etc
iwantoneofthose.com has a set to build your own neon effect sign for about 15 pounds.
Or how about a Python programming book?
Labyrinth is a fab board game - as long as he has someone to play with.

I can't think of anything particularly London or UK-based though.
Do you know what his interests are?
