small present for 8yo boy?

[janiejones]

I am headed to a friend's son's birthday BBQ tomorrow afternoon.  I should bring him something.  He's not much of a reader. He's a boy's boy- likes action figures, frogs, bugs, slimey things, and making "inventions" and stuff.

I can get to a specialty toy shop no problem, but I think our TRU is under renos?  They just moved and I'm not sure if it's open yet.  And we have Target, but the specialty shop is much closer to my house.

I'm LOLIng to myself because I had a fleeting thought that I should buy him bath stuff from Lush.... he gets grimey because he's always mucking about!

They have those robot bath bombs for kids. And I bet he'd love a dorothy bubble bar....

Yes, Legos. I have a 9 year old son.

do they still make bionicle, or whatever? He used to play with those when he lived next door.
But he has a sister who is 14 months, lego maybe dangerous?
