MrsBanjoClown Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 My boys are 8 and almost 6. Every year, the grandparents ask us to make a wishlist for the boys for Christmas/birthdays. My parents called the other day and mentioned that my in-laws have purchased just about everything off of the list, and now they don't know what to buy. Apparently my in-laws have gone overboard this year. I'm thankful for all they do, but I really don't know where we are going to put all of this stuff. My dad really wants to get the boys something to build with. They are already getting K'nex, Snap-Circuits, and a Keva contraptions catapult. They have Legos and Lincoln Logs. Any other ideas?

jujsky Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 More Legos? There are so many cool sets available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYoungerMrsWarde Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Do you have room for a PVC pipe building set? (I store mine in a (bought new for this purpose) garbage can.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unicorn. Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I agree w/ more legos! What about a medievel castle block set: http://www.rainbowresource.com/proddtl.php?id=046256 or zoob-bot: http://www.rainbowresource.com/product/sku/027103/04b04712d73e6e8ac4ee2945 or zoob racer: http://www.rainbowresource.com/product/sku/013742/04b04712d73e6e8ac4ee2945 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 What's the budget? 'Cause those Builder Boards are way, way cool. A girlfriend made her own for her kids (her dad has advanced woodworking tools she used) and they are SO neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacia Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 How about a Mini Weapons of Mass Destruction book (either the first or second one) & then some 'supplies' to go w/ the book? A similar idea would be The Dangerous Book for Boys, along w/ some supplies listed in the book.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I always ask relatives for movie tickets and Sonic gift cards for my boys. I also have a list of books that the kids would like. Or video games, board games, or sports equipment. We have asked relatives for HeadBanz game, Apples to Apples. And my ds9 wants a pogo stick! (I said no because ds12 broke BOTH arms earlier this year.) A favorite movie is also good. And experiences are great, especially if there is some conflict between the grandparents. Ice skating, bowling, roller skating, movies, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
