Fun gift for a seven-year old?

I want to give my seven-year old nephew something fun and different. I know he will be receiving a lot of legos and other "boy" toys. I thought of a gift basket with some activity kits and candy.

Fun gift for a seven-year old?
I'm happy to learn you're planning on giving something unique to your nephew for his birthday. I suggest you include the following in the gift bag you're making for him: activity and game books published by Klutz. I've given away many as gifts and bought others for use in my work as an educator. Here are my recommendations:



The Book of Classic Board Games

The Klutz Book of Paper Airplanes

http://www.klutz.com/catalog/product/114...



The Klutz Book of Paper Airplanes - extra paper

http://www.klutz.com/catalog/product/124...



A Super-Sneaky, Double-Crossing, Up, Down, Round %26amp; Round Maze Book

http://www.klutz.com/catalog/product/211...



The following are recommended for ages 8 and up, but they still get my vote:



The Klutz Yo-Yo Book

Explorabook

Earthsearch

I also suggest you consider buying him some books, including almost any title from the "I Spy" series from Jean Marzollo and Walter Wick, and the "Where's Waldo?" books by Martin Hanford.

I also recommend the following pop-up books (yes, pop-up books). I bet you even at his age he will appreciate the uniqueness of these two books by David A. Carter:

Reply:I'd suggest a webkinz! webkinz are a stuffed toy that comes with a code that lets you bring it to life on the computer! From there, you can design a house, earn Kinzcash(webkinz currency), play games in the arcade, shop for clothes, food ex, enter contests, and even more! webkinz are great for all ages!



Webkinz is also educational! You can learn new things by playing Quizzys. This is a game that you have to answer educational questions and if you get the answers right, you earn kinzcash!



webkinz is amazing! I have 19 of my own! Consider buying one as a gift for your nephew! Hope this helped!!
Reply:There are some interesting gifts on this website that you might be able to get some ideas from.
Reply:If the activity kits are for making toys that he can use to make airplanes, rocketships, aliens --- anything that he can build and use his imagination. Alot of seven-year-olds like to imagine themselves as and airplaine pilot, or a starfighter, or anything that isnt an everyday-job-that-a-monkey-can-get type of thing. And for the candy, dont give too much, i've seen seven-year-olds "bounce off the walls."
