Think a smallish gift in that case with some cash for spending or saving for something special. You can wrap cash up in layers/boxes so it looks bigger... ?

We always asked ours to write a xmas list - in the understanding that it may not all be delivered, but to give Father Christmas some ideas!

So he likes boxes and Nintendo, does he have Nintendo Labo yet? They are basically cardboard Nintendo accessories (like a VR headset, fishing rod, keyboard) that you build yourself: labo.nintendo/

How about a camera or some binoculars?

I know someone who received an old car engine and a tool set, at about the same age. Loved it. Eventually went on to work on tractors.

What a subscription for something that you can do together? Eg for dd bday we got her a kiwico ‘tinker crate’ subscription - that one is science and engineering but I know there are others based on crafts etc, and I’m sure other companies do similar. I sometimes find that just having the ‘stuff’ isn’t enough for dd... she likes to have a structure and an end goal.
