Need $10 Gift Idea for 11-12Yo Boy

What about going to a sports store and just getting him something for his room with his sports team on it for around that amount (sometimes you have to go over slightly).

My older boys at that age liked posters, books, magazines, water squirt bottles, plaques, banners, anything like that (decals, etc.) to put on their walls in their rooms of their teams.

I like the magazine subscription idea chacha had. Kids love getting stuff like that.

A subscription to Sports Illustrated Kids Magazine.

(Safe link, 6 months for $10: https://subscription.sikids.com/storefront/subscribe-to-s...)

Amazon gift card so he can get what he wants. :)

I would reach out to the other moms of these kids to find out what is traditional. I can tell you that we set a dollar limit in most of the clubs/church parties I go to and everyone always goes over. Then there's that one or two that did stay within the limit and their gifts are cheap.

I know, we set the limits to avoid that, right? If this is a classroom thing you need to contact parents that have been in this class. If this is an organization thing you can probably go on their FB page and like at their photo albums to see what sorts of things they gave the year before.

sports cards from his favorite team - a deck will do.

we used to have Kids Edition of Sports Illustrated - not sure if they still do that - I think it was $12

How about tech gloves...winter gloves with tech fingers where you can still use your phone and text. Or new earbuds that are cool. Old Navy has sports team shirts if you know his size (in the men's section). My 13 year old son always loves getting an Amazon gift card.

Search on Amazon for 'Top Trumps'.
Select a deck of cards that on a subject that will interest him and/or is educational.

Back of the door basketball hoop
