I am Secret Santa to a fifth grade boy. I don't know anything about
his hobbies or interests.
Does anyone have any ideas for popular Christmas gifts? I'd like to spend around twenty-five dollars. I think it would be
more fun to have two or three smaller presents to unwrap rather than
one big one. I think I'll get a classic board game -- checkers,
Monopoly, Clue -- as part of the gift. Many kids don't have the
classics these days; also, he has a large family and his brothers and
sisters could enjoy the game as well. I'd love to get a Spirograph
if I can find one. In addition to the main gift, I'm going to put
together a stocking with cards, slipper socks, a toothbrush, etc. Are
Legos or K'Nex too young for a fifth grader? |

games. If it's not a video game, there's not a lot of kids that'd be interested
these days. Lego is good. The current BIONICLE concept seems to be very popular, and there
are more advanced versions of Lego that are suitable for a kid in this age
bracket. Only problem with Lego is it can be expensive. You might find out, if you can, if the boy is into things like sports, or
perhaps action figures. There's a wide variety of both to choose from. A good
football or soccer ball might go over well in the case of the former, and
action figures such as Star Wars, G.I.Joe, Masters of the Universe, or Gundam
might work well in the latter case. |
