I have 2 girls so don't really know....about $20. .thanks
The boys on my street are into Pokemon cards. I also like the idea of board games - Sorry Sliders, Operation etc.
My 6 yo son just got an umbrella, Lego water bottle, harmonica, and backscratcher for his birthday/Christmas. He loves each one of them and still plays with them, even a week after Christmas! lol
You can't go wrong with books either. Any kind of encyclopedia of some sort - Encyclopedia of Gross Things/Animals/Weather/Inventions that failed/Superheroes - would be good.
All ideas below are great. I'll add movie tickets, art supplies (crayola has some neat stuff), sports equipment? (soccer ball, baseball/bat)
My 6 year old just got:
Legos - loves them
Hex bugs - we have 3, he has played with them for a year. They are really cool - especially if you look at the robotic science behind them.
Zoob - cool building toy
Cards - matching memory game sort - likes them
Playmobil - has been great. He just got the cafe and bakery along with a meerkat set and rhino.
I see no reason these would be inappropriate for a boy or girl.
Order wood figurine toys from Padilly from the Holztiger brand. I've been buying two items for each b-party I have been going to. Dinosaurs. Whales. Dolphins. King and Queen. Knight and horse. Wolves. Tigers and lions. Bears. Love 'em.
I have 3 boys and a girl. One of my boys is almost 6 and into Mario everything. He also likes Ninjagos (lego-based) and Beyblades. These are a bit more popular with the 8-10 age crowd, but will quickly be there!
We found the Hex bugs were short-lived fun.
Ninjago starter set is $20

Beyblades you can get at Target and run about $8. Get two, so he can battle with someone.
I'm not sure about cost, but Hex Bugs are really big right now. Or some kind of Lego set if he's into Legos.
Legos
Hex bugs
Nerf
Hot Wheels
Cant really go wrong with Hot wheels.
Or a deck of playing cards.
Or a cute board game like Hi-Ho Cheerio or Operation (my boys love that one).
Or a cute movie, scooby-doo, or Bugs Bunny or Tom and Jerry?
