what to get my 7DS

[My5Mouseketeers]

Help! I have 5 kids (14DD, 12DS, 12DS, 9DS and 7DS).

My 7 year only asked for Drawn to Life 2 for DS and Mario winter games for Wii for Christmas. None of the kids ask for a lot of stuff, but the older kids asked for playing cards, lightsabers, music, wallet, etc.

I have no idea what else to get my 7 year old. We have every lego kit under $100 and all the classic board games.

can you tell me some of the new toys/board games that are out that are worth buying? I just need 2 or 3 things to put under the tree for him.

Big board game lovers here...My almost 7 year old DS especially. If you want to stick to a more classic game...DS really wants Monopoly City, which is new--you get to build more and bigger buildings. If you want to go more of the "gamer" route, two good games that the whole family can play are Settlers of Cataan and Carcassone--both of which have several expansion sets for more gaming fun.

The new super mario bros game for Wii. It is a great game. Up to 4 players work as a team to complete a level.

movie tickets
lazer tag gift cert.
nerf gun
drawing supplies

DS7 also loves video games. He has also asked for:

Nerf dart tag - I got him the dart target board instead. I really don't want the kids running in the house shooting each other all winter! He can get the tag version in June for his bday.

Clue Spy version - this was on sale at Amazon for $10 as of Friday.

He also likes or is getting an erector set, loves Snap Circuits, marble runs, books, chess & strategy book and Bionicles.

What is he into? My ds (age 7) is way into Star Wars. So anything related to that and we are golden.

I'm waiting on this on Amazon. Not sure how much it'll be but if it's $10 or less, I will probably get it.

My son has also asked for a So You Can Draw Star Wars. His grammy is getting him that.

He would probably like transformers or bakugan. My 8 yr old son loves them. He is also big into video games and legos. He recently got scribblenauts for his DS and likes that a lot too.

My 7 year old is getting a Nerf Game bundle for the Wii, the Spy Gear ATV, several Wii (including Rock Band/Lego Rock Band) and DS games and a dart board. Well, there's lots of other stuff he's getting, but these are the typical 7 year old boy stuff. He isn't really "into" any of the pop culture stuff of right now: Star Wars, Transformers, Bakugon, etc. He's really tried to get into it, he just can't seem to get interested in it. He would rather still push cars and trucks around on the carpet and make up situations for the cars and people to be in.

Snap Circuits. Look for them on Amazon. They are getting big raves on the Budget Board and look really, really cool. I got the Jr. set for my 6.5ds, an 8 year old friend and my 10 year old nephew.

My 7 year old (Will turn 8 on Christmas day!) is getting snap circuits, bakugan, books, art supplies, and legos.

He is also getting an Ipod nano from Grandma and Grandpa, and they got him the DSI for his birthday. My DH and I wouldn't get him those items because he already has a nintendo DS and a mp3 player that both work fine, but Grandparents spoil him!

What about a pet lizard? My 7 year old has a leopard gecko that he loves. Its really easy to take care of!

I also always get my youngest some new clothes. He normally only gets his brothers outgrown clothes so he likes getting something new.
