Need a cool gift suggestion for a 5 y.o. kid

M_Six · 12-03-2022, 12:26 PM

My nephew's kid. Been buying him cool stuff every year for Xmas, but this year is tricky because he now has a 15 month old little brother, so anything with small parts is out. Cost is not an issue. I just need that cool factor.

Dino GT · 12-03-2022, 01:13 PM

Battery powered toy car.

M_Six · 12-03-2022, 02:20 PM

Those are cool, but I don't think they'd fly with his parents. His dad has mentioned to me several times about how fast some morons go blasting though the neighborhood streets where he lives. He has a neat little bike, but they always take him to a park to ride it. It's sad that some people are too stupid or inconsiderate to realize why racing around neighborhood streets is unacceptable.

DocL · 12-03-2022, 02:36 PM

Just get him an iPhone. All the kids have now anyway lol. Just kidding.

I'd go with a remote controlled car too as previously mentioned. My son loves his and has about six of them.

If you want to be *that* uncle, buy him a drum set.....

Get him a bunch of eggs to throw at the speeding cars? 🤣😉

Or he may have a new brother soon

Was about to give advice, but then remembered that I'm deeply uncool. Good luck!

Puppy?

dscabra · 12-03-2022, 04:26 PM

My five-year-old grandson loved this:

This was another big hit:

I've made it a tradition to give my grandsons a new Hot Wheels car every time they come visit. I keep a stash on hand and let them choose a new car. At three years old, my oldest grandson was already able to rattle off several specific car names.

Swedish exchange student nanny for a year?

WayneM3 · 12-03-2022, 04:40 PM

Magnatiles! My family loved them (until my kids got phones) and just bought them for our 4 year old Nephew. We had a very large amount of them and were able to build lots of cool things. We had the regular, black, glow-in-the-dark and more. It is the only toy that everyone even enjoyed cleaning up because of how they snap together.

This was a cool project

CamasM3e93 · 12-03-2022, 04:41 PM

A low mileage 2013 e92 zcp. In 11 years that kid will be the boss….

Tyga11 · 12-03-2022, 06:33 PM

Get him a Beta fish. You can buy a small tank for $60 or so. I had one that lived for over a year

F87M2. · 12-03-2022, 06:45 PM

Got those for him last year. He loves them. So does his Dad.

Maybe I should buy more so they can build bigger stuff.

His father was heavily into Legos as a kid, so there is no shortage of them in the house.

I grew up about 3 miles from there. Really odd outfit...wouldn't give them any money, even though the area of land is now basically a nature reserve.

Monopoly board game and a traditional chess set.
