What are you getting your 9/10 year old boys?

Or to rephrase "what to buy the 9/10 year old who has everything"?!

Really stuck on what to get DS for Xmas. And he won't tell me yet what he would like as it is a secret apparently! I suspect he may be trying to ensure I don't see his letter to Santa to prove his existence one way or the other.

Anyway. He is into football, WWE (yuck), has a PS3, has a DS and we have a family Wii. He would like a table tennis table but although we have room here we won't have when we move next summer. He would like a drum kit and has been having lessons for 3 years but DH is not keen. We have a ton of Lego although I do feel a big challenging set may need to be part of present for me him to do over Xmas.

We have lots of board games. He got 2 of those Lego games last Xmas which have not even been opened. He has lots of unread books.

Has an iPod. Would like a TB for his room but that is NOT happening. Would like a laptop - also not happening!

that's awful Buda. I can imagine how you feel I've been through it with dad and my sis.

Curiousmama - it is shit isn't it? Good new though for us. Cancer not spread! Yay. Am like this - !

I have just reserved an air hockey table for my ds ,(9). Smyths toys have them for £39 at the minute which is really cheap. My ds s played this in the hotel we stayed in recently and really enjoyed it. Either that or a foozball table

That's good news Buda!

Can I ask anyone who has a multi games table how it works - do all the games store under the table top or do you have to keep the ones you are not using somewhere else?

Glad to hear that
