HELP-I need Christmas Ideas for a 11 year old boy!

I'm good with ideas for his younger brothers, but having a hard time him. He's not good making a list and his parents are no help-in fairness, they are awfully busy between home instruction and trying to keep their jobs.  This kid has special circumstances and deserves some great gifts!!  Thanks.

@buyornot   Check out Fat Brain online - you can search by age and might get some ideas there.

favorite football player? an authentic jersey that he can display or wear.....bonus points if it is signed.

I got my grandson who is 12 years old a Bliss Lights Skylight for his bedroom.  It is like a small projector that creates a field of moving stars against a nebula cloud onto his bedroom wall or ceiling.  I ordered it directly from the Bliss Lights website.  I’m excited to give it to him.

[ Edited ]

What 'type' of kid is he?

Type 1 - something light-hearted or an activity to look forward to (ie jokebook, movie tickets, etc - a little trickier nowadays though)

Type 2 - something cozy or sentimental (ie cozy throw, framed picture of you together)

Type 3 - something physical or a project (ie soccer ball, building kit)

Type 4 - something intellectual (ie book on subject he's interested in)

I second the suggestion for Legos, maybe the Technic ones that move.

How about a tabletop foosball game?  Amazon has all kinds of sizes and price ranges.  He can play with his siblings or parents.
