B-day gift for 13 y.o. boy?
My cousin is turning 13 on Friday and my parents are hosting a little family gathering at their house (my cousin doesn't want an official party.) I have NO idea what 13 year old boys like these days. My mom ordered him two sets of Legos but I'm feeling like he is getting too old for them? I want to get him something "cool". He has one of the gaming systems but I don't know which one. We could always do money I suppose... Hmm. He's not really into fashion.
Ugh. I have no idea.
(Related....how is my little cousin 13 already??? I remember when he was born!!!)
eta: Update: My mom just e-mailed that Gus requested aforementioned Legos so that answers that. :-)
I think we decided to get him a cool wallet with some cash in it.

What about a Best Buy or Target gift card so he can pick out his own game? What else does he like?
Creative Kidstuff has a feature on their website where you can find toys by age group.
Tired after a long morning of hiking and swimming.
You are right on the legos. They (at least Paul did) like them, but don't get used enough to make it worth spending the money.
Here would be my suggestions:favorite sports team or player? You could do a article of clothing for that or a poster.
13 year olds are most likely done with Legos. Unless he's a youngish acting 13 year old - if that makes any sense at all. Some 13 year olds try to act older, and those 13 year olds aren't really into Legos.
iTunes gift card, favorite sports team shirt/sweatshirt, tickets to an event that he might enjoy (MN Swarm Lacrosse, U of M basketball game, etc), a gift card for a movie theater (AMC?) with a large box of candy...

He IS a "young-ish" 13...but at the same time he likes to "be cool." He was held back a year so his friends are all a year younger than him so they still might be okay with playing Legos. Who knows!?
I wouldn't feel confident buying him clothes because every time I see him he's about 3" taller and a shoe size bigger. I have a feeling he will be pretty tall once he's all done growing.
Maybe we should just get cash and call it good. I always liked getting cash. :-)
