Hover soccer ball
Whether you want to spend $20 or don’t mind forking out $100 plus, a hover football is one of those really hot gifts for 10 year old boys that you cannot go wrong with. These disc-shaped toys come singly or in some cases as a 2-pack. Sometimes they also include accessories.
Where this is the case, these might be a couple of goals plus a pair of hockey sticks. Some products also include a regular soccer style ball within the pack.
Whichever you choose, these ‘balls’ come with LED lighting so he can see his way. In each case, the central disc tends to be surrounded by a tough, thick foam layer, to protect his new toy while it’s being played with.

Indoor basketball hoop
If he’s more into basketball than soccer, then a mini basketball hoop for indoor use could make the ideal festive gift. These come with all the fixtures and fittings required to put them up, as well as one or several balls to play with.
Some slightly more expensive models even come with a scoreboard, complete with cheering sound effects. Many are monochrome with red balls, but some are available in other colours, including the Wilson Los Angeles Lakers one.
Whether he’s really into the game or just the sort that finds it hard to stay still, a mini indoor basketball hoop could be the way to go this Christmas.

An eScooter
eScooters are another top choice when it comes to Christmas gifts for 10 year old boys. These come from all sorts of leading outdoor brands, and in various colours and shapes.

The Razor Power Core models, Hoverfly GKS and Segway Ninebot are some of those you can pick from. Each one comes with features such as pneumatic tyres or solid rubber wheels, brakes that can be accessed right by the handlebars and a kick stand.
Some eScooters also come with several speeds, or may have built-in LED lighting. Some can also be folded, or might be lightweight to ensure they’re as portable as possible.
