Gift for 6yo boy?

[klmama]

My nephew is turning six, and we are going to the party. He is the youngest of three boys, so he already has tons of Legos, Nerf guns, sports equipment, books, clothing, etc. What else do 6yo boys like?

What about a magazine subscription? I really like Cricket's high-quality offerings, such as Click or Ask if he is into science/animals.

Do you have National Geographic shops where you are? They have some cool stuff.

His own adventure bag! Small compass, flashlight, binoculars (Radio shack has a great 3 in 1 magnifying tool),

 

Or maybe his own laser?

Our boys LOVE this. If he has a cat, it makes an awesome cat toy, too!

We just bought Hexbugs for our 6 year old son and they were a huge hit.

We got them at Toys R Us.

 

They're basically little robotic bugs that vibrate and move around, plus flip back over if you turn them upside down. . You can build mazes and such for them. We got a starter kit with some maze pieces and a couple of bugs, but you can buy the bugs separately to save money and the kids can build them own mazes from cardboard, foam, Lego, or some combination of materials.
