Thanks for your help, his not really into any thing I asked him what he was going to ask Father Christmas for and he said driving lessons and a car

Why don't you ask him to write a letter to Santa with a list of all the things he might like for Christmas? Might give you some idea... Tell him to put some bigger things and some smaller things on there.

I'm getting a crayon wallet for my brother and maybe my cousin because he likes to draw... Also Walkie Talkies for my brother's birthday.

I don't know what the weather is like around that time where you are... but my mom's OH bought sleds, tubes, snow brick makers, and a book on how to build snow shelters for them to play in the snow here..

and lego's are always a hit with the kids... they have the most awesome sets of them... Also, maybe games? Like board games of sorts for him and his siblings?

my sons love the following:

lego
magnetix
cars (matchbox/hot wheels type)
animals
colouring and drawing
leap-pad learning systems - you can get loads of books etc, some story some activity and these have helped with learning for school.

they loved the football table i got middle son last year.

Thanks for the ideas everyone, they have really helped. So far I have ordered a hand held learning console thingy, some puzzles, and some lego; the problem I usually have with lego is it is quite structured at what you can build with it (ie the sets where you build this car or that boat etc) and his not too great at following instructions but I ordered a huge box of lego from Toys R Us with over 1000 pieces and it had £20 off but it just aimed at building anything you want .

Charlotte that is fab going to order it now, didnt realise play.com did things like that.
