| I have two nephews that have birthdays coming up AND Christmas. Connor is 11 and Colton just turned 13. They both live in town. I could really really use some insight as to presents for these two goofballs. I already bought them video games, but I was hoping for something else to go with it. HELP! Please!!! Their little sister was a piece of cake. Need something equally 'cool'. They've entered the 'cool' stage....I'm at a complete loss. I don't even know what brands of clothes are 'cool'. |

| save yourself the stress and go with a visa gift card! Kids are too picky these days! |

No boy can have too many Nerf guns.
Mine love Star Wars action figures.
One collects coins, the other knives, both collect baseball & basketball cards.
Anything Underarmour.
Hope that helps a little!
eta: mine are not picky, but I do think they would prefer cash to a gift card b/c they save money for specific things (special Star Wars figures, for instance.) But, I'm sure your nephews will love whatever you give them!!!

Location: Never in one place long | I'll tell you what I did for my nephew from the time he was born, I opened a savings accnt for him and instead of getting him gifts (which most kids have WAY too many nowadays and they never get used) I put $50 in for his Birthday and $50 in for Christmas and have told other family members about it as well so they put $ in it. He is almost 5 now and have over $700 saved. Not much but I can gaurentee you when he gets older and needs college money or something he will appreciate it when his toys are worthless. I usually get him something really small to go with it like a book or crayons. |

| I just scored some Under Armour hoodies, a couple of neat looking games (they can give 'em back if they don't like 'em, I'll play them!), and some mid quality headphones of Amazon with free shipping.

I may have to buy myself some kinetic sand. Just googled it and it looks amazing. Nephews smphews. Ha ha ha! |

| Komet, I'd love to scratch the games, but these are town kids. Anything outdoorsy would lay wasted. I don't like it either, but I'm not going to buy presents that won't get used. |
