Birthday Present.

Can anyone recommend a birthday gift for a 6 year old boy? (My grandson) It's not till next Wednesday. His mum and dad have got him a trampoline. He already has lots of Lego. Has bike and scooter. Even his mum has run out of ideas. Any inspiration out there? Thanks.

How about something like this.
( he'll be ok with a plastic apron ! ).

You've not given us a budget, which doesn't help.

I bought one of these for a very special boy's 5th birthday last year. I didn't see him until nearly two months later though, at his Dad's birthday barbecue bash.

Knowing how quickly youngsters break things, or simply get bored with them, I thought that he'd probably forgotten all about his gift from me by then but, instead, I found him racing around everyone there, determined to show off his watch which could (among many other things) take photos:

So it was definitely a present which was appreciated!

A costume of his favourite cartoon or super hero character. All my grandchildren have loved dressing up.

I was going to say the same as Chris!

It has games. Does pic, video, and impressed a 6 year old I got one for

My nephews at that age loved playing with hammers and drills. Ok, don't get him a drill. But a hammer, nails and a bit of wood might be fun for him.

I know it seems a good thing to go down the technical route but I think you need to concentrate on bringing out the playful side. I always buy my nieces proper toys and dressing up outfits.

When they were 6 I bought then some books to encourage reading and dressing up outfits and puzzles but the biggest hit was some colouring books that I chucked in at the last moment!

Thanks all for your ideas. I'll probably spend about £25. He definitely likes super heros, so might get dressing up suit. I think he will like smart watch too, so will look out for any deals.
