My son is a bit peculiar when it comes to his toys. I remember buying him his first toy car when he was just about 18 months old. He would play for hours just lining them up.
Now that he is 7 (going on 40) and no longer into cars (insert sad face here), his gift ideas have become a bit pricey (in my opinion). I usually ask him what he wants for Christmas all throughout the year. That way, when I see the items (from his never ending list) I can get it and save it. Toys are expensive but I find that buying them “off season” lets you to save a little.

1. Minions Bubble Bath: That’s probably the least expensive thing from his list. Bubble bath. Makes me all warm and fuzzy to know that he is still 7 years old after all.
2. LEGO Minecraft The Dungeon: To this day I still don’t understand anything about Minecraft. But the Little Man LOVES everything Minecraft related.
3. Xbox One – Halo 5: Guardians Limited Edition: My son is totally obsessed with Halo and Master Chief. His dad is a huge gamer so I’m not surprised that the Little Man is too. They’ve both been anticipating the release of Halo 5. If you want a good laugh check out this video from a few years ago of the Little Man receiving the Halo 4 game.
4. Halo 5: Guardians Spartan Locke Limited Edition Controller for the Xbox One: Can’t have the Halo 5 game without the limited edition control! Must be a gamer thing because I seriously don’t get it!
5. Xbox One – LEGO Jurassic World: My son and I got to see the Jurassic World movie in the summer. Ever since that day, he’s become and HUGE Jurassic fan.
6. LEGO Jurassic World – Pteranodon Capture: I know he would be happy with any of the Lego Jurassic World toys (there’s quite a few), but this one is the least expensive one.
7. Chillin’ Monster 2-Piece Pajama Set: Pajamas are still cool for my 7 years old! Come to think of it, pajamas are ALWAYS cool!
Hope you guys like these gift ideas. I’ll probably end up getting the Little Man a couple of these gifts (not all). Anyone else waiting till the very last minute to get Christmas gifts? I love to hear from you guys!

hahaha my boys were like that but now that they’ve gotten a bit older, while they still enjoy their video games, they’ve lately been all wanting cash. BTW that Lego Jurassic Park is awesome. I actually bought it for myself and have played it.

I miss those days where I could get him just a little toy and he would be so excited and play with it all day! Not really looking forward to the years when he will ask for money hahaha

Great suggestions. Boys are so hard to shop for after about 12. It gets really expensive…and difficult

I love what you have done with your blog. Bella would totally want the Lego Mincraft set and my husband wants Halo 5 so does my step sons. I swear it’s on every mans list. They can play the game for hours together. Destiny came out and man I can’t tell you how often I would hear the tv with the video game sounds and the bantering back n forth between my husband and the boys Bella was even asking when she was old enough to play it I clearly am out numbered when it comes to the xbox. Which reminds me I need to add the lego mind craft and halo 5 to my amazon wish list.

toys for boys almost always come with a hefty price tag, it will really save us a lot if we will buy them off-season. these are great gift ideas for boys, those minecraft and lego toys will surely be a hit with my little builder, too.
