hsmom Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 My oldest turns 13 Monday and I still have no idea what to get him. We are not having the party until that next weekend so I still have time. I am so lost on what to get him. Any ideas would be awesome!

Jean in Newcastle Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I saw that your signature says that he's skateboard crazy. Perhaps some ramps or something for skateboarding? A racing game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmom Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 He just got all that not too long ago. This is why I am at a loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrappyhomeschooler Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Maybe some other type of sports parephenalia that he can branch out to? Like street hockey sticks and a puck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmom Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 That does sound fun. He could use it for a few months before the streets become ice...I will have to run it by dh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Do they have skate parks in your area? Perhaps a membership to a skate park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Mungo Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Do you have a game console? Do you own The Beatles Rockband game? Because that's what I want for my birthday. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarfoot Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I just bought Yo-Yo's for my 2 oldest as their "share-my-birthday" gifts when their sister turned three. It's not a fancy thing, but, wow, they have had a ball with them. They watch tricks on YouTube and get a lot of pointers. They're getting pretty good! I think it's kind of a stress reliever, too, not that they have a lot of stress.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmom Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Do you have a game console? Do you own The Beatles Rockband game?

Starr Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 An airzooka! Very fun air blaster. It makes a great noise and sends a blast of air at, well, whatever. Try Thinkgeek.com my favorite for crazy fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHASRADA Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Funny how kids can be so different. My ds always starts his birthday request list a month or two in advance. If it involves anything electronic, he is surfing the net comparing options and chatting me up about why this model is better than another, hint, hint ;). Think if he has given you any unnoticed hints, or maybe told other family members. Otherwise, think about things he is interested in. I have gotten a lot of great educational toys from Rainbow Resource. In fact, I got a lot of birthday gifts from their holiday catalog. A game for any system he already has, yo-yos are great, any kind of gross squishy stuff, a pet frog/lizard/etc.? HTH, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 my son turned 13 Tuesday and he got a $100.00 bill I did the same thing with my oldest My son thinks it is just so cool. He also went to see Iron Man 2, the mall, and dinner out with about 8 friends (friends paid there on way) He had a blast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
