Mother. Fuckin. Rollerblades.
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 😅
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.
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.
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.
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
