6th birthday present ideas - boy

[drewid]

Any ideas on what to buy for a 6yo boy for a birthday party?

I'd have heaps of ideas for my own, but my budget for presents for friends is a little more limited.

I don't want to get something that he'll already have a million of, so are there any kind of unique, little different, ideas of what to get?

This has probably already passed but visit the Australian Geographic shop or Socrates. :D Excellent shops! :thumbsup:

Depends on the child's inclinations, of course, but I just gave a very sporty little boy we know a game where a tennis ball sticks to a glove-like thing, and they get two gloves so two kids can throw the ball back and forth. Can't remember what it was called, but it was about $12 in the sports section at Target.

I usually add a book as well ... I keep a stash of books I order from the school Book Club, and buy a bunch whenever the price is good, then package them up with other things for birthday presents.

I recently bought my 6 year old nephew a 'sleeping bag', just one of those small child's one and apparently he loves it!:thumbsup:

Leggo :yes:

Depending on your budget you can get all sorts from $6-$150 i got my nephew the big tub with 1800 pieces for around $70 i think, there was enough leggo there to build a whole community!

It was a winner for him (he turned 5) and my DS spends all his pocket money on leggo and plats with it at least once a day.
