Gifts for Boys

The Lego brand continues to take over the Christmas Toy list as it has done for the past few years.

This years Lego offering focuses on their popular Ninja range. The Japanese style Fire Temple comes complete with Lord Garmadon and his ghoulish skeleton army. Boo! Hiss!

Amazing Amazon sell the Lego Ninjajo Fire Temple for £61.99. You may even get free UK delivery.

Your kids’ll go snap happy with the Kidizoom Twist. It’s an easy-to-use, robust camera for kids so no need to worry about getting Petit Filous all over your real one!

The 2 megapixel camera has a twisting lens which lets them take self portraits but it also records and has a games function. Sounds like it’ll keep someone occupied over the festive season and beyond!

Buy the Kidizoom Twist Camera from Firebox.com for £47.99 with free delivery.

The staple Lightsaber makes a welcome return on the list this year. This new and improved weapon has super duper light and sound effects and still continues to delight Star Wars fans from all decades!

To activate the lightsaber and become a Jedi simply press a button to light up the handle. Nifty little motion sensors will then trigger the special sound effects when swung around – sorry – used in battle.

If this is on your little boys wish list I can guarantee the whole family will be playing it by lunch time on Christmas Day.

Kids can now have their very own tablet to help them improve their computer skills (and play lots of games too!) The LeapPad Explorer is the newest electronic gadget specifically aimed at 4-9 year old kids.

Parents all over the land will be breathing a sigh of relief knowing that their own tablet is safe from the clutches of grubby fingers. It looks cool and yet is practical, sturdy and best of all wipe-clean!

Hours of entertainment are guaranteed with this green and white gadget – and not just for Christmas – but through to 2012 as well. So while the LeapPad Explorer costs £112.99 I reckon it’s a winner.

An electronic pet that’s cute, soft and cuddly but with an element of surprise attached thanks to his random play function that’ll leave you guessing what he’ll get up to next.

He’s totally adorable and you can have him all to yourself for a snip at £44.99. Get Milky The Bunny from Amazon.com.

Let Elmo rock your world! The coolest muppet of all time is ready to rock your socks off. He comes complete with his own instruments (a tambourine, drum set and microphone) and looks pretty sharp in his rockin’ outfit.

A great Christmas gift for young and old folk as everyone will remember him. What a rock hero!

For kids from 8 to 98, the Vortex Nitron Blaster is the latest in the Nerf range. The battery operated disc blaster has an amazing array of functions for optimum firing power whilst in battle with the enemy.

You can reload faster than ever, shoot quicker than ever with a push of the acceleration trigger and an enviously precise aiming capacity when using the flashing electronic sniper scope.
