Christmas presents for 9 and 11yo boys?!?

Help please!!!

This year I am buying for DH's little brothers for the first time and have no idea what 9 and 11 year old boys like or want! Don't know their mum to ask her and their dad (and DH's dad) just says they don't need anything as they want for nothing!

I'm sure they don't, but we want to get them gifts anwyay!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

TIA x

    Well, My DS is 10, so right in that age gap.....he is into things like remote control cars (they dont have to cost a fortune) DS games, Wii Games, Lego, DVD's (Night at the museum, Pirates of the Caribbean)etc

    I like the Walkie talkies idea, they are a great age for them

    Ooh yes, walkie talkies sounds good. And nice that they can play together with them too, thanks.

    My boys are 9 and 11 and have to say Lego is always a bit hit. Youngest is into Top Gear at the moment, so any cars are good, eldest is into gaming. But you cant go wrong with Lego.
