game/gamestation do a gold collection gogos tin-contains ten gold gogos, bought this as one of his birthday presents, he is very pleased with it. cost £10

does he like horrid henry? again, bought ds a wii horrid henry game £15, loves it.

if he likes pokemon, maybe a dino slasher?- dont really know what this is-something that you attatch to your arm?? but ds kept going on about it.

Thanks, lots of lovely ideas.

I have not heard of the dino-slasher (sigh) I bet he would love it, will go look!

Those special gogos tins are a good thing. have also been looking at stuff on Science Museum shop site which is good if anyone else is looking.

Taffetacar, what is Match Attax? I am intrigued!

I have just googled the Dino Slash thing. It's another one of these trading card based ideas.

The thing to go on your arm is a battery powered card reader that flashes and beeps when you swipe the cards in it. Apparently there is a TV programme - Dinosaur Kings which is probably the marketing vehicle for all this stuff.

I bet 6 year old boys love it.

Match Attax are football trading cards. You can get a MA folder to keep them in and then buy the packs - 50p each per pack of 6. He trades with all his friends at school. They aren't allowed to take GoGos in. He trades GoGos in the holidays.

But then he tries to sell me things most days. Normally his artworks but sometimes my own stuff.

DH is a trader.
