Help please. I'm a loss with ds's main present. As the title says he's 7.

We have tonnes of playmobil. A train set. A massive dinosaur collection. Loads of craft stuff. Several castles. Bookcases full of board games (and books). He has a bike and a scooter. We have an xbox x that they got last year and I don't want more technology. He's got and loves a yoto player.

He's getting a keyboard (musical) as a joint gift with his sister and my mum has bought him a magic set and a chemistry set. Mil is getting them a telescope.

He's sporty (plays football for a local club, does street dance and runs), he goes to Beavers, likes music and drama. At the moment his current obsession is ships. He has a brick Titanic (not lego), a ship in a bottle, many books about ships and several playmobil ships. I'm uncomfortable with adding to our lego collection because he gets half way through and then I end up finishing it.

What are you all getting your 7 year old boys?

Gravitrax
Den building kit
Knex or Meccano Junior - the Knex Imagine Creation Zone 50 Model set and the Meccano Junior 150 piece tub are more open ended than a specific Lego kit
Sphero Mini (or the Botley robot if you think the sphero would be too advanced)

My 7 year old wants a Tamagotchi, Spy Glasses, needs a new Scooter and I am considering buying him a camera.

I have seen a glow in the dark dinosaur blanket he will like which will be good to take on Beaver Camp as well as going on his bed.

V tech "go pro" type thing. Currently on offer on amazon.

Possibly a smart watch/fitbit/game watch. Nothing too expensive though , both DS have flik flak watches that they love but also want something more fun.

Our 7 year old loves his VTech Action camera, so wouldn't definitely second the suggestion above.

other hits here at present are:

  • air hockey set
  • Snap Circuits
  • dino dig type sets - he's getting the gemstone one for Christmas


His main Christmas present will be a Lego trainset. He's had a Brio set until now, so this in an 'upgrade' more suited to his age.

When my DD was 7 she wanted a Den Kit/adventurers kit. Still loves it now at 9. We got her binoculars, bug jar with magnifying glass, identification guides, ponchos, bungees, tent pegs, waistcoat with pockets etc.

DS turns 8 at christmas so a similar age - his main presents are a new scooter (an older age one to replace his maxi micro one) and tickets to the hot wheels monster truck tour in January
