Any ideas on what a 10yr old boy might like for Christmas?

[deedee321]

Just that, really. We have a very sweet 10yr old step-nephew that we don't see often as he doesn't live close. Not clued up on what little boys that age like. Any ideas gratefully received :)!

Some ideas would be
Lego
DVD
K-Nex
Art Set
Books
Football
Game

Star wars (lego, figures, games)
Harry potter (ditto)
Nerf guns ( some may not like them but at least they are soft!!)

My 10th ds1 has asked for, and is getting, a remote control helicopter ( £20 from John Lewis).

He's also getting either the Guiness Book of Records 2011 or Ripleys Believe It Or Not 2011 (both RRP £20+, but can be found for about £10 in places like Tesco and Costco), bits of Meccano, a Harry Potter sudoku-type puzzle, an 80s CD, and a tie.

I think that your average 10yo boy would probably like any of the above, except perhaps the CD and the tie (but then my ds1is not 'your average boy' - believe it or not, he requested both of them ).

He's not my 10th, LOL. iPhone autocorrected '10yo'.

Premiership football, guiness book of records, Richard hammond's blast kit sets (they are great these- might have got the name slightly wrong but they are experiments in kits etc)

Thanks you lot - great to get some pointers :), cheers for answering

Can I agree with Lego (but check), Guinness book of records, also 20Q is IMO a great toy!

My 10yr old nephew is VERY into magic tricks.( My word ! How did you do that!?)

Magic tricks! Loving it!!
