Legos are always a win. Nerf guns are also a guaranteed win for boys of ALL ages! I lost count long ago of the number of nerf guns we've given our nephews, but they asked for them again this year. DS1 (4 yrs) has one already & is getting an upgrade this year. We bought one for a friend who is like an uncle to the boys and he was beyond ecstatic. My dad is also getting one & I'm pretty sure I'm getting an upgrade, too! Family fun for all! You just never know when you're going to walk out of the bathroom and get nailed.
