it depends on how much money you are going to spend. if it's about £15 then how about street gliders. they are wee wheels that strap onto your trainers at the heel, then they work a bit like roller skates. the wheels flash and look brilliant in the dark. where i stay they are all the rage and most kids have them on their wish list. i have just bought them for my daughter from toysrus, but they sell them in Woolworths as well.
his favourite teams football top
yu-gi-o. haven't a clue what this is but both my nephews aged 10 and 11 go on about it all the time.
games for his game-boy, PlayStation etc.
DVD
hope you find something suitable. have fun looking.

It depends on if the 11 yr old is a boy or a girl. My brother is 12 and he likes shoes,clothes and video games. But as a girl i think an 11 yr old girl would like perfume, clothes, accessories, and stuff like that.
Good luck

depends on the child...y dnt u ask ur friend what sports they play, whats their hobby. then buy them something like that. i am a girl and when i was 11 i wanted makeup...gift certificates to aeropastale, abercrombie, and hollister. never buy a 11 yr old girl anything that is NOT name brand. at there age...u need name brand stuff, i know it sounds very spoiled and unnessisary but at 11-15 girls show off to eachother. if it is a boy usually they like video games, gift certificates to the mall, basketballs, etc but i really cant tell you what to buy them since i do not know there personality, gender, or anything about them...but i consider talking to ur friend about this

Next time you're over at your friend's house look at the kid's room and you will immediately have an idea of what to get him/her. Are there drawings all over the wall? (art stuff) Video games (latest age appropriate game) Hobby stuff (airplane kits, car kits) You will get an idea real fast. This is the important part, when you go to the store to get the gift, ask the store clerk what has been selling the most, or what parents have been asking for, and get that.

if she needs it then i would say yes, but you should monitor it to make sure shes actually using it for homework and educational purposes. you dont want her completely stuck to the computer all day, so maybe if and when you get her one, block the sites that would tempt her to not do her work. in my opinion i would not give my 11 year old a lap top because i know that a laptop is not needed at LEAST until they hit highschool. which 11 is not (in my state its 12) but thats my opinion. i didnt get my laptop til a few weeks ago and ive been going to college for 3 years... i survived without a laptop so its really not like she NEEDS it anyway.... its possible to do without one.

I have an 11 year old and he likes anything to do with football.Find out what team he supports. My son also likes shoot out cards too-they are with football teams on. If you aren't sure what he likes give him a voucher or money-my boys love to receive money.

Boy or girl? Boy would like pc/ps2/other games console games (racing ones probably), girl would probably like makeup/fragrance? Depends on the child! Failing any better ideas you could try vouchers - clothes for girl, hmv or something for boy

most 11year olds are getting into their music now it might be a good idea to buy them a voucher from hmv then they can choose for themselves also they could choose a dvd.
