How about a book ?

What about the magnetic building sets - my son played with these for hours (but the entire sets can be expensive). Legos are great - particularly if you are willing to play along side the little boy. I know that you don't want to buy another video game - but I got my daughter the Animal Crossing game and it has been great. She has to "work", save money, sell items, clean up the town, deicde whether to add on to the house and go into debt, do favors for animals in town, etc. We play the game together and it brings us closer - we have alot of fun with it. A set of outdoor toys might be nice (a kite, sidewalk chalk, sand castle sets to use in the sandbox, badmitton rackets and birdies, horseshoes set, etc). Just a few suggestions.

I'd go with a telescope or sports equipment if you want something to unwrap. Maybe tickets for a game (basketball, baseball, whatever he likes) and money for ice cream or another treat at the game. You can take him or let him go with his dad or let him pick who to go with.
Kudos to you for recognizing that a video game is not a great gift!

DK Publishers make fabulous fiction and non-fiction books for kids.
Their Eyewitness Classics series is awesome, with wonderful retellings of Robin Hood, Jeckyl and Hyde, Dracula, and many more. Between each chapter are amazingly illustrated pages with non-fiction info about the era/themes/etc featured in the stories.

Ask his parents or siblings. Does he like any sports? How about a basketball? Or there is a new DVD/ board game Pirates of the Caribean. It's a good family game that is interactive with a TV that has a dvd player. Available ay Toy R us. $28.00.

My plan is a kid camera.the body is heavy duty. It comes with software to be able to teach the child to share on line.Parents can monitor.Children love to take pictures,and have a scrap book. The other idea is a piano that is a video teacher.By Fisher Price. The child can actually learn songs to preform.

sports stuff, maybe a basket ball or football. How about some legos or a good funny book. Sometimes kids forget there is an outside world when they play video games.

Buy the book, Bud, Not Buddy, by Christopher Paul Curtis. The cover doesn't make it look like it'd be good (but you know what your momma said about judging covers), but I don't know a soul who has read it and not LOVED it.
Or you could go the sports route and buy some street signs/posters of his favorite sports team.

Anything that will get him outside. A skateboard, basketball, football..ect... At ten a remote controlled car would be cool too, maybe a model rocket kit if he's into that kind of thing.

K'nex. Its like a mix between lego and tinker toys, so many things can be built. Gets there creativity flowing, and off the couch.

All you should want for christmas is your two front teeth. After I knock them out because you want Jersey Shore DVDs. That show sucks. Naw, just kidding about the knocking out your teeth part. Not the Jersey Shore sucks part.
