Pressie ideas 8 yr old boy

[buster]

Any birthday present ideas for an 8 yr old boy???? Want to spend no more than $20.

Does he like reading? You could try -
Harry Potter
Lemony Snickett
Ask a book retailer whats the newest "in stuff is.
Roald Dahl

- Does he have a pool or go to the beach?You could get a pool toy or a foam boogyboard.

- Does he have an Ipod? You could buy a $20 I tunes voucher or a CD for his collection (if he has one)

-If he likes labels in the surf shop you could get a cap/hat/ pencil case/ cooler bag for school/wallet/havinannas thongs

- A new DVD that has just come out from Big W/Target.

- Does he like painting/drawing. A really nice set of pencils/paints and a sketch pad/cheap canvas.

- Is into Footy? Maybe some footy parehnaila such as singlets. shoes etc. I know Kmart does it.

Hope this helps.Goodluck

my cousins (8, 10,13) all just love getting the cash in a card ( i only give $10)...not very "presenty" i know but then they get to put it towards whatever hugely expensive item they really want...lol
