I wanted to get him a 3-wheeler for his birthday, but he will not get much use out of it being winter is almost here. I need some ideas on a good fall/winter b-day present for a 4 year old boy no more than $50.

Arts and crafts items are great for keeping young boys occupied indoors (without them being glued to a tv or computer screen). Try washable markers with a superhero cartoon coloring book, or a themed play-doh kit (like the Backyardigan's pirate ship - or even play-doh by itself), a water-color book, construction paper and glue... this list is endless. You could create a gift bag full of an assortment of these items for not a lot of $. Boys that age really love to create, explore, imagine, and then admire their handiwork!

Do you have ideas for 10 year old boy's gift?

My grandson is 10 years old and in the 4th grade. He's athletic but has lots of footballs, basketballs and sports equipment. He has one of those new Wii video games already. I've been teasing him saying he's going to get underwear for Christmas if he doesn't give me any ideas. Do you have any suggestions?

A book. Boys do actually like books. They don't like fiction much, but a non-fiction hardcover book with great pictures and small captions usually goes down well. They won't read large chunks of text at first, but will read captions for pictures. If it grabs them, they'll go back and re-read. My brother when he was 8 was given a little book on solar power and one one wind power and read those two books over and over for the next two years. I don't think he read anything else, but he really got his money's worth out of those two! Boys like to know how things work, and often like history too. That can be mummies, pirates, aztecs, space, whatever. The stereotype of boys is that they are into nothing but sport and video games, but you'd be surprised (or hopefully you won't be) at their little academic minds. I'd suggest this one: http://www.amazon.com/Yours-Truly-King-Arthur-Drogin/dp/0800887662 I haven't actually seen the book myself yet, but I have it marked down for when mine are a bit bigger. This one too: http://www.amazon.com/Gateway-Medicine-Living-History-Library/dp/1883937752/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1195772272&sr=8-1
Or a Kubb set. We're having fun with ours. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kubb They don't need to have pretty turrets on them, or be painted, but you can if you want.
