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

    A polypropylene practice sword, though a good one might run you 40 EUR, depending on size and type.

    Best experience I had so far is with Cold Steel ones.

      I already gave him a wooden practice “katana”. He loves it and he’s a natural. Got to check those propylene ones, never heard of them, thanks for the heads up

    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.

    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

    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.

      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 :)

    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. :(

        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.

    Get him an experience. Take him to an X-games style event, or indoor surfing, or Jr paintball, etc. There may be some tracks that will rent karts that young, but spectating is fun, too.

      This is the way to go. Seeing an actual professional do this shit is an experience like no other.

    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)
