School-Aged Children

Mom's of 10 year old, or close, boys...

what are you getting them for christmas?  I am just plain out of ideas this year.  I know we are going to break down and buy a Wii but other than that I am clueless. Will also do clothes but would like a few smaller objects he could open up.

  • We are breaking down and getting a Wii, both of our boys have been asking for a long time. Good Luck!
  • Loading the player...
  • My son just celebrated his 10th birthday and we got him the Playstation 3 with the Playstation Move.  So for Xmas we will probably get him more games to play on it.

  • Ideas: Games for the Wii, Itunes gift card, IPOD, alarm clock, PJ's, Pillow (we do new pillow and PJ's every year), does he need a new updated bike or scooter, roller blades, books, cheap digital camera.
  • A new DS since and some games.  And some kind of science project kit, not sure which one yet.

  • lego sets?  Star Wars, or space agents, or bionicle or something?

    books?

    construction kits or science experiment kits?

    computer games?

    We got a Wii the year my kids were 8 and 4, and -- honestly -- neither they nor I remember what else they got that Christmas.  The Wii is a BIG deal for kids, and you can expect that it will eclipse everything else.  So it's a good year to go light on the other stuff.  The year we got ours I bought accessories we'd need and wrapped them up, which was fun.  And you know you're going to buy those accessories anyway, so why not give them as Christmas gifts.

  • Nathan would like a Nintendo DSI, IPOD and a laptop.  We think we are going to get him a laptop or netbook.

    The new pillow and pj's is an awesome idea! Now that our DS is getting into pre-teen years, I always put a new toothbrush, tooth paste, deo, shower gel, sponge, shampoo, floss, and a few little games in his stocking! Also, socks, underwear, and maybe an itunes gift card or two!
