£10-£15 gift for a 5 year old, reception class boy?

[DualFuel]

I know he has grown out of Thomas the Tank Engine but not sure what the next step is for boys, I only have girls and boys are a bit of an unknown for me. For his birthday I bought him a JCB truck thingy and apparently struck gold with that gift so don't want to let the side down by getting something lame. I need to defend my crown of being the 'cool aunty'

Nerf guns are your friend.

Foshp.

Tut.

Fosho.

Lego is always a hit

"Nerf guns are your friend" Yes, but I fear his mother would no longer be

I too hate nerf guns. I always give money in a card. Always goes down a treat.

Well, I'm a mom, I think they're ace.

Especially the ones with the green discs.

My kids also love asda or amazon gift cards.

So ner!

OK thne, what about a Where's Wally book?

Magnetix

Meccano?

The imaginext batman stuff is a big hit with my DS and nephews.

Lego City stuff?

I suppose it depends on your background. My dh grew up in a rough area and does not want guns. I have 5 boys op & some toys always cause trouble.

The Lego Brickmaster things a re good. Amazon has a Star Wars one here for £11 or if he hasn't been hit by the Star Wars bug yet he might liek the Lego City one

anything superhero related! Spiderman web battler? Spiderman walkie talkies? I have a 5 year old boy and all his friends are similarly obsessed with spiderman/marvel avengers/batman.

Sorry for typos.

Ds is five. Hot wheels tracks for the wall? Coo Ell.
Or, anything remote controlled.

My 5 year old loves imaginext batman and anything spiderman or star wars related. The big web shooting spiderman is reduced to £15 from £35 in asda and maybe Argos just now.

Hmmm that spiderman seems to be back up in price now sorry.

Would this be cool? www.amazon.co.uk/Hasbro-Amazing-Spider-Man-Hero-Glove/dp/B00665TFFO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1354489274&sr=8-2

I've just bought that glove for ds and 2 of his friends

Bea Thanks, that seals the deal. Its in the Amazon shopping basket

Thanks all, much appreciated.
