present for a 3 year old?

Zaphan58 · 18 Dec 2006 at 00:33

I need to get a christmas pressie for my 3 year old nephew but not really sure what to get him. My sister said to just buy him a train but he seems to have loads of trains so think it would probably be boring.

Any ideas? I have no idea what they like now adays, I know I was always suckered into wanting the hot toy of the moment that was advertised on the tv when I was a kid.

Not looking to spend much as Im skint probably a max of about £20

Its a great excuse to take a trip round the big toy stores imo

Big truck, digger, tank, train or matchbox style cars would go down well I am sure. Our Nephew loved that sort of thing from 3-5.

Biggest baddest push around toy you can find!

Giant car or digger or something, hell they are still fun now and im 18.

3 years old?

Hell, as long as it makes enough noise to induce migrane headaches in his parents, it's the perfect toy in his eyes!!

Note the lack of smilies? My son is now 12, I can still remember vividly all the toys that were his favorites. And they ALL made exorbitant amounts of noise......

You can get some great oversized kids ones that go slow and do minimal damage.

nah, i think that at 3 they want something to satisfy their 'instictive drives' and make them feel special. it doesn't matter what it is, as long as it makes them feel important when it's given. so big/colourful/shiny etc is good.
