So, I've put it off long enough, And have started Christmas shopping!?

I know what to buy the youngest three, but have absolutely no idea what to buy the oldest, 11 1/2 who has always been given everything he's asked for. Any suggestions for something unusual? I was going to buy him a trikke, but his parents said NO! they are getting him a new bike

Update:

hIS MOM'S A NURSE IN A ER AND HAS TREATED DOZENS OF KIDS WHO GOT HURT FROM HEELIES, SO THEY ARE DEFINITELY OUT!

    think about something he could learn from , and maybe that could be passed down after he gets older. What about computer games? good luck, I've got one around the same age , they are hard to buy for.Are they Christians? what about a teen study bible?

    My brother (who I care for and is like a son to me) is 12 and I got him one of those V Rockers, its a chair that an MP3 player or the TV, Video Game Console, DVD Player, Etc. can plug into and it has speakers. I also got him an MP3 Player and a V-Cam, its a small handheld video camera by the "Video Now" brand, it takes video and pictures and has a slot for an SD Card to expand the memory. They are all the things he wanted so maybe the 11 1/2 year old you are buying for would want one of those thing.

    Preteen and Teens are really into electronics right now. So look at walmart.com or target for some electronics at a low price. Like iPods,video games,etc...that kind of stuff is really hot right now. Like you could get him a video game to go to a console that he has already or if you know he's getting a new one u could by a game to go to that.
