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

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.
