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 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.
This is the way to go. Seeing an actual professional do this shit is an experience like no other.
Do you have any rock climbing gyms near you? Could get a punch card to one.
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 😅
Mother. Fuckin. Rollerblades.
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.
Protip on this one, if you have a youth soccer club nearby, just head to the lost and found to find hundreds of pounds of premium water bottles. No one will claim them, just take them. Please. The landfills don’t need any more garbage.
That’s not a bad idea, I’ll have to keep that in mind myself.
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.
naaw rollerblades are too easy. get him some quads. chicks dig the quads
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
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.
Freeline skates
The Snack! bike bags are really fun
There are lots of options for cool lights for a bike, like colored LEDs.
A good bike tool like the Topeak Ratchet Rocket.
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.
Giftcard to good favorite shop is a gimme.
Apart from that… get him a hammock! If he’s a little extreme kiddo, he’ll probably love hanging it up between trees and climbing into it.
Could you build a wood racecar like they use in the soapbox derby? I saw plans online, the kits are a couple hundred USD, but you might be able to build a cheaper one from scratch…
Potatoe Cannon (less than 30$, can assist him in print out together so he knows how to fix it!) or pogo stick? (Both equally unsafe imo)
Unicycle
Rocket Power season 1 DVDs
He probably doesn’t have any idea what a dvd is 😂 but good idea on the series, thanks
A slack line? Maybe over budget
Stuff to build skate features, or wax for waxing curbs
If he lives by snow, a park rake is super cool for building snow features. It like makes a perfect jump for you.
G-form (knee)pads maybe lame, but by far the most comfortable protection I’ve ever worn.
A knife, 10 year old me would spend hours widdling sticks, trying to make wooden swords and stuff
3d printed nerf guns are amazing now. If you have access
Since you mention €30, I guess it depends on the country.
I bought my nephews a youth bow and arrow set a few years ago because they were all about Hawkeye in the Marvel movies.
But depending on your country, that may or may not be legal. :(
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.
