Summertime Gifts for Boys.

With such overwhelming choice of gifts for boys, there is something for every boy whatever their age or the occasion.  Many parents now purchase electronic gifts which can have the negative impact of rooting the kids inside for hours on end; unfortunately there are more children staying in to play computer games, play on iPhones and iPads. Obviously this has to have a negative impact on not only communication skills but social skills also.

Not many children in general are now playing out with their friends, its more a case of lets talk online whilst playing a computer game. So why not buy gifts for boys that will help to get them out of the house or to do an activity that is different.

What Gifts to Buy for Boys

Whether you’re a parent or relative, why not buy a gift that is a little different or unique and may help get your boy outside into the fresh air either with you or his friends. Below are a few gift ideas for boys aged under 12: –

• Happy Hopperz – a large bouncy and soft hopper that boys can have lots of fun on with friends and family in the garden or at the park
• Plop Trumps – the name says it all and boys would love to add this to their collection of toys and things to do. The aim of the game/activity is to trump the other players with the cards and the facts that are on the cards. Telegraph rated this as one of the top games for kids in 2011
