Need 11 ideas for 11 year old boy Christmas/Birthday gifts

[love2disney]

So each year my kids get the same number of gift as their age [ends at 16]. This year my son turns 11. These are definitely not all expensive gifts. Can be small stuff. He has a ereader and an Ipad. We got him a laptop at the beginning of the school year with the understanding that it was one of the gifts from the 11. We own an Xbox and Wii and do not need any new video games. SO I am looking for more gift ideas.
Here is what I have so far
1. Nike shoes [outlet on Black Friday]
2. Music Sheet stand [something he has been asking for some time]
3. Pajamas [usually he has socks too but we just got him some]

I am not looking for big dollar ideas but they can be more than stocking stuffers.

New sunglasses
New waterbottle or mug or glass
Electric toothbrush
Gamestop gift card for a new game
New sheet music to go on the stand
Tickets to a local college hockey or basketball game

Hopefully some of those work for you!!

You mentioned sheet music... What instrument does he play? Perhaps accessories for that? (My youngest ds (11, too!) plays guitar & asked for picks...) Metronome?

Funky winter hat (assuming you live in an area where cold weather occurs... forgive me if I'm wrong!) & good gloves/mittens

slippers

watch

Does he have the new Wimpy Kid book? I think there is also a new Alex Rider book and new Heroes of Olympus book. All of these just came out this fall.

My sons (13 and 11) are asking for or just got for their birthdays:

- gift cards - iTunes, amazon, target, nike, fav yogurt place, movie theater
- good headphones
- "Elites" - Nike basketball socks
- flashlight/head lamp
- sweatshirts (why these boys can't/won't wear their jackets???)
- new basketball/soccer/baseball gear
- cool water bottles

This age is tough for buy for! They do love gift cards -- we were at a birthday party where every single kids brought a gift card as a present.

And I forgot to add -- Shutterfly photo books! The boys don't ask specifically for them, but LOVE getting them and looking at them over and over. You can get such good discounts on them that it's easy to do one for each sports season, school year, trip, etc.

Seeing Back to the Future Legos listed reminded me...what about those movies? Target will have the Back to the Future Trilogy for only $13 for black friday.

My DS got these movies when he was that age. He loved them, and I even remember they knocked Indiana Jones movies down to third place in his favorites. The Back to Future movies are second only to the Star Wars movies.

Your DS may actually enjoy any of those movie sets.

We just won the Tek Recon Houseparty and got three of the guns. Can I tell you those guns are a HIT! My kids had stopped playing with Nerf but they love these. If you haven't see them they are like a Nerf Gun only they shoot small (and I do mean small) rubber o ring type disks and have a spot to attach an ipod/phone which they download a GPS app to so they can play with friends. My kids love the GPS function. You do have to buy more than one though so they have someone else to play with and track.
