   It's my nephews 6th birthday this weekend, and as I have no idea of what a 6 year old boy likes, I thought that I would ask you on here!    |

   Our nephew turned 6 in Oct.  He is so hard to buy for as he has an older brother so they have everything!!!  We ended up getting him a Homer Simpson version of the game Operation which he seemed to like.  We have just got both boys a pair of boardies and a tshirt for Xmas.

   Does he like running around or sitting down? If the latter, maybe lego? Most lego says the suggested age on it. If the former, something with wheels on it, the bigger the better!!! (I'm thinking like a truck)
 Ask his mum    |

   Lisha, there is place out at Hornby on Carmens rd its on the right heading towards Hornby, it used to be a service station and they sell what look like parallel import stuff, socks etc but they also sometimes have lego type blocks and also mega type blocks and really cheap - just a suggestion if you want to go down the lego path.  you can get a huge bucket for about $20.

   Are they going away at Christmas at all,  my nephews are 3 and 7 and I went to the 2 dollar shop and got them heaps of art stuff and a clear pocket, and have done a rainy day package for them to take away with them camping, I also have lots of lettering from card making and craft stuff I do so put their names on the front as well.
