8 year old nephew birthday gift ideas?

David301

This weekend I am going to see my nephew. He is now 8 and I have no clue what to take him. I dont see that side of the family very often due to the distance and work schedules.

I am under the impression that he is kept away from playstations and the such like so im a bit stumped at what else to get him.

My mum said he is into money in a BIG way at the moment, how much money does an 8 year old need?? Or is money even acceptable?

Get parents to open a Junior ISA for him S&S and add money into that?
or Halifax regular saver for kids 6%

your nephew should already be learning to save.

Why not just ask his parents what kind of things he's into atm or if there is anything he'd like?

Our eight year old nephew loves minions, angry birds and minecraft.. We usually go for t shirt or something on one of those themes!

They bought him a motorbike and all the gear to go with it, so I would either be told something too expensive or he doesnt need anything lol, I know my brother!!!

A Lego set? There is such a range now, there must be something he'd like. Or, if he's "into" money, get him Monopoly
