My nephew is going to turn 10, and I have no idea what to get him. I don't know what kids that age want.
Any advice at all for a really great gift would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Children's likes and dislikes change often. When in doubt, ask the parents for some ideas. They ought to be able to give a few pointers. I think when I was that age I probably liked video games and action figures, remote control cars.....

Rockets. The kind you take out in the back yard and blast off.

So he'll be ten... how buying him his first wallet (if he doesn't have one) and putting money in it... don't forget the birthday card!

More suggestions:
A kids bible such as the NIrV (New International Readers' Version) "The Adventure Bible"
An inexpensive watch --Target has several from $9.99 to $14.99 (and up).
A LEGO set.
Ask his Mom or siblings to find out what he already has, what he's wishing for and his favorite color.
Peace,
Anne

Gift certificate to Best Buy (maybe for $20 or $25).
It may not seem that personal, but there's tons of stuff they can put it towards (DVD's, CD's, video games, computer stuff, etc.). Let them choose their own gift. They like that.
Put it in a nice card.

A gift certificate is the ideal way to go. Provided you don't know exactly what he wants.
At age ten, I was becoming obsessed with Star Wars, because the Phantom Menace had just released, so I wanted a lightsaber instead of Legos or anything like that.

Find something he loves to do and then take him, maybe out to eat first.
Some one on one with him. Kids love attention.

When I was 10, I always wanted a Ferrari. I suppose, if you were willing to spend the money AND if you really wanted to get in his good-book.....

Thanks for the ideas! I like the rocket idea especially. And the Ferrari. Althoug that might wait until he's older.

I like the idea of getting a rocket for the kid's dad too. His father is a buddy of mine, and I see him every day. My nephew only sees his dad a few times a year because he (kid) lives in San Fran, and his dad and I both live in NYC. They'd have a blast rocketing together. I think I'll look for the biggest one I can find, then get two.

Thanks! I like the pirate theme too. I guess boys like anything that blows up though. I know I did!
I've decided also to get something that the kid can do with his dad. They live on opposite coasts and want to spend more time together.

This may be off the wall but what about dual web cams for your nephew and his father's computers. That way they can "see" each other more often when they talk.

You rule! I am going today to buy presents, and I'm adding this to the list. They will love being able to see and talk to each other!

Thank you so much. Now if I can just convince a small country I rule, perhaps I can be queen!
