I have an 11 year old son.

I am getting him a Nintendo Wii for Christmas, with an extra controller, and an extra game. -Kmart has em for $199.99 (which is what I paid for his PSP last year)

He's a kiddo who has been playing games since he was 4. (thanks to his DAD on that one.. LOL)

Last year I got him the PSP with a game.

My niece just turned 11 this year and she has been out of the toy stage for awhile. So for past b-days & Christmases, she has asked for & gotten: jewelry making kits, art kits, those stuffed animals that kids collect (I forget the name, but they has cards that go with to go online with & you can get them clothes, ect), anything High School Musical (clothes, stationary, shoelaces, etc). She also likes the Jones Brothers, horses, drawing, Harry Potter. Last year for her b-day, I sent her a kit that came with a canvas messenger bag & stuff to decorate it. She ended using the bag for her Halloween costume!

Good ideas ladies! Thanks. =)

We found a screenprinting t shirt kit at Wal Mart last night that we are planning on getting my 12 y/o step daughter.
