My lads almost 9.

We've got him some electronics kit and a couple of nurf guns.

Will get him Minecraft on PC via the ms Store.

Feel like we're really struggling for ideas this year.

What are the popular toys at the moment. Feel so disconnected from stuff with COVID. Barely speak to other parents and kids.

Get him some good board games and enjoy some time with him with electronics off over the Christmas period :)

I'd highly recommend Pandemic as a first game as it's co-op so you play along with him.
Star Wars Imperial Assault is expensive but essentially has 3 games in 1 as its a 1 v all, 1 v 1 tactical combat game and also has an app for complete co-op.
Star Realms is a super cheap 1 v 1 game that has a huge amount of replay ability.
Ticket to Ride is an excellent starting game

if you're interested also have a look into:
Marvel Champions or Marvel Legendary for a fun yet simple card game.
Kingdomino - very cheap and quick fun little domino builder.
Carcassonne - Classic tile laying game.
Stone Age - a personal favorite of mine with a bit of luck due to dice rolls
NmBr9 - complete brain burner but also very simple.

Perfect. Thanks.

I've just ordered the Imperial Assault game. Looks amazing and we can all have some fun without a screen.
