Giant ball of rubber bands
Playing Cards
Tach pen which writes upside down and has a flashlight
Am I clueless thinking these are appealing? What else would work?

Do you know his gloves size? My 13 loves wearing gloves.
knit cap (I would not get red or blue because some schools don't allow those colors)
Cool sunglasses.

Tic Tacs (I don't know why my kids are so in to them, but my friend said her kids are too and she also puts them in their stockings)

knit cap

Why wouldn't a school allow kids to wear red or blue?

Those are very standard wardrobe staple colors.

Because these are gang colors and schools ban them so that kids are not targeted by mistake.
It sounds like something like an Angel tree that OP is doing, so I would be extra careful since she may not know what school the kid goes to.

I am in the bay area.

Not Angel tree. A relative’s child. His school is in Atlanta so I don’t know the gang situation there, but I grew up in Baltimore and red or blue was a good way to get shit.

A Christmas ornament

It is tech related (not tech) - they have Fortnight figures (saw them at target)

My 12 YO likes the Funko POP figures

A flashlight

A winter hat with led lights in it - my kids walk home from school and it is pretty dark around 5:30

We’re fortnight figures in the toy section? If not, where were they in Target?

At the Target in Bethesda (NOT Rockville) when you came down the elevator at an endcap display near the electronics

Since you know this child, can you ask if he has a bike? I just ordered a bike multipurpose tool from amazon for less $9. It looks like a pocket knife but is all bike tools. I am putting it in my 13 year old ds's stocking.

Batteries and bulbs always has a good selection of flashlights. Headlights are especially cool. Prismacolor colored pencils with a good sharpener. Bike lights that click onto spokes (from a bike shop or Eddie Bauer in mall)

We bought him a bike over Thanksgiving. That tool is a great idea! Thanks!

Wow! lucky kid! Does he already have a basket for it? My ds uses his bike to commute so he has a basket, but it did take dh a few tries to find a basket that fit on it. This may be something where you need to do it in person unfortunately. Also if he doesn't have lights for his bike already, that is another good idea!
