Ideas for 9-10 year old boys?

[rainbowriver]

Mine has asked for an i-pod touch, bike and scooter, he won't be getting all those but really need ideas for smaller presents??

See the thread that is currently under this one about boys similar age. My son wants lots of small presents!

Is he into Lego - my 10yo DS is still keen on his Star Wars Lego - or there's Lord of the Rings stuff out now (tie-in with the Hobbit film due out)?

having the same problem with SS who is 8, lots of toys seem to babyish but last year he was disappointed when ds got stuff he liked ( age 4 at the time) so maybe i was too hasty with the lack of playsets ect. This year im thinking something to make, and use in different ways, playsets that fit together maybe

Something else I saw recently was the Makedo range of sets that I thought would quite appeal to ds.

Also a few 'brain' games I came across of Amazon - Q-Bitz and River Crossing Game.

Thanks for the tip, I just ordered Q-Bitz.
