Crazy Aarons Thinking Putty ($10):
Never heard of Thinking Putty? Neither had we until we saw a vendor selling this stuff at our local mall. This stuff seems to defy the laws of physics. It acts as both a solid and a liquid. It can bounce like a rubber ball, stretch like taffy, or smash like ceramic if you hit it on the sidewalk. It also changes color when it comes in contact with warm hands. This stuff is crazy and will certainly be a hit for the young man on your shopping list!
Spot It Game by Blue Orange:
Spot It by Blue Orange is a great child development game that can be played by children of all ages. My wife and I love it because the game is super easy to set up, its fun, and best of all, all three of our children (3 year old boy, and 5 and 8 year old girls) can play it with us (although our 3 year old needs a little help). The game encourages kids to match pictures on their own cards to the pictures on the cards from the deck as cards are flipped over one by one. The player with the most cards at the end of the game wins (after the deck of cards has been flipped over). You can by Spot It at most major retail stores or online. You can also read our full Spot It Game review.
Legos Legos Legos ($10+):
Boys love building things, and Legos are an exceptional outlet for this passion. A simple search on major Internet sites reveals over one thousand different Lego Kits and its easy to get overwhelmed with which set to buy. The good news is it really doesnt matter which set you get because boys will typically end up building (or trying to build) anything that comes into their head. With that said, I think the LEGO Maersk 2005 Sealand Ship
Money Soap ($10-$60):
This is probably one of the most clever gifts Ive seen in a long time! Not only does it encourage kids to wash their hands and take baths more frequently, it also makes a great gift! You can order Money Soap in $1, $5, $10, $20, and even $50 denominations. Soap is scented with a pleasant pear/green apple smell. This gift will serve as a great gag gift for older kids and adults too!
Gift Ideas Between $15 and $25:
You just cant go wrong with these Razor A Kick Scooters! Our kids absolutely love them and when used with helmets, theyre a great way for the kids to burn off some of their energy and get exercise. These scooters are offered in a variety of different colors and theyre built to last. Theyre rated for children (and adults) up to 143 lbs but they feel sturdy when I stand on them (6 and 180 lbs). You can order them online through Target, Toys R Us or just about any other major online retailer. Good Luck and Have Fun! Shop at Target.com

Flying SeaHawk Ceiling Mounted Airplane ($19):
This is the perfect gift for the boy or girl who loves airplanes! I bought this exact airplane for my 4 year old daughter in the Houston, TX airport on the way home from a business trip. She loved decorating the body of the airplane with her own princess stickers! The plane dangles from a ceiling mounted swivel and propels itself 360 degrees around the room.
Live Butterfly Garden ($16):
We first bought one of these Life Butterfly Garden kits for our children about 4 years ago and our kids absolutely love it! You really do get to watch the butterflies grow, and hatch! Our kids love watching the beautiful butterflies hatch and come to life. The kit is reusable and when theyre not filled with butterflies, our kids enjoy reusing the net to keep other critters like lightening bugs, lady bugs, grasshoppers and any other little critters they find around the house. This is probably the best $16 weve spent on a gift.
Zentangle Arts and Crafts Gift Basket:
The Zentangle craze is upon us! If your looking for gift ideas for a creative boy or girl on your shopping list who loves art, you should really look in to the various Zentangle arts and crafts products available on the market. Simply put, Zentangle is an artform that formalizes the the doodling that children (and adults) love to do anyway. By using structured shapes and containers on a piece of paper, zentanglers are have the freedom to fill in the shapes and containers with any shapes, patterns or design of their choosing. You can arrange the containers and block shapes into various objects, or you can just keep stringing them together and see where your imagination takes you! You can put together and inexpensive gift basket, or you can go all out and put together a high end zentangle package with the latest books, pencils, pens and stencils.
Junior Scientist Weather Station Kit ($15):
My First Weather Kit will blow you away! Learn all about extreme weather as you have fun with this complete weather station. Learn what makes a tornado form, and how to check windspeed. Learn what the eye of a storm means, and why are we having so many hurricanes and typhoons. The young man on your shipping list will discover all this and more as he becomes a weather expert.
Tech Deck Fingerboard Skateboards ($15):
I fully expect these tiny skateboards to be the next big thing. When I was 10 or 11 years old, I used to build my own miniature skateboards out of cardboard and broken pencils. They were primitive, but they were still fun to slide up ramps and across flat surfaces. These modern fingerboards include graphics from real Skateboard Companies. This pack comes with a skate rack, 3 complete fingerboards (each with real metal trucks, grip tape and real skate company graphics). You also get 3 additional decks to mix and match to suit your style, a tool, risers and bolts, and two sticker sheets to customize your boards. If only I had patented this idea when I first came up with it 20 years ago!
Solar System in My Room ($24):
A perfect gift for the junior astronomer on your shopping list. Now you can explore the wonders of the solar system right in your own room. Just look up at your ceiling and watch as all nine planets orbit around the light-up sun. Listen as the audio CD takes you on a fascinating tour of our solar system. Use the included light-pointer to locate each planet and make comets and meteors streak through the sky.
Model Rocket Kit by Estes ($24):
Parental supervision required! If the boy on your shopping list lives (or has access to) a wide open area, we highly recommend giving him a model rocket kit from Estes. Building your own rocket is fun, and launching it is even better! This kit from Estes includes two easy to assemble model rockets built with a cardboard body tubes and plastic cones. One rocket can fly up to 600 feet high and the other an amazing 1150 feet high. Pre-assembled plastic parachutes automatically deploy and allow the rockets to safely return to earth.

