DS is 7. I usually have a fairly good idea about what to get but I am utterly stuck this year.

He is showing a small interest in the little Lego kits but other than that I am stumped!

I have a 7 year old boy too - he would like Jurassic World toys, Minecraft Lego, sea monster toys (where will I find those?!) and a play kitchen.

He's actually super easy to buy for, it's my almost 11 year old that's going to end up with a selection box and yoyo!

themumfairy · 20/08/2015 16:49

I have boys that's 6 and 8.
6 year old likes Chelsea so anything with the badge on. he likes his wrestling ring so maybe a few new figures. he's got his heart set on the descpicle me fart blaster. tbh the only things he's asked for is the fart blaster and some lynx spray Hmm

8 year old wants anything jurassic world. quilt, towel, toys, ds game, lego, dvd etc.

I'm struggling with both my boys this year, they will be 8 and 4. 7st saw this for ds 1 tho, I think it looks pretty cool. Link is to Irish smyths site, but imagine it's on the UK version too!

It's August, isn't it?

306235388 · 20/08/2015 18:49

It's the Christmas topic isn't it?

curriegirl · 20/08/2015 19:00

And what's your point ivegot?

Ivegot is probably reminding us it's time to put the sprouts on. Xmas Grin

1122christy · 20/08/2015 19:07

My son is 7 He is getting the Lego dimension starter pack (bit like skylanders/disney infinity), Lego Minecraft, Lego Jurassic world, hero mashers, goosebumps books, Minecraft figures, Xbox game Jurassic world, hulkbuster for Disney infinity, kreo transformers. He might get some character packs for the Lego dimension game too.
Not all from us I'd like to add lol.

fattymcfatfat · 20/08/2015 19:10

my DS will be 7 at Christmas. he has told me he is asking Santa for a new tablet (which is on the way, got it as a free gift when I joined sky Grin ) a box of experiments and a clown outfit to scare his uncle! I've also got him the minion fart blaster thing and minion operation game. he also wants new Xbox games. will be asking family to buy clothes or Lego/ k'nex (or a cheaper equivalent) other than that I'm stumped. probably just cheap tat, as he's the oldest of three and really don't have a lot of money.

Lego
Nerf gun
Fart blaster (I'm sensing a theme! :))

OhHolyFuck · 20/08/2015 20:03

Ds1 wants skylander figures, Lego and Disney vinylmation toys

MidnightDinosaur · 20/08/2015 20:27

Ds1 is 6. He's getting Lego Ninjago, flight of destiny, mechdragon and he was going to get ninja dbx but think that is changing to Lego Ninjago Master Wu's dragon. He's also getting snap circuits, zoob, a Lego ideas book and a super soaker gun (Christmas in summer here)

Ds2 will be 5. He's getting the Jurassic world Lego for his birthday in a couple of weeks. For Christmas he's getting the last bit of Lego City Arctic Lego to complete his set plus Lego City Spaceport and Lego City space jet transporter. He'll also get a set of Magformers and a monster car laser pegs set, plus a book & a super soaker as well.

Presents have been so much easier for them since they got into Lego.

MidnightDinosaur · 20/08/2015 20:32

Oh and if dp's bonus comes through, they might (only might) get the Lego Dimensions starter set and Ninjago characters as a joint gift but not totally decided on that yet.

Father Christmas brings their stockings and a joint present, the rest is from us/family.

wankerchief · 20/08/2015 20:41

Ds1 will be 13
Lego big bang
Lego minecraft
Swiss army knife
Zombie t shirt
Funko sheldon figure
I tunes gift card

Ds2 will be five

Lego juniors x 4
Talking minion
Fart gun
Jolly postman Christmas
Minion dvd
Funko minion figure

To share: skylanders superchargers

Also get a stocking with about £25-30 worth of good stuff from santa

wickedlazy · 20/08/2015 20:42

Ds getting a ps4 and a few games from the family all chipping in, he's the only grandchild santa. He's a bit young, but loves playing on his friends and I know it'll be used. Dp really wants one too, and looking forward to a go myself.

wickedlazy · 20/08/2015 20:43

Is wrong that it's kind of a present for us too? Or does the fact ds really wants one make it a win win?

SeasideSunshine · 20/08/2015 20:49

All the interest here is for Lego Dimensions and anything Lego Jurassic Park, Ninjago, and Scooby Doo. With an extra request for that minions fart gun. Grin

Stompylongnose · 21/08/2015 11:41

I'm expecting some sort of Star Wars toys to be on my son's list because of the new movie that's coming out in December.

TheOnlyPink · 21/08/2015 12:36

stompy that's a really great point, I'd forgotten about that. My ds 1 has been a huge star wars fan since he was tiny, he's bound to want star wars stuff! Thank you for the reminder! Flowers

AnneEtAramis · 21/08/2015 14:23

Interested in the fart blasters.

DS1 (9) is getting a guitar
DS2 (7) is getting a camera
DS3 (4) is getting a tablet and headphones

I would like to encourage more Lego and I know DS2/3 will like this.

TheWoollybacksWife · 21/08/2015 17:00

DS has asked for a "Make Your Own Lightsaber" kit. It is listed on Amazon but not in stock so I don't know if that is a goer.

Lego Dimensions starter kit for sure and his big sister is buying him the Ninjago pack.

He wants Roald Dahl books and needs a new LFC kit. His birthday is in early January so need plenty of ideas for that too.

Fart blasters not on the list yet. He causes enough havoc with his whoopee cushion. GrinGrin

SouthWestmom · 21/08/2015 22:03

Stocking with one or two 'list' items. Main present is either tickets (HP world last year) or a magazine subscription - pocket world or moshi

WhatWouldTheDoctorDo · 22/08/2015 20:49

Lego dimensions is on the list here too for DS (7).

There'll also be bloody more Lego, Chima I expect.

Beyond that, not sure yet. There'll be a board game and books. I'm going to wait a bit nearer the time to finalise the list this year to see if his interests change after a month or two back at school!

Deltabeta · 22/08/2015 22:09

I've not started on my DS's Christmas stuff but have just finished buying his birthday pressies for next week. He will be 7. I have spent too much so will keep some back for Xmas.

Pie face game
Nerf wooden target
Cd/bluetooth boombox
Roald dhal audio book CD collection ( he is really bad at settling to sleep so I hope these might help).
Mog the cat audio cd
Disney infinity turtle beach gaming headphones
1 set jurrassic world lego
1 set Ant Man lego
Jurassic world lego xbox game
Call of duty megablocks army type thing
Just dance disney game for xbox
Minions junior novel
Dinosaur and jeep (cheap set from B&M but bet he will love it the most!)

For Christmas I will probably get some minecraft lego, lego dimensions and maybe a guitar or something depending on funds.
