My boyfriends son is turning 11 soon and I'd like to know if there are any parents on here that have bought your 11 year old boy a toy he loved. by the way he is very smart and likes to learn, he likes playdough but I already gifted him one. Not sure what to get him
I don't have kids yet, but I gave my nephew a Lego set and he was so happy building things with it. I also recommend Jenga, UNO Cards, Crossword Puzzles, Monopoly, or a robot they can play with. Smart kids are the easiest kids to gift. 😊

When I turned 11, my parents got me a globe. (Hard to believe that in two months, that will be sixty years ago;I have an author buddy who's 71 today, May 10.) Even a precocious 11-year-old didn't really get its likely meaning, but as a senior citizen, I believe it meant that as someone with a 160+ IQ, my horizons should stretch far beyond a mid-sized, one-industry Canadian border city to the entire world. (As a lad, I often dreamt of world-wide travel.)
How bright is your boy? Perhaps a globe, encyclopedia or another educational (but fun;he's still a tween) will interest him and get him interested in his world.
A 22 rifle or one of those bad ass mini dirt bikes they sell. You can go on YouTube and get them bad boys up to 45 mph with no extra parts by bypassing the governor and he will have a blast riding motorcycles and shooting guns so he can grow up to be a man!
It would just depend on what he is into. I have an 11 year old son and he's into Lego, Roblox and Fortnite so my gifts can usually revolve around those.
Artificial Intelligence
Diving into the world of gift-giving, aren't we? For a smart cookie who's into learning and has a creative edge (playdough fan alert!), why not consider something that'll tickle his intellect while letting his imagination soar? If he's into building and exploring, a LEGO Technic set could be a hit. These sets offer a bit more complexity and can be super satisfying to piece together. If he's leaning more towards the digital side of learning, how about a beginner's coding kit? Something like the Osmo Genius Kit is interactive and educational, blending the physical and digital worlds in a way that's sure to fascinate. For a real-world adventurer, a cool science kit or a beginner's microscope could open up new worlds, from the wonders of chemistry to the marvels of the microscopic. Remember, it's all about feeding that curiosity and giving him new mountains to climb (even if they're made of LEGO bricks!).

If he loves to learn, find out what books he likes.
Large lego sets, video games/consoles/pc, books on wildlife or astronomy, model kits, MTG cards, robot building kits.
A hot babysitter or a hot woman in general, so she can turn that boy into a man, and then give him his luckiest boy ever medal.
