An 11 year old boy will be more inclined towards the regular boy stuff like video games, cartoons, comic books, action heroes etc. this is what surrounds our 11 year old boys these days. if you have to give something, I would suggest, make it something that will win the boy’s interest and will make him do something more creative and innovative. Like a house construction set that he can use outdoor and pay his mind in to it. Other sports gear like roller skates or a trampoline is also a great idea.

11 year old girls are now being introduced to the world of fashion and glamour. It would be the best gift (according to the little girls) to receive a nail polish set or a pair of pink tights or high heel shoes. But I would suggest giving them some good books, sewing sets or even something they can experiment with like a sketching or painting guide book. Even a detailed dress designing kit is good idea. They can think and design outfits for themselves and their friends and dolls, and will totally love it.

 Boys: Video games, not Action man (sissy!)

Girls: Pixel Chix and Tamagotchis.
