I'm already starting to think about gifts from Santa for New Year's and birthdays. Both holidays are in winter, in January. There isn't much time left, but it's a tough task. My oldest will turn 10 – he has everything, and I have no ideas. He loves to sing (he has a microphone), build with programmable LEGOs (he has those too), and space (he has a "starry sky" night light, astronaut toys are a thing of the past, he asked for a telescope, but the kid-friendly one only magnifies a little – maybe enough to see the moon up close, and a real one is too expensive, we don't have the funds). Can you suggest anything else? Just no gadgets. My youngest will be 4. He likes dinosaurs and police, and has tons of toy cars. He already has the wooden IKEA kitchen, and he's not a big fan of building blocks. Maybe something educational? For logic, thinking skills, that would be age-appropriate and interesting?

From developmental toys, a 3D puzzle of varying difficulty. For New Year's, I usually gift cool slippers or kigurumi pajamas.

Kristina He has a kigurumi, matching pajamas with his brother, and slippers too. The building blocks look cool in the photo, I'll try to find them. Thanks!

There are some cool experiments, with water and stuff.
My son got some for his birthday and he loved them.

I'm thinking about a projector. The guys have been going to each other's dachas or camps lately, and they don't have anything to watch movies with. But I'm still thinking. A universal gift would be a board game, they're expensive. I was thinking something like Arkham Horror. You can probably find something here. Beanbag chairs are also cool, but only if you have space for them.

lyubov Oh, and I also like Rummikub. But my partner isn't into board games.

For our son's 10th birthday, we got him a PSP and an ATV. For Christmas, he asked for another lizard.

For the younger one, something developmental, like a magnetic building set, would be great. It's trickier with the older one; maybe some kind of quest with classmates, and perhaps don't give a material gift directly.

lyubov Thanks for the idea! I didn't even know it had a name like that. I'll gift it to my younger ones.
