What to get a ten year old boy for Christmas?

best gift ideas for 6 year old boy image

garbanzomo

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.

8 year old tomboy: gift card to their favorite store.

40 year old woman: does she like to cook? If so the griddler by cuisinart is a great gift. You can get it off amazon.com.

36 year old man: does he like to build things? Or fix things up? If so then some kind of tool, like the Fein Multimaster its a 7-in-1 tool. Very cool.

Why do people think its wrong that my girlfriend is older then me?

WestCoast

Its not like were having sex or anything, I just go to country clubs with her/classy parties etc. My parents really like her and she is very educated and everything. Its not like shes a loser, she buys me awesome gifts and does not expect me work a dumb job at McDonald's. (To stressful) If I was a girl dating an older man no one would think that's bad, so why do people think its bad when its the other way around? My girlfriend might not be "Attractive" but its the heart that counts and age is just a number, I'm 16 and know what I'm doing. I plan on marrying her when I turn 18 and life will be great. Ill move out of my parents old home and into her nicer one and be a great supportive husband. We agree on almost everything and the things we don't like children are not a big deal. She does not want any kids and I'm fine with it. It just annoys me that were ever I go people always think "Gold Digger" or something like that, I would love my girlfriend weather she had money or not.
@ Birds Fly South: Wow, that was great advice thanks.

Answer
first of all. You are obviously 16 and immature and dont know how life really works.

In the REAL world.. its older man younger woman couples that are the most vilified couples.
I have never in my life heard anybody vilify older woman younger male couples. White culture doesnt even call older white women pedophiles for getting pregnant with their 13 year old student's babies.

I think older woman younger male couples are paranoid because their relationships dont work that well and they think the relationships arent working because they arent accepted.
They dont work as well for other reasons. (fertility etc)

No older woman ever called my dad a cougar for falling in love with my mom when she was 19 and married her when she was between 24 and 25 and he was more than twice her age.
Even when my mom was 40's.. my dad STILL got called names by family gossipers.

And no older woman called my mom a gilrrtoy. No, she got nasty words like "gold digger" because dad owned a manufacturing company.

I have never heard older women do anything in life BUT bash older male younger female couples.

I've even heard older women call us 28-34 year old guys pervs for dating
22 year old females while at the same time calling women twice our ages cougars for dating someone that age.

So... older white women vilifiy all age gaps where the male is older. I happen to be white male with asian female..and we are out of the juristiction of white females. no white male is going to push a young asian woman off of us because old white women dont like it. For as long as white/asian couples continue to raise more scholars than white/white couples per capita.. we will never take breeding advice from white/white couples.

but this isnt about me. I'm in a different place in my life than you are. You are a kid. Your idea of "love" will change 1000x over the coming years. by the time you are 26... you will have hot 18-25 year old females looking your way with slobbering mouths dreaming of a husband...and they will be pretty hard to resist once you see how great their bodies are. Just like I can never resist them.

But you said "i would love my girlfirend whether she had money or not"..yet you mentioned her money quite a bit in your post.

"classy parties"... "gifts".... "nicer house"...."gold digger" (dude... no male is ever called a gold digger. That is a sexist expression that only females who breed intelligently are subject to. Most males who date older celebrity women, for example.. get called "boy toys" not .. "gold diggers". Its a sexist expression with EXCLUSIVE feminine usage. My mom lived with it for 30 years. Her crime? avoiding white trash in favor of white gold males)

If your chick is over 18.. that is an immoral relationship right off the bat but you are too immature to realize it.

But when you are 30.. your wife will be younger than you and you will have a career of your own and you will be strong and independent.

I've seen that 1000000000x.

Almost every male i knew in college who dated someone older than them.... married someone their junior. (especially in the upperclass where I grew up).

People dont think its wrong. White culture gave the female version of the "dirty old man".. cuter words like "cougar" and "milf". Its how white culture functions. We always establish one group as the inferior poeple and another group the superior one. Cougar and boy toy is the superior relationship. Dirty old man and gold digger is the inferior one despite greater success.

Older woman younger male is the nazi and older male younger woman is the more successful jew.
Same parallel minus killing.


My dad made a successful marriage out of a 20+ year gap.. but the only person who ever gave him a nice word was my mom "sugar poppie". My sister coined it but my mom liked it and my dad thought it was cute. But everybody else in her family? "dirty old man". Period.
My grandma didnt accept him until she got sick and then suddenly realized what the perk of having a rich son in law is "life saving medical care money". suddenly he wasnt dirty old man anymore.
(except with my aunts and my middle class friends who couldnt relate to the upperclass lifestyle and the marriages that exist in the upperclass)


dont worry about what people think. Nobody hates older woman younger male couples. You arent the hated couple that i was raised by and its condescending for you to suggest you are.

But if you divorce her at 40 and take half her money and use it to attract hot 23 year old girls.. thats when society is going to hate you. Stick up for yourself then too. There is no such thing as a law abiding dirty old man.

Its ok for the upperclass to breed
