    Present ideas for 5 yo godson

    Help! I totally forgot my own godson's birthday last week (well, I knew it was coming up and got the wrapping paper and card, but then I got sick and forgot the present). Usually his mum is a huge help in giving pressie ideas but it's too late to ask her now as it makes me look even slacker than I already am, iykwim!

    So, DGS is a typical, boisterous 5 yo. He likes trucks but has ooooooodles of them, so I was thinking of something a bit different. It has to be something I can post. What do 5yo's like?

    All ideas gratefully received. TIA

    Oooh, maybe some kind of craft/glider/hobby kit would be good....he's got a 9yo brother to help.

    And that's reminded me that the National Geographic shop has good stuff. Not cheap, but it might give me other ideas!

    My 5yo loves board games. In particular the kids monopoly and the lego ones.
