7 NEARLY 8 YEAR OLD BOYS - WHAT HAVE YOU BOUGHT?

[mummatotwo]

My DS only wants lego which is find but would like to buy other things, going for a couple of games and books but really am struggling with what else to buy

Hiya,

I have got a nearly 7 year old boy and an 8 year old boy. We have bought lego (thats all they seem to want). But have also bought a razor rip rider from Toysrus. Sorry - don't know how to link.....THey had a little go on one in the shop the other day - and it looked like great fun. Its something a bit different aswell.

Hope this helps

is this it

New scooter (hopefully)
Diary of a Wimpy Kid books/ DVD
More 'grown up ' smellies e.g. hair wax etc (Zara do lovely aftershave for boys, my DS loves to wear it for bday parties/ meals out etc
Large wooden castle

Still looking for ideas too , has loads of lego/ playmobil but doesn't bother with it.

Lego here too for my 7yo DS, also lots of books and managed to find couple of cheap wii games on Xmas bargain thread. We've extended the Lego theme too with a Lego calendar, Lego annual and Lego keyring!

Harry potter & hobbit Lego
Beast quest books
Horrible history annual
Match attax cards for stocking
Dr who boxers
Horrid Henry DVD for stocking

Thanks for your ideas...lego seems very popular!

Wiggy - The Book People have a great diary of a Wimpy Kid calendar on offer at the mo

Yes mummatotwo - thats the one :-)

Mummatotwo- Cheers for heads up but I (ironically) got him a lego one from M&S outlet for a couple of quid- thought it was quite funny.

I m having exactly the same dilemma. Have 8th birthday to contend with. I love lego but want something different too.

Mine wants Hero Factory stuff.

Thanks perfect

It may seem a lot but we don't usually buy big presents during the year and he has grown out of lots of his toys this past year.

my ds3 is 7 and will be 8 on the 23rd dec! not great timing! so far he wants a specific bumblee bee transformer that is £35 and a lego lighthouse, there is also another lego set he wants, a beach house? and lego hero stuff. he also likes moshi monsters.

we will probalby get an xbox game or two, i happily buy them second hand!

maybe some of the lego games?

not sure what else really, need to have a look around.

its harder for me as he has two older brothers so we have lots of stuff already!

oh he has said he wants a proper pair of roller boots, i am not sure how much he will use them so may buy a cheapish pair or a middle of the range pair and see how he gets on.

5mad the Lego board games are really fun. We have Shave a Sheep.

Weird - my ds is fairly over Lego stuff now and so are most of his friends. I've been a bit disorganised as his birthday is next month, but have tracked down a grow your own carnivorous plants kit on amazon, there will be some sort of cricket- related book and a Wii sports resort game which he has had his eye on since seeing it at his cousins' last Xmas. His grandparents are getting him a sort of chalk attachment thing that fits on the back of your bike and draws lines on the road - think you can get them from happy puzzle company. Anything "deadly 60" related would also go down well...

My DS is just 8 and he's asked for a tablet so we're going to get him a cheap one.
He will only get a couple of other things because of the cost of the tablet. He has asked for some moshi monster toys and my mum will get him moshi membership.

legalalien my elder two are 10 and 13 and still love lego as do all their friends, funny how they are all different!

thanks mybestfriends shall have a look at that one :)

Watching with interest.
