What To Buy a 9/10 Boy When You Don't Know What He's Into

Hi

I'm after some advice as to what I can buy for a 9/10 year old boy for Christmas. I'm not sure what he's into, apart from knowing that he's sporty and hoped for some ideas on what I can get - I don't want to spend much more than £10-£15.

Thanks

    If you have no ideas, could you not ask his parents/guardians?

    A book? (Football) Annual, Everything Book for Boys and Survival Guides are all brilliant.

    Or how about one of the Science Museum gifts which are great; TK Maxx had the adult sized hoppers for £10 last time I was in.

    Hawkins Bazaar (shop or online) has loads of fun things to entertain young kids.

    Failing that, a gift token for a sports shop (or Amazon that sells sporty things) so he can choose his own sporty pressie.
