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

      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 🙏

    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 😘

    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.

    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…

      When I was his age we built those from scratch using wood and roller barings from car wheels. And slingshots, cross bows. We could also use bb guns easily cause there was one in every home. Fun times, I don’t know how we survived.

    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

      Now that’s thinking outside the box. Not sure the parents would approve and sounds expensive. But another one for my box of ideas, thanks

    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.

    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.

    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)

    Again thanks for everyone’s suggestions. Some of you I didn’t reply cause I isn’t applicable for where I live and I wasn’t expecting so many good replies. But I appreciate it immensely, I have a lot to think about.

    You have made my day

      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!

    Drag race, sitting near the beginning where you feel the cars take off.

    Indoor skydiving.
