Kids seem to be into those Nerf N Strike things, Check them out they have some savage guns and stuff

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.

let him out of the cellar for a few hours.

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.

A 9 year old girl?

Can't go wrong with anything pink/purple and fluffy/glittery.

DOH! I blame the gibbering idiot distracting me on the bus and lack of sleep last nite. Or maybe am just thick.:-(

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.

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..
