need gift idea for 7 year old boy. Would love to get him something "classic" (read: was around and awesome when we were kids) that he wouldn't think of himself or that his friends probably don't have (unless they're awesome). Less than $50. Like Gak or Moon Shoes, but better.[Edited on June 6, 2013 at 1:57 AM. Reason : K]

Im pretty certain toys like the pogo ball are invented by orthopedic surgeons

Find him a big wheel. When he thinks it's lame, teach him to drift it.

get him a "ball-in-a-cup"Mexico's Favorite Toy For over 1000 years!The objective is to catch the ball in the cup.No need to worry if you miss, as the ball is attached to a string that is attached to the cup!Storage is as easy as catching a ball in a cup!

Nerf gun. End thread.

^ yup. I have a 7 and a 9 year old and my boys have a dozen or so nerf guns/bows/disc shooters of different varieties. New guns still get the best reactions at birthday and christmas timeThey are way cooler than when I was a kid and pretty affordable for gifts. You can't go wrong. [Edited on June 6, 2013 at 10:19 AM.

I'll third the Super Soaker. You should be able to get a killer one for $50 that he can wreck his friends with.That Pogo Ball commercial brings back memories.Memories of blisters on the side of my feet.

Spirographbut be VERY careful which version you get. several years ago, there was a "new" version which absolutely sucked. Do not get that one.Now they've brought back the original design in a small tin box. It's called "Spirograph Design Tin Set" and costs $15. Great for a 7-year old. as a parent of a 8 year old, we have way too many nerf guns and super soakers. don't fall for the hype.http://www.amazon.com/Kahootz-01002-Spirograph-Design-Tin/dp/B009VE38D2/ref=pd_sim_sbs_t_2/185-3331805-9390626[Edited on June 6, 2013 at 11:22 AM.

Aww, man, I was trying to think of the spirograph, but I couldn't remember what it was called.The other links on that Amazon page reminded me that Ravensburger always had the best stuff:http://www.ravensburger.com/us/start/index.htmlFor starters, the kid is definitely gonna need a copy of Labyrinth if he doesn't have it already.
6/8/2013 1:58:56 AM
first ask the parents if you can give him a Nerf gunsome parents don't want their children playing with the likenesses of death machinesthen, once you have the okaygive the boy a gun so he doesn't turn gay

legos, erector sector, nerf gun or opt for super soaker since it's summer. could always go for roller blades or some other sporting gear like a skateboard

Yeah it's not even a fair contest. It's the San Antonio Spurs vs a 3rd grade basketball team.
6/8/2013 9:37:59 PM
K'Nex are too temperamental for a seven year old to put together without getting frustrated. Legos are much more fun.

my vote is for crossfire but it's probably near impossible and/or expensive to get nowadaysyou can't go wrong with a nerf gun

microscope srsly. my brother had this one transformer named perceptor i think. well he wasalso a microscope and i played with him as a microscope, not a robot. then i got a better microscope and a telescope, etc. if i had a kid i would have stuff like that and a library of great textbooks full of pictures and explore the world.
