June 18, 20187 yr Besides Best Buy coupons and a gift certificate to the Yellow Rose, anyone have any good bday ideas for a 10 yr. old boy? My wife wants to get him a Xbox but I'm hesitant on that idea.

June 18, 20187 yr Have you thought about getting him a Nintendo Switch? More of a 10 y.o. gaming system gateway into Xbox or playsation. I would also say a Wii, but I'm not sure those are even around anymore. Edited June 18, 20187 yr by BottleRocket
June 18, 20187 yr got a 10yo and most gifts revolve around sports equipment (basketball, baseball mitt, etc...), dry fit material shirts/hoodies and xbox related crap. 'toys' don't ever get played with as far as I can tell. occasionally, he can't fall asleep and will bust out a lego set and build for a little while, but that's it. If you are hesitant on the idea because it will make him an xbox crack head, then you are correct. I coach some of my boy's sports teams and it (Fortnite) is literally all they talk about when they get together.

June 18, 20187 yr An electric model train set, or a slot car racing track One of those crystal radio sets you build yourself A chemistry set A pair of walkie talkies
June 18, 20187 yr snap circuits star wars lego sets zoob sets https://www.google.com/search?q=zoob&rlz=1C1CHBD_enUS773US773&oq=zoob&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.951j0j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 my 10 year old loves all of the above. loves half price books gift certs too as he loves to read and he can pick his own stuff to supplement the regular library visits. "lord of the rings trilogy" and "hobbit" books "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" series of books 2017 version of the Ipad Edited June 18, 20187 yr by zork
June 19, 20187 yr Surprised no one has mentioned a 15yr old girl or a bike. He would probably like the bike better but give him time. While he can ride both, the 15 yr old girl will provide more of a challenge.

June 19, 20187 yr No, it's a great gift. I mean, I tried to give my son a 15 YO girl when he was 10 but he was kinda confused. The bike, though, that was a big hit. 'til she took it from him.
June 19, 20187 yr Give him a savings bond. Any 10 year old would be thrilled to receive one of those. Or a Certificate of Deposit in his name. Serious answer, get him something that he can do outdoors. A tent, a bike, a powered scooter. Something that will make him want to be outdoors.
June 19, 20187 yr He's going to need a pocket knife at some point, now would be a good time to set him on the right path.

'til she took it from him. Yeah, well look at it this way: It prepared him for adulthood like no pocket knife ever would.
June 19, 20187 yr I'd get like 4 super soakers and a shit load of water balloons, and invite his friends over. Maybe a RC 4x4 car for farting around. Tickets to a ball game, or whatever he likes, monster jam, Broadway play, etc.
June 19, 20187 yr 16 hours ago, DalTxHornFan said: Get him started on model rocketry. I loved that stuff when I was his age. Great idea, I remember model rocketry as kid. I started out with the kits, and then went on to design my own rockets, even submitting drawings to Estes and Centuri to as their opinion as to whether the designs were flight worthy or death traps. It's very stimulating to the mind and creativity.

I'm torn on getting him something he wants (xbox) vs. the fights and wasted time in front of the system. It's really tearing at me.

June 22, 20187 yr 1 hour ago, 4th and 5 said: I’m sure he would enjoy a nice quality tomahawk. Who wouldn't? But of course there is the issue of ordering a quality tomahawk and whether he would get it on time. Fort Turner is definitely out when it comes to that. H & B Forge put out a quality axe, but it takes time as well.
June 22, 20187 yr Phone. If he hasn't been bugging you for one yet, he will soon enough. Nice analog watch if he's the type of kid who wouldn't lose it.
July 1, 20187 yr I only clicked on this thread to see how long it would take to get the box of rubbers response.
