Digging Kit
This ancient explore digging kit comes with 5 different items to chip away with the included tools. It also has a cool book about the items you find.
Lego Technic monster trucks
If your boys are into LEGO like mine, there are so many options to choose from. My son loves building and racing these pull back monster jam trucks!
Soccer net and ball
This net is perfect for target practice inside or outside. If you have a boy who loves sports, this is perfect.
Super mario chess
Chess is such a fun way to use your brain, and the Super Mario characters just make it more exciting to play.
Remote control battle robots
Remote control battling robots are always a hit! Bash each of their stomachs and the head will pop off. It’s pretty funny.
pokemon jumbo poke construction set
This building blocks set is cool because it lights up and it’s a sphere shape. Just over 300 pieces, it says 10 + but my son was able to do it at age 8.
Taco vs burrito
This fun and easy to learn card game is perfect for family game night
Suitcase
Heading on a trip soon? Get your child their very own carry on suitcase!

My son seems to be obsessed with hats these days. Anything from his favorite sports team to destinations we’ve visited. It makes a great gift!
Gumball machine
What kid wouldn’t love a piggy bank that also gives out gumballs!
Blokus
Blokus is a strategy game where you try to be the one to have the least amount of blocks at the end of a game. Great game night addition!

A great travel accessory to help those boys keep suitcases organised and to ensure they are not rewearing dirty clothes!
ticket to ride
Ticket to Ride First Journey is for ages 6+ but it’s perfect for ages 7-9 too. Fun addition to game night.
baseball bat and ball
More gift ideas for the sports fan! I like this bat and ball set because it’s foam so you can’t hit it too hard or far, making it perfect for playing in the street or backyard.
Money safe locker
Why not give a fun and cool looking way to store money and other important items. There’s a slot for bills and coins and set their own password to retrieve it!
flag football set
Grab a group of friends together for a flag football tournament. This kit comes with enough belts for 10 players.
Snap circuits
Snap Circuits is a fun and safe way to play with and learn about electric circuits. Make a fan blow, a bell ring and more!
throw throw avocado
This game is a fun and fast paced-sort of card game but with lots of movement and action involved. Great addition to family game night!

This is one of the most used gifts my son has received. He has had it for a few years and never gets bored building new tracks for the marbles to race down.
