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
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. :(
2 day old post, so didn’t skim to check, but if nobody mentioned slacklining, you should check it out. It’s super cheap to get into, and it’ll teach balance and build core strength which will translate into a million other hobbies.
a slingshot
We made a slingshot from scratch using the old ways when he was like 5. But yes, a good idea, although parents might not agree. But I’m the cool crazy uncle :)
Tickets to X Games?
He would love that, unfortunately we’re an ocean away .But you gave me a great idea, offer an experience instead of a thing!
Time and experience over things.
At-home laser tag game? When we were kids my brother had one - 2 battery powered chest plates you wore and 2 guns. We’d turn the lights off in the basement and play.
That seems fun, I must check it out, thanks
A bit too expensive for a nice one like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082XJRTMG?tag=bc-ftrd-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1
But surely it would earn me a lot of “cool uncle” points
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)
jump boxes
Gonna have to google that. Anything like a trampoline? Cause he has that already, the cheap small variety
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.
He already has one 🤷♂️
damn that boy is stocked up on equipment. maybe tickets to a sports game for the two of you if he’s into that?
I just grabbed a random example from Amazon but how about these split skateboard things called free skates? I have limited mobility at the moment but I’d try them out myself if I could!
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!
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.
30€ around that for budget. Definitely gonna search ninja lines, thanks for the hint.
A GoPro and brackets to mount it to stuff so he can film himself
Great idea but over budget. Don’t want to open a precedent 😅
Any thought on giving just an action camera which is not specifically gopro? I think you’ll find plenty in 30€
Yup, second this. GoPro is the Gucci brand, but you can get stuff that does 90 to 100% of what they do for considerably less. You’ll need to do a bit of research in sports communities to find out which ones are good, they will have opinions. Also FPV quad hobbyists will know a lot about them, especially which ones are light and tough.
I’ll look into that, thanks
You could split the cost with other family members to make it a little more reasonable
Get him into buhurt or jugger! Yes, those are real sports, despite sounding like gibberish.
Drag race, sitting near the beginning where you feel the cars take off.
Indoor skydiving.
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
I don’t know where you live, but if you have a Hado arena nearby, then a taster session might be a good gift. It’s an augmented reality sport which can be played casually or professionally. There are arenas all over the world.
Unfortunately their world site is a little out of date. I know quite a few kids in my area of the UK, at around that age, who are getting into it.
I’m in Portugal but if there were similar events in my area that would be a great gift

This is a very fun place and all about movement and they are opening one up in the UK. Not sure if you can buy him a gift card and take him when it opens? In the US it’s $25 or $29 per ticket.
