What to buy a 7yo boy ?

[drankthekoolaid]

DS turns 7 two days after Christmas so I need two lots of presents. He doesn't need a new bike or scooter etc and annoyingly isn't into Lego.

Am going to get him a coding robot but otherwise I'm completely stumped.

What are you getting your 7yo boy?

My 7yr old is very much into bakugan at the moment and I imagine most his presents will evolve around them. But robots, dinosaurs and pokemon are also big hits

[Straysocks]

Small sewing machine. Loves to make stuff

[drankthekoolaid]

@Straysocks if only I could see!
I might try him with knitting though!

[drankthekoolaid]

@duckling84 not heard of this but looking in Amazon looks like something he would like. And not too pricey! Thanks

To break things up a bit, I’ve also got him a box set of horrible history books, theatre tickets, Pokemon cards, and some Disney- themed hot wheels cars

[DelurkingAJ]

All the Lego.

I’ve gently suggested he might like a bike, which he seemed to think was a good plan. Which in turn means that family can buy all the accessories.

For his birthday the game Operation and a 3D globe jigsaw went down very well.
