What to get a ten year old boy for Christmas?

best gift ideas for 6 year old boy image

I'm looking for gift ideas for my ten year old nephew. He is mostly interested in video games, but I'd rather not get him another game. He doesn't like sports, but he seems to have some interest in science. He also really likes technology, such as cell phones, computers, etc.

Every year, when I ask his parents what to get him, they tell me the name of a specific video game or request a gift card for a video game. I'd really like to find something a little more original, that would still be fun. Any ideas?

Answer
amazon has some really cool basic robotics kits for his age group. I was just looking at them and you can get some nifty sets for under $50 and free amazon shipping.

What are good toys for a 5 or 6 year old boy or girl?

Dropped My

We are attending a party where the admission is to bring an unwrapped (under $15) gift for a 5 or 6 year old.

I am not into kids, so I have no idea what kids play with today. I have no children, by choice (childfree). My girlfriend has adult children, and no grandchildren. Most of my friends have adult kids, or none. I just am not the type that hangs around kids.

Suggestions please

Answer
I am SO with you on this one. Childfree here too, and my sister's boys are 10 and 5. When I ask what they want, she says "Everything" *rolls eyes* like that is helpful.

the eldest was into Bionicles a few years ago. He was able to put them together when he was younger than the suggested age (found in the lego isle) but that is generally a boy gift. Barbies are always a good girl gift.. or are you supposed to bring a unisex gift??

Check out the board games. I just played two interesting games with them one was with rings, another was like tetris but it was a board game. You can visit the educational toy stores (think smaller mom and pop type store) and the sales associates would be thrilled to point out appropriate items.

it is easier when you aren't buying for a specific child.
