What would be a good Christmas gift for boys age 6 to 9 for a hundred dollars?

[exitseven]

I have nephews that need a good gift.

The problem is these kids already have one of everything. They are spoiled.

[LaFerrari]

Here are a few items that I can recommend though it will depend on what their interests are... Cubicfun 3D Puzzles are a great gift and they come in basic/advanced forms, if you want to go with something more advanced such as the Titanic which well set you back $45 but a parent could help them with it as a teamwork and educational gift.

$20.00 Tower Bridge

Lego is a great gift as well but they are pricey especially for licensed brands like Star Wars, Harry Potter, Disney, Batman and so on... But here are some sets I recommend, speed champion set line is really cool and there are a lot of cheap options under $60 if they are into cars, it would be a perfect choice!

$30.00 Speed Champions Chevrolet Corvette C8. R Race Car and 1968 Chevrolet Corvette

There are some really nice sets in creator 3in1, you can easily find some good cheap sets in this line, from animals, dinosaurs, dragons, vehicles such as space shuttles, planes, boats, ships and cars, modular buildings, castle and much more! its great for being on a budget.

$28.00 Creator 3in1 Safari Wildlife Tree House

There are other cities as well for LEGO Architecture line, some are pretty cool but they are a bit pricey from $40.00 to 130.00

$30.00 - $40.00 LEGO Architecture London Skyline Collection.

Hope that gives some variety to ideas for you!

Just a trip to McDonalds playground or arcade

You might be on to something. There is a interactive kids museum near where we live and maybe get them a membership. Thanks for that.

[Neosporin]

Thanks too

[Smashingdoozy]

$100 for a gift is a lot. You could get many things honestly. At that age (any age really) Lego is a good option. Really depends on what they are in to. Sports stuff, things related to their favorite video game, books, science kits etc... But honestly Lego is always a hit with anyone age 4-94

[Still-alive]

Hell yeah. I still remember that huge castle lego set i got one Christmas lol

[Apple1996]

Magna tiles are a pretty big hit with my kiddos

[Apple1996]

And anyone saying legos probably know nothing about kids. Don't get kids those. They make a mess and are a hassle for the parents. I literally don't allow Legos in my house

[Jamie05rhs]

@Apple1996 I would like to upvote your comment and downvote your amendment. I wish GAG would give me the ability to do that!

[Apple1996]

@Jamie05rhs lol trust me if you were a parent you'd hate Legos too. I'm pretty anti toy in general but Legos are the worst by far

[Jamie05rhs]

@Apple1996 No, I would not!! I would be extremely proud of my kids for using their creativity and learning how to build. If the pieces get scattered, they can always be gathered again! (The key is that you make THEM pick them up. In doing this, you're teaching them character and a valuable life skill.)

[Apple1996]

@Jamie05rhs it's not a mess in that way. It's a issue that the toys have to be cleaned put up and out of sight if younger siblings and or pets are in the house since they are dangerous. Also creates a huge issue at playtime if one child wants to play with a toy and the others can't. I tried doing the Legos a few times but there were to many issues. Would possibly be fine if all the kids were about 8+ and or very responsible

[Jamie05rhs]

Oh. Then the issue is they're just too young.

But honestly, there should be a separate room -- or an exclusive corner of one room -- just for LEGOs. That way a kid can work on their project one day and then set it aside and come back to it again the next day. Either that or have dedicated shelf space or a special table.

[Apple1996]

@Jamie05rhs that still wouldn't work out with younger kids around. Toys being left out is also extremely bad for kids with sensory issues since it's causes over stimulation. That is why I'm just not a fan of toys

[Jamie05rhs]

"overstimulation". Is that really a thing?

[Apple1996]

@Jamie05rhs yes its more noticeable with babies and toddlers since they cry/tantrum when it happens but it also happens to older kids too

[Jamie05rhs]

Oh. Interesting.

[WowwGirl]

@Jamie05rhs over stimulus is a thing even with adults so yes

[Jamie05rhs]

@WowwGirl Okay. Good to know.

[TrueConfection]

The 6 year old would probably like a cool pop-it. They come in fun shapes like dinosaurs and hamburgers.

The 9 year old would probably like some cool sneakers (boys are really into sneakers these days). RCV (you can probably find a beginner one within your budget).


Either boy; A new basketball or soccer ball is usually appreciated. Anything that lights up. Snow toys. Lego set (that will be entire budget). Video games or gift cards for buying dlc. Movie passes.

[DizzyDesii]

Hot wheelz, legos, marble sets, train sets, video games

[DizzyDesii]

I still own all of the above 🤣 Us girls can play too haha

[DizzyDesii]

Update: Oh just give em a $20 bill each and call it a day

[HighValue]

Get them a musical instrument like a recorder with a beginner's guide, or a small keyboard and direct them to YouTube instructional videos.

[FictionalCharacter]

$100 for each nephew, or $50 for each nephew?

-There’s LEGOs.
-Hot wheels
-Nerf Guns ranging from $20-60 (depending on gun/bazooka size)
-Video games since they’re $20-50

[exitseven]

The problem is they have plenty of all that stuff.

[pickedcrisps]

Sporting goods. Trust me. One day they'll look back on all the times they kicked a ball they played that outdoor game that looks like bowling and so on and so on 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[Nightroads]

Buy a hundred dollar sled and gift them the box. Then go sledding with tour friends.

[t-8900]

tbh with you I wish i had a tool set at around 8-9 to get me more interested in working with my hands. Being a handiman for vehicle and at home repairs would get them a lot of ladies down the road! XD

[jennifer_bloom]

Lego is around that price range or you could get a group of children’s binoculars or a toy car for driving around in.

[jennifer_bloom]

My parents got me Lego when I was six years old and I loved it.

[Rachel794]

A gift card for whatever places or games they might be into

[exitseven]

That was my idea but my wife wants to buy something. She just loves going to stores.

[Paris13]

Large Trucks or Cars. However, Dear, Hurry!!! May NOT get them Now or in the Future. Toys are Scarce and getting Scrooged OUT.:((xxoo

[AviatorTom]

Assuming he doesn't already have something, LEGO or KNEX sets... something he can build with that he can also share with others.

[Anonymous]

some sort of learning gift like chemistry or engineering projects. They are on the internet and you can pay for 6 months of these projects to be delivered and he will learn from them

[Anonymous]

Young kids are easy. They care more about the quantity of gifts than the quality. Hit up a used games store and get them a gameboy advance SP and as many games as you can with what you have left.

[ShaTTeredMasterpeace]

Well what are they interested in? Because that will let you know how far that $100 will go.

[Tiptoetamm]

Maybe train set hot wheels, yard games anything but tech kids need to play

[FinalFantasyBro]

Have you tried purchasing both boys action figures or make buy something that has to do with superheroes like those toys swords and masks etc.

[Anonymous]

meh, i'd say don't waste your money on spoiling them and creating entitled asshats.

[exitseven]

I agree my wife does not.

[Opinion Owner]

then your wife is kind of materialistic and shitty

[exitseven]

no she is not, she is just generous.

[humanearth]

Save the money, have them help build a go cart or a mini bike. I buit my 1st mini bike at 10

[888theGreat]

Football or baseball card sets on my Etsy shop 888virtualfleamarket. I also have a new interactive robot on there. Many cool things boys would like.

[007kingifrit]

some action figures or trading cards. i loved trading cards yugioh especially
