He is a child that has everything and needs nothing, but I still want to get him something special. He is also very mature for his age. Any suggestions?

He is spoiled, but he is not a brat, he is not selfish either. He is just an only child with a lot of love, he asked if he could give his old toys to kids who didn't have any.

Hehe, that's the problem with someone who has too much, come special occations the people around them are all out of ideas! You could give him a special day, you know, let him play hooky from school and see a movie you might not ordinarily let him. With the weather getting warmer you could take him on a nature walk, you each get cameras to document the occation. Snap pictures of eachother doing leaf rubbings and holding bugs. The great thing is this can be done with your child's other parent, a grand parent, or one of the kid's friends. Since you think he has so much stuff I would definetly go with something completely intangable or some kind of craft made by the two of you. Something priceless.

Hi, how about a personalized book? Kids love to hear their name in the storyline. Go to this website http://www.tlc-expressions.com They have lots of titles like Sesame Street, Three Little Pigs, Spider-Man, Batman, Sports titles and so many more. Check it out - they're very reasonably priced, and make a wonderful & unique gift... Good Luck!

Sometimes more is less, especially at that age. Why don't you look into a simple remote control car, one of those talking books where you press the keys in response to questions, a coloring book or water paints and sheets of paper. And the best gift of all, take time off and take him to a zoo or museum and make it a special day.

I think it's hard for any of us to say what would be a good birthday gift for your son because we don't personally know him, so tune into what he wants. If he's watching TV and continues to mention a certain toy then you're pretty much set. Good luck! I hope this helped.

Get him a 'bound journal' with blank pages, and a box of 'colored pencils' so he can 'draw pictures' in it of stuff he wants to 'draw' and keep. This little 'bound book' given to him now will open up a whole WORLD of 'good things' for him ... he can eventually 'write' in words, and may be a 'great author' ... or he can 'draw and paint' fine art ... but mostly this is his 'private place for private thoughts' ... which is a 'thing' most parents don't believe their 'little ones' have ... it's a 'mature gift' for your 'wonderful young man' ... and he may think it's 'weird' at first, but will LOVE IT for the rest of his life. I have one ... I'm a writer, now. My husband has one ... he's a fine artist now. Neither of us 'do those things' for money any more, but this is 'who we each are' at the heart of ourselves ... and I think that your son will also 'be one of us' someday, with a little 'encouragement' from you now, for his 'big hearted giving' to the kids who 'have no toys' ... and tell him 'Happy Birthday' from Neal and Kris, with all of our love, too ...

Buy him the book "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein and write a little note to him in the book with the date.

My son is 4 and he loves leggo. You can get some great packs that he can build (with help); Robots, helicoptors, spaceships etc .They come with little people and are great for their fine motor skills. My son also received a transformer for his 4th birthday and in his words "I am obsessed with them" these are also great for their fine motor skills.

Get him a bike with training wheels and a helmet. Find out what his favorite color is and get one that color. Four is a good age for him to start learning to ride a bike and it is good exersize.

How about getting him something educational. Like a Leap Pad or something like that.
