If you're looking for something original, get him something religious.

Is he into music? Get tickets for a gig and take him. Best presents I ever gave my kids is taking them to gigs coz its building memories not just giving more stuff that gets broken and forgotten about.

Grand Theft Auto.

The original top down one isn't particularly graphic and teaches important life skills.

Failing that a rabbit or something, kids love pets.

PS Games, he has a few that he hasn't taken out of the wrapper yet, he plays it but he isn't addicted to it like you see some kids are.

Pets, no way ... his mother wont allow it.

AIB or BOI Shares, by the time he is 21 they might be worth money.

Hold off a week and you might be able to but the actual bank. How many nine year olds can say they have their own bank?

Anything dinosaur themed, with flashing lights and noise.

No wait a minute, that's my Christmas wishlist.

secret santa

rather than setting up a new thread..i've been drawn in secret santa in work with a $10 spend....i've got a girl..whats appropriate?

Suppose i could go down to the charity box down stairs and pillage from that..

I feckin hate secret santas.

Chocolates or some such is probably a safe bet.

Just staple a tenner to a card and call it an 'omnivoucher'.

I'd forgotten about the secret santa post above yours and, bearing in mind the title of the thread, was somewhat bewildered to read your post when I opened the thread just now.

I don't see what the problem is. What 9 year old boy thinks they have too much lego?

Went to buy some Lego in a big toystore the other day, and all you can buy is small little boxes of Star Wars/Toy Story etc figures, or maybe a box that creates one vehicle. Couldn't just buy a big box of blocks.
