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 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
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.
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.
Welp the ones who didn’t aren’t posting ; )
Get him a helmet and vest so he can get into rodeo sports.
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.
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
Freeline skates
Those seem fun, I already gave him a skateboard, but that seems even more fun, thanks
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?
How about dumbbells?
Thought about a small kettlebell cause I love them and could teach them. But I fear it may be too unsafe for his age
Maybe hand grip strengtheners.

I dunno, sounds too expensive

Unicycle
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
Mother. Fuckin. Rollerblades.
naaw rollerblades are too easy. get him some quads. chicks dig the quads
Well he’s still in the phase that girls are gross, but soon when the hormones kick in that may be a great idea. Saving it for next xmas or two
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 🙏
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 😅
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.
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.
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.
Tickets to amateur wrestling/any sport. My dad brought me to wwf wrestling as a kid and it was such a blast. Tickets to any live sports/teams that he’s into will blow his mind. Or people pizza and lazer tag is always fun imo and very budget friendly.
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 😘
