My daughter is starting to go to more and more birthday parties for school friends. Problem is, I am clueless when it comes to good gifts for boys, particularly for kids I don’t know. I’d love some ideas on good go-to gifts for 6 year old boys. I have a much easier time buying for little girls. Thanks!!

Legos are an easy one. I like all the different building kits...circuits, science, crystal mining. My 6 yo boy would be just as happy with art supplies too! He is currently making art with toilet paper rolls, tape, and pipe cleaners...
Snap circuits is one of my personal favorites though...

Seconding Lego. You also probably can’t go wrong with Transformers, BeyBlades, or some Star Wars stuff.

As a boy mom, I hate hate hate little legos (though my son likes them).
I buy board or card games a lot. Just include gift receipt in case they already have it -
We've been to a few dinosaur parties lately and we gifted these items:

The other party theme was life of pets so we gifted these items:

Bey Blades are popular with this age.
I also like gifting science kits or magic trick kits (I get them with a coupon at Hobby Lobby or Michaels).My daughter is six. She loves legos but has most of the "girly" ones so I'm not a fan of getting them as gifts (especially if it's the smaller amount ones bc it's all the same).
-
I agree with Lego, or leapfrog items if they are in sale. Also magnatiles although they are a big pricey.
-
i have 6 and 5 year old boys... they are still very much into lego sets, hot wheels, pokemon cards, beyblades (we don't have any, but I've heard kids at school do), card games (anything made by Gamewright is a huge hit), magnatiles are still a favourite (but obviously not a regular birthday present), hmm.... they also like blank notebooks and pens, and little whiteboards.
-
Legos for sure. My almost 6yo DS loves craft kits. Notebooks and pens/markers are always good.
-
Adding to the choir for Legos. My DS is 8 and still plays with them and loves to get them as gifts. When he was in kinder, we always gave Lego gifts for boy and girl parties.

Board games, Transformers, Superhero anything, art supplies, no slime please!!!

LEGOS with a gift receipt! Or anything you'd buy but with a gift receipt
DS just turned 7 and had his party recently. His favorite gifts were Mastermind, a drone (!!!), and a LEGO book with Legos in them. There were a ton of gifts and we asked him to only pick 7 (we are returning / donating the rest, a boy can only have so much toys), he'd rather have that LEGO book than other bigger boxes of LEGOs (granted we already have a TON of LEGOs and he maybe getting bored of them). And then a big magic tricks kit.
Strangely another favorite gift he was very attached to was a stuffed animal that was pretty small, almost the size of a kleenex tissue box. It was completely unexpected lol
One present he got was actually two AMC prepaid movie tickets (to any movie of your choice) with a small box of candy and a small box of popcorn attached. Strangely I find that super thoughtful.

@Alba4: How bizarre. We are going to a girl's birthday party from DS' school in a few weeks. I saw her mom at DS' birthday party and I asked her what does she want for a present. She actually told me her DD LOVES making slime, not just slime, glittery slime! So she told me to actually get her a big bottle of glue and glitter!!!! I was like, are you serious?! Am I getting punk'd? LOL
-
Board games...my son is super specific about Legos, so just include a gift receipt if you go that route.

Circuits

@irene: my kid loves slime, I hate it!!! Lol

I bought my 6 and 7 year old nephews (who both love Legos) this awesome book by Klutz. It's called Chain Reaction and shows kids new ways to use their legos to create "chain reactions." I thought it was neat because it allowed them to use something they already have (Legos) in a new way.
