Since Ive offered him pretty much everything (under reasonable prices) like all kinds of games, ball games, skate etc, he also has a bike so I’m totally out of ideas

last gift was a cheap xiaomi sports bracelet which he loved, but now I don’t know how to up it…

A pair of socks? He only shows much love for me near the seasons 😂 so I told him santa was watching (of course he doesn’t believe in santa anymore). I might prank him but I need a backup gift, so… title

    Get him into buhurt or jugger! Yes, those are real sports, despite sounding like gibberish.

    Again thanks for everyone’s suggestions. Some of you I didn’t reply cause I isn’t applicable for where I live and I wasn’t expecting so many good replies. But I appreciate it immensely, I have a lot to think about.

    You have made my day

        Any thought on giving just an action camera which is not specifically gopro? I think you’ll find plenty in 30€

          Yup, second this. GoPro is the Gucci brand, but you can get stuff that does 90 to 100% of what they do for considerably less. You’ll need to do a bit of research in sports communities to find out which ones are good, they will have opinions. Also FPV quad hobbyists will know a lot about them, especially which ones are light and tough.

    I just want to say you are the greatest. In reddit this question would be ignored, but here I have my hands full just keeping up with replying. I have to sleep now as I have to wake early tomorrow but wow, you’re the best 😘

      He’s into skate now, but yeah, that crossed my mind, except to give him something decent would go over budget. Trying to keep it 30€ tops But thanks 🙏

        Does he have a skateboard? If so, maybe some cool wheels or bearings? Figure out what kinda wheels he uses first though. There are different types that are good for different situations.

        Edit: I’m not super into skateboarding, but if I’m not mistaken, Bones bearings are generally seen as some of the best you can get.

          Gave him a skateboard a couple of years ago. He’s still trying to do the basic moves but he loves it. Doesn’t need new wheels yet 😅

            His wheels may be fine but if he’s really into it aome good bearings will make a huge difference. I’m in favour of a cheap action camera however. I’m sure you could get something good enough for a kid at that price point.

            Shit. Hmmm… Does he have a decent water bottle? Maybe something like a hyroflask would be good. Plus it’d be multi-use. Another possibility might be a skate bag to put his stuff in if he doesn’t already have one.

            At 10 he’s alllllmost at that age where anything a grown-up relative buys for him is gonna be cringe and not the right brand/style/whatever. You can’t go wrong with a voucher so he can get exactly what he wants. Maybe a voucher for a skate shop? You could even take him there and help him get something so it’s still an uncle/aunt purchase.

        Well he’s still in the phase that girls are gross, but soon when the hormones kick in that may be a great idea. Saving it for next xmas or two

    Get him an experience. Take him to an X-games style event, or indoor surfing, or Jr paintball, etc. There may be some tracks that will rent karts that young, but spectating is fun, too.

    At-home laser tag game? When we were kids my brother had one - 2 battery powered chest plates you wore and 2 guns. We’d turn the lights off in the basement and play.

    Tickets to amateur wrestling/any sport. My dad brought me to wwf wrestling as a kid and it was such a blast. Tickets to any live sports/teams that he’s into will blow his mind. Or people pizza and lazer tag is always fun imo and very budget friendly.

    Tickets/Voucher for a rock climbing centre could be up his alley.

    If you want something that will last you could get him a powder bag, or his first Carabiner as well.

    Be prepared that the climbing place might not let him use the Carabiner in conjunction with their equipment though, so it might sit around until he got his own harness if he ever went that far. Powder bag would be all good.

      I’ve thought about building a climbing wall at my parents house, they have the space, but maybe for a future project. I would like one myself 😅

    Hmm, sounds like an experience gift would go over well! I’m in the US but some cool stuff you could try giving him gift cards or tickets to?

    • Waverider, which is sort of like surfing but you don’t have to go to the beach
    • Renting an ATV for few hours to drive out on a trail
    • One of those BMX tracks for bikes instead of motorcycles
    • Indoor skydiving Sorry if none of these are under budget, I haven’t done any of these in forever so couldn’t tell you what the price is.

      Now that’s thinking outside the box. Not sure the parents would approve and sounds expensive. But another one for my box of ideas, thanks

      He probably doesn’t have any idea what a dvd is 😂 but good idea on the series, thanks
