I figure I'd better start early on this one 'cause I'm clueless. What do you buy 12 year old boy for Christmas??? He's rather plump so I can't/won't buy him video games. I wanted to get him a bag of carrots and a soccer ball but mom said that was mean. Any ideas from people with kids?
How about a skateboard or small mp3 player.
A pogo stick.
do a group buy on a Weii, video game and excersize gear all in one
Martial Arts classes.
I always wanted guns.
M4's and Garand's.
My oldest is eleven, and I understand the dilema.
Lego's are still cool as they can think and build.
YZF-125
I got my first .22 when I was 12 I still have it
Punching bag.
Big guys can see results and power gains with practice. Their size is an asset and it soups up their egos about their size. and helps keep them of the couch.
if you have the time to spend with him, there is a family membership for the YMCA. Swimming is fun and a good way to cut the weight, and get is shape for that mini bike. Plus he will probubly make some friends. It's a start for keeping him out of trouble also. (NO, I dont work for the YMCA)
A subscription to Playboy - you'll be his hero for life :err:....... J.K.
RC cars are always good, it's fun, gets them outside, and if you get the kind they build it'll teach him a mechanical skill building it.
bmx bike ,skate boards, the weii is a workout but pricy .I was like dave always wanted guns. dreamed of an M1 know I have three. boy's wants and dreams never change. got the redhead still waiting for the Porsche

Are you serious? Garand's? Tell me a bit more. I'm seriously looking.
A case of pringles....
I had a plump friend back in the day. Every Christmas, we'd do the family thing early, and by mid-morning I'd be at his house or he'd be at mine checking out the loot. One Christmas(we were probably around 12), I made my way to his house at our usual mid-morning time and found his parents laughing hysterically, so much so I couldn't understand what they were saying. I went looking for my friend and found him passed out, pringles crumbs all over him and a case of empty pringles cans. I couldn't believe it at the time-how could he eat all that crap? why would his parents buy him junk food when he was already overweight? It was only later that I realized that was their way of accepting him for who he is. He is still plump and then some, but he is a great guy with a lot of friends and a loving family. BTW, he never forgot that Christmas and neither have I.

had the pleasure of shooting one years ago... they have got to be one of the sweetest shooting guns on the planet!
I pmed you dave . the history of the rife still fascinates me and they are fun to shoot.
How about getting a couple of tickets to a professional basketball game or hockey game, and take him? Or get him a model kit of some sort, something he has to put together, or a remote control vehicle.
So I've been thinking about this, lots of good ideas. Anyone know if Razor scooters are still cool?
I would think that a razor would be a cool idea!
