What to buy a 7 year old for Christmas

Options
My Nephew is 7 years old 6 days before Christmas and I haven't a clue what to buy him.

Not having any children of my own I don't know what kids his age are into.

I wanted to spend around £15 since that's what I have spent on his younger sister.

Can anyone offer any advice??

Thanks:beer:

    DVDs, Transformers, Dr Who toys, Remote Control Car, Dinosaurs. Have a wander round Toys R Us, you will find something to suit his age. Board games such as Operation or Junior Monopoly, Mousetrap all old favourites. Kerplunk, Frustration.

    Boots have som fab 3 for 2 offers plus there is £10 off spend over £50 as per hotukdeals.
    I got 3 remote control tarantulas that are £25 each on Argos = £75

    However on Boots paid £50 for them -£10 discount =£40 delivered free.

    They have loads of great toys suitable for boys or girls

    Thanks Teresa.

    Thing is with things like transformers, you never seem to get a lot for your money I dont think??? Is that just me? I went to Woolworths about a month ago to get my friends son something for his birthday and I couldnt believe the prices of some of the stuff. I've bought him a remote control car in the past also.

    I wanted to get him something a bit different this year but the thing is I have no idea what!! In all honesty, I'm not even sure what he's "into", he lives quite a way from me and I don't get to see his much to be honest :-(

    lego or magabloks are usually a good buy for a 7 year old boy
