11 Year Old Boys

[fruitsalad]

I have 3 x 11 year old boys to buy for and haven't a clue what kids of that age are in to, I don't usually spend a lot of money on them, but everything is so expensive toy wise, can I have some ideas please.

[ummmm]

Cash.

[fruitsalad]

Good answer ummmm but I gave them cash for their birthdays, really wanted something they could unwrap.

Games for their X-Box or Ps4

I've got an 11yo lad to buy for. For his birthday I bought him a digital camera (which he loved). For Christmas (as he's a football fan) I've bought him this

but I've got a few other things to decide on yet. (I've just noticed that my local Tesco store has a Marvel characters wallet and keyring set for a fiver, so I might buy him one of those and put a twenty quid note in the wallet. As he's an avid reader, I'll almost certainly buy him a book or two as well, perhaps with one fiction title and one on some aspect of science).

At 11 my son would have loved books or music. Maybe an itune voucher?

Dressing gowns? Practical.

[Elina]

Sorry, how much is your budget fruit?

[EcclesCake]

Amazon or iTunes vouchers.

Book tokens or a jumper each - as different from their school jumper as possible.

Great ideas thank you all

football strips ,boots etc

^^^ Have you seen the price of replica football kits, Mallyh?

I thought of getting something like that for the 11yo whom I'm buying for but, with the shirt alone costing £55, it might have to wait until his birthday in February!

have a look at amazon and sports direct x

Sports Direct are absolutely brilliant on prices fruit!

Ask the parents, 11 yer old boys are hard to shop for, I'd rather give them cash than spend money on something they will never use/wear.

[Prudie]

I can't imagine any 11 year olds would want any kind of clothing (unless it were specifically sports related). Vouchers really are the most likely to be of use. Or yes as Talbot says if you know any games they want for which console.

Rolled £50 note pushed into a cracker. My gkids got same but middle one was disappointed with 'just' a cracker & passed it onto his bruv. He was sick when he saw the contents.....that'll teach the greedy bukker!
