What are you getting your 8 year old son for Christmas?

Holy smokes......my 3 kids don't get that many presents combined

Lol, I start in January and about every toy was 75% off, so much less $$ than it looks. The wii games are the biggest chunk of change, but he shares them with his sister (and my dh).

I am so excited to have some wonderful ideas for presents now. I am defininitely looking into the metal detector. That sounds like fun for me too! I was thinking maybe we could plant some *treasures* too make it more exciting.

I have always been afraid to buy him a scooter (motorized) for safety reasons but I think it would be perfect to get him off the couch. He doesn't do well riding a bike but he's good on his regular push scooter so that will be his big birthday present.

And the snap circuits look really cool. I ordered the smallest set (the junior one) to see if he likes it before I spend any more money on it.

I think he will be one happy boy this year. Can't wait to see his face when he sees what Santa brought him

My DSS, who is 8, asked for a bike and the new Super Mario Bros for Wii. We had already planned on the bike, since he is riding his older brothers bike currently. And we found a University of Michigan (his favorite team) bike at Walmart, so we got that already.

He is also getting a Hollister t-shirt, PJ pants, a model car set, and a Spiderman comic book subscription. My mom will be buying him the Super Mario Bros game.
