What should I buy my son for christmas?

[dimwithwit]

My son is 7 going on 70. He has lots of outdoor toys, loads of crappy lego monsters, a heap of mini cars for racing with so we can't think what to get him. All the Wii will be sold out that's if i knew what one was.
Any Ideas? - help needed.

you could always ask him what he'd like.

Hey Dimwithwit,

I don't wish to sound rude, but have you asked him what he wants? I always used to get my kids to write a christmas list, that way you can get them something that they want and they won't know what you're buying.

If he can't think of anything give him some catalogues to look through.

Hope this helps xx

We have asked, wait for it, he'd like a computer, a TV and DVD player, a Real Car - Landrover with as many seats as you can get in them, or a Landcruser. Besides the Age requirements - they're a tad out of my price range. Not sure he's old enough for the computer, and they're not cheep. TV DVD, not sure I'd be happy with him having one of those in his room either.

he he!!! now who would have thought that!!! ask him to write a list for santa (or is he too old for santa) to get some ideas for him

I still write to santa and i get wot i want, but saying that i always leave a list next to my partners computer with amazon wish list in front of him.

He also wants a few DVD's - which is no-problem, personalised stuff. He is writing lists to Santa, it's a main present I'm struggling with. I'v tried to explain that as you get older you may not get as many but they might cost a bit more. so he's determind on the items I mentioned in my last reply.

Thank you for your answers, but an Iphone might be a tad old for him just yet.

knobby - of course I'll get you one.
Will you get me digital SLR camera?

Knobby hun , that's expensive to buy but also to run on the contract too , xx

I'm having the same problem too with my six year old.....I have just bought as his main present a stereo for his bedroom.I'll get him some dvd's too and a game for his xbox!
He's spoilt as it is and you cant move in his room for toys!

thanks to my 7 year olds sons obsession with little ornamental houses, his bedroom looks like an 80 year olds living room
