What to get my son...?
32 Answers
Ok, so I know this is a bit of a stupid question, as none of you know my son, but I am having MAJOR difficulties in trying to think of things to get him for Christmas.
The only thing he has an interest in are his wii, DS and Playstation, but I don't just want to get him games as it seems a bit boring - not to mention the fact I don't want to encourage him to just sit there and play them all day every day. He's 11, and doesn't really play with toys. I asked him if there were any toys he wanted and he just said (in the voice of Kevin the teenager) "I'm too old for toys". Er... I was still playing with my Cindy doll when I was 14!!
Parents who have children of this age (and older) what do you get them when they reach the age of no longer playing with toys?
