Need a birthday present for nephew - please no "depends what his interests are" answers or "ask his mum" - I've no idea and she's no help! Only know he's into gymnastics

He might already have it but what about 'The Dangerous Book For Boys'.
We bought it as a confirmation gift for 8 yr old nephew and it's full of boy type stuff (tree climbing/how to make a tree house/how to win at conkers/the rules of cricket etc) and both he, and his dad, love it.

Would think it would be fine as it says great for ages 8 to 80 but you could always have a look in Tesco instead to see for yourself.

my 8-yr-old adored the Guiness Book of records. Spent months boring the pants off us...
