What to Give a 7Yr Old Boy?

I have a 7 yr old son and a 5 month old son and to be honest I prefer toys that keep him away from game systems. As for my son he likes arts and crafts stuff and sports stuff. I can get him outside to play with a soccer ball and make sure to keep an eye on him and the baby, but I also have a house with a big backyard as well as a privacy fence. As for arts and crafts: stickers, construction paper, crayons and map pencils, glue sticks (NOT BOTTLE GLUE), and water colors. Put all the arts and crafts stuff together in a gift bag.

Honestly, my 7 year old daughter, and her 7 year old boy cousin, LOVE to get money, especially if it is all singles. Or even a gift certificate..they really like to be able to go out and decide how they are going to spend their money. It is great, because it is easy too! ~A.~

How about a subscription to a magazine. Like, if he is into sports, ESPN for kids or if he is into nature, National Geographic for kids. Buy one magazine and enclose a note about the subscription.

A lot of the kids his age are into Webkinz. Not sure where you live but you can get them in a variety of places. If you go on their website it will give you a list of authorized dealers(usually some kind of gift shop). They cosy about $10-15 each.

ask mom if he has a game boy
they have some games that are not too pricy!
Thats what most 7yr olds like!!!

My son got the best gift ever for his 7th birthday! It is a book called The Dangerous Book for Boys and he absolutely loves it! It is a best seller...a big, thick book that is chock full of projects, neat facts, etc. He loved it so much that I bought 10 copies and have it stocked to give as gifts when he gets invited to parties. Everyone we've given one to has RAVED! It is $24.95 at Target and Barnes & Noble, but I found it FOR $14.95 at Sam's on Spring Creek in Plano!

Hi A.,

My step son is now 9 years old but I was married to his father when he was 7. At that time he loved anything that had to do with a video game or a movie. Maybe you could ask his mom for some suggestions as well. She should know what his favorite shows are, etc. I know my nephews liked Legos at this age. Seeing that you have a 2 year old girl and no boys I would certainly ask his mom what he likes and dislikes. If it weren't for my step son or nephews I would be just as lost. Good luck!
