I'm part of a group sponsoring a family for Christmas. My item category is any kind of toy gift for a 12 year old boy. Other people were given clothing items and reading items as their category, so he's covered there. My dollar range I was given was $20, but I can go more. It's just a guideline.
Now, I know what I liked as a 12 year old, but I was and still am a big nerd into Transformers, GI Joe, Star Wars, and anime. What would be a good toy/game item that most average 12 year old boys would enjoy?
I think video games are out since I know nothing of their family situation. I will assume the worst and say they don't have any game systems etc. I was thinking something like a cool Nerf gun, but I was thinking maybe 12 year olds would be getting out of the Nerf thing. I know I would like it, but I'm trying to put myself in his shoes and want to get something he might like.
My cop out would be to get a gift card, but that's no fun.
Edit: Here are the pics of each item in question. Remember he's got clothing covered (even socks and underwear) by other people in my group. This is purely a fun, nice to have, item.
