    Default Help!!! Need ideas for gifts!

    I have been looking for some things for my boys (7 & 10) cause they have all the Legos they need and not really interested in toys for Christmas. I also don't want to get them any "electronic" type of stuff. So here are some things I have found that I thought others may be interested in. Also, do you have any ideas/suggestions? My daughter (7) is SUPER easy to buy for but I am really struggling with ideas for my boys.

    Angry Birds: Birds in Space Game ($6.99 at the moment)

    Wooden Chess Set

    HedBanz game

    I also got them 1000 piece puzzles (1000 pieces will keep them occupied for a long time ). One of different types of spiders and one that is different types of bats.

    If u get a 1000 piece puzzle you'll be doing that.majority of the work.
    I have 3 boys all so different.
    If you buy, at the dollar store , several 100 piece puzzles it would be easier.
    Have you gone on pinterest? I bet they have boy ideas.
    My sons like nerfs, also word search, ....mardrls used to.have blank puzzles. They were all white and the child draws on it. I have no idea if they still have them but they were fun.
    But try pinterest

    When my ds was about that age we got him an erector set. He enjoyed it for a long time. Also, even though you don't want electronics, one of his favorite gifts ever was one of those small wireless helicoptors. I was a little hesitant to get one (was not sure it would hold up) but it lasted pretty long and he played with it daily. He learned alot about hand/eye coordination with it. Since they have legos have you purchased one of those lego "mats", the flat board that has the logo surface. He loved it because if he did not get to finish his "creation" he could slide the whole thing under his bed until he could play again and did not have to worry about it falling apart. He would build entire cities on that thing.
