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' Grin

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

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

ChaosTrulyReigns · 02/12/2012 22:53

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.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 02/12/2012 22:53

So ner!

ChaosTrulyReigns · 02/12/2012 22:54

ChaosTrulyReigns · 02/12/2012 22:54

Magnetix

ChaosTrulyReigns · 02/12/2012 22:55

Meccano?

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

ChaosTrulyReigns · 02/12/2012 22:55

Lego City stuff?

notnagging · 02/12/2012 22:56

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.

TheHouseofMirth · 02/12/2012 22:56

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

BiBiBroccoli · 02/12/2012 22:56

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.

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

BeaWheesht · 02/12/2012 22:57

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.

BeaWheesht · 02/12/2012 23:00

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