We have a bday party to go to next month. I asked my friend what her son wants and she said anything that is hot right now. I know he was into bakugan last year, zhu zhu pets, star wars, and now silly bands.

We are totally on the other end of the spectrum when it comes to fads and trends. I avoid them in favor for more timeless toys and subjects....so, that leave me clueless for a great gift.

My 7 year old ds loves his stomp rocket, nerf guns (some parents don't like the gun idea though), anything lego.

Anything Lego. Ds1 is 7 and especially likes the Atlantis, Power Miners and Space Police sets.

My son is 6.5 yrs old, current hits are:

Razor
LEGO
Bionicles
Bakugan
Snap Circuits
Star Wars
Transformers

He's not really into video games, BUT we know a lot of 7 yr old boys that are nuts about video games.

There are brand new Lego games out. And I like the Lego book/bricks combo that BJs has.

legos

and the lego game creationary (like pictionary but with legos)

Anything science related is super popular with a lot of the 7 year olds (both genders) that I know.

Legos seem more popular with boys than girls but the girls I know like them a lot too.

T's birthday party was lego and all the kids were in heaven- lego favors, lego cake, lego games.

awesome!

thanks for the heads up on the TRU upcoming sale.

I think I'm leaning towards the lego game creationary. For this birthday we are going away over night with this family and a few others. I was hoping to find something that could be played with by many.

We have a 6 YO birthday party coming up for a boy...would the list be pretty much the same as what's been listed?
