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

    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 🙏

    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…

    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.

        Something like this. Not springy but rigid. They sometimes come in a set of increasing heights so you can train your jumping height/endurance/speed/etc. A great thing to have if he’s at all interested in track and field, basketball, skateboarding, parkour, or really any sport that involves jumping.

        I used to have a blast working on my jumping when I was in high school. It’s a crazy good workout and feels good to progress in I think.

        I know you can get them at Walmarts and Dick’s if those exist where you are but they’re sold many places I’m sure.

    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)

    What’s your budget? I’ve been looking into ropes course kinds of things for my kids, basically slack lines that you can add stuff to. I think if you search for ninja line you’ll get hits.

      That’s great, 10yo me would have loved that. But he already has some of that stuff and he’s focused on skate as fas as rolling things go. But I love the idea!

    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. :(

    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