Zoob R/C Moover Creative Building Set ($49):
When I was a kid I enjoyed playing with a similar build your own electronic toy set although it wasnt nearly as cool as this popular set. The Zoob R/C Mover Power Building Set adds a new dimension to open-ended building. Kids snap, click, and pop ZOOB pieces onto the ZOOB R/C Mover to create anything they can imagine from creatures to robots to sculptures.

This set includes 50 ZOOB pieces, ZOOB Mover, remote control unit, 6 rubber-tipped feet, 4 AA batteries and 1- 9V battery and 3 instruction guides.
An Authentic L.L. Bean Backpack ($39):
In New England (and especially in my home state Maine), receiving your own L.L. Bean back pack (with your initials stitched in the front pocket) is a right of passage for children entering grade school. It is not uncommon for these backpacks to stay with the kid throughout his or her college years as well. Best of all, L.L. Bean backpacks come with an unconditional 100% money back guarantee. If the child on your shopping list wears the backpack out, they can simply send it back and get a new one! You can order L.L. Bean backpacks directly through their website.
Bounty Hunter Junior Metal Detector ($49):
When I was a kid, I loved going around with my cheap metal detector and digging up treasure in my parents lawn. This great metal detector is capable of detecting coin-sized objects up to 5 deep and larger objects to 3 ft., it also has discrimination control eliminating unwanted metals, while the target indicator meter measures signal strength. Who knows what your little friend will find!

With hands-on laboratory experiments for beginners, the scientist will build a strong foundation in chemistry through exposure to electrochemical reactions, acids and bases, indicators and chromatography. Although we normally recommend shopping online through Amazon, we have found this product for $50 at Target and Toys-R-Us (Amazon doesnt always have the best prices).
An Authentic L.L. Bean Sleeping Bag ($59)
Yes Im from Maine, and yes my in-laws work at LL Bean headquarters in Freeport, ME, but that doesnt stop me from making an unbiased recommendation of an L.L. Bean sleeping bag as a great gift for an active boy or girl! I literally grew up in one of these bags! Whether crashing on friends living room floor during a slumber party, or camping at a remote campsite, a good quality sleeping bag (especially one from L.L. Beans) will stand the test of time and keep the boy or girl in your life warm and cozy no matter where they end up sleeping! If youre not lucky enough to live by an L.L. Bean retail or factory store, you can shop for L.L. Bean sleeping bags online.
