What is a good gift for a boy in Junior High?

a gift certificate for music/video game store. I know its not very sentimental to give gift cards, but when i was that age money was something i didnt have alot of , or many ways to obtain it.

Younger kids love the idea of being able to buy themselves things and pick it out alone. it gives them a sense of independence.

if a certain store gift card isnt good, they have those new prepaid visa cards that you can use anywhere

A video game maybe ....it depends on what he likes ..if he likes sports get him his favorite sports hat or something maybe a jersey ! ....But i would go with the video game ...! Every teenage boy has a game system ! Hope this helps ...good luck ~

Have a Very Merry Christmas !~

If he has an Ipod, how about an Itunes gift card? Or, a series of books. I just bought my 13 year old son the "Warriors" series and he loves it!

a game

Probably some finger nail polish, so he can show off to all the girls how sexy he is?
