9yr old boy big present?

[pennygirl26]

What has everyone got their boys for their big gifts? He's the only one to get now and I'm all out of ideas. He's already got bikes 2 xboxs a tablet his mums getting him a mobile this year so me and my husband are totally stuck?

I've never understood the need for a 'main' present. Just get more small/medium sized things if there is nothing more expensive they want.

Great idea on Fitbit ace! Getting that

DS3 has asked for a Fitbit.

Mine asked for a Lego set too - an arctic one with a plane. I’m sure there are special parts he wants instead.

Our ds wanted Star Wars Lego but instead of buying one big one we got him several smaller ones so that he can play battles and gets more mini figures. Dd got big Lego set.

DS is 8 and is getting a Hoverboard and Kart and a Kano Harry Potter Coding Wand.

We got him an Anki Overdrive last christmas (well for him and his older brother) and he loved it.

My DS9 is getting a load of Harry Potter Lego, lazer nerf guns and an amazon dot among other things. He is a big how to train your dragon fan so we have some toys from the upcoming movie.

Our 9 year old has asked for the nerf laser tag guns, not sure we have enough space to play with them though. He also mentioned Jurassic world Lego and an Xbox driving game but it will be either those or nerfs I think. He will get books and a geological time line mug from me too, and both ds s are getting ukuleles.

My 8.5 year old has asked for a robot that responds to commands so we got the Meccano one.

Ds’s big presents are a MacBook, Beats headphones (we got a voucher when we bought the MacBook or we wouldn’t spend that much on headphones) and the Harry Potter Lego Great Hall.

My 9 year old is having for an iPod nano, Harry Potter Lego, technic Lego, a 3D pen and some books (Dr who/David Walliams) ooh and Harry Potter top trumps

sloegin where are you getting a nano, please? I thought they'd stopped selling them? DS wants one... possibly because his sister has one.

Oh my goodness I hadn't heard of the Kano Harry Potter wand until this thread and now I'm wavering! I've got DS Hot Wires which he will like, but he loves building stuff AND he loves Harry Potter! I'm going to have to switch, aren't I? They only get one 'big' gift from us and if I give him both I'd have to buy another big thing for DD and then WHERE WILL IT END???

The wand is supposed to be pretty cool, right? He's got a Kindle Fire from last year - anyone know if it works with those?

Argh. I always do this. Shop too early and twitch!

WHAT about one of those mini Polaroid cameras?

Could someone recommend me a 3D pen or kit or whatever this involves please? I am clearly years behind the times but I’ve never heard of them and arty DS would like one, I think. It has to be straightforward to use though as although he is 10, I suspect dyspraxia.

Mini Polaroid cameras cost so much in paper - 10 shots for £15! My niece took 10 shots in 3 minutes!
Would be cheaper in the long run to buy a normal digital camera and printer
