    Another vote for Lego. My eldest is 14 and still plays with it!

    Is he allowed guns?

    Air Blasters are all the rage round here. They have darts with rubber suckers on the end to shoot.

    or a huge water pistol ready for the warmer weather.

    You can get football sets with a ball, cones, water bottle and stuff in. They were popular with boys when mine were younger.

    Books such as Cressida Cowell or Horrid Henry.
    Here I go again on my own....

    Lego! As a small boy (many years ago) at Christmas it was a Lego set and the next birthday a Lego piece that complemented the previous Lego set.

    Ask the boys Mum or Dad for advice.

    Bit of a cop out but what about a gift voucher?

    Or my two (5 and 9) are into lego (but I wouldn't thank you, just saying!), bakugan, gormiti, air blasters, those GoGo crazy bone things, marbles... Air blasters are a fave, DS2 (5) has the little walking robot too and loves it.
  • Toyrus do a Ben 10 Board game for £4.99. It has been a winner for every year 1 birthday my son went to last year. Even the girls were begging to be given the game.

    I'm 32... :o (I pretend it's for the children though.)
    DD is seven; when I ask what her boy classmates are into it's always the same answer: Lego. I think almost anyone from about four and up would love some :D
    They call me Dr Worm... I'm interested in things; I'm not a real doctor but I am a real worm. :grin:
