I want to give my seven-year old nephew something fun and different. I know he will be receiving a lot of legos and other "boy" toys. I thought of a gift basket with some activity kits and candy.
--------------------
I'm happy to learn you're planning on giving something unique to your nephew for his birthday. I suggest you include the following in the gift bag you're making for him: activity and game books published by Klutz. I've given away many as gifts and bought others for use in my work as an educator. Here are my recommendations: The Book of Classic Board Games http://www.klutz.com/catalog/product/410
The Klutz Book of Paper Airplanes http://www.klutz.com/catalog/product/114
The Klutz Book of Paper Airplanes - extra paper http://www.klutz.com/catalog/product/124
A Super-Sneaky, Double-Crossing, Up, Down, Round & Round Maze Book http://www.klutz.com/catalog/product/211
The following are recommended for ages 8 and up, but they still get my vote: The Klutz Yo-Yo Book http://www.klutz.com/catalog/product/110
Explorabook http://www.klutz.com/catalog/product/310
Earthsearch http://www.klutz.com/catalog/product/310
I also suggest you consider buying him some books, including almost any title from the "I Spy" series from Jean Marzollo and Walter Wick, and the "Where's Waldo?" books by Martin Hanford. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b/103-

I also recommend the following pop-up books (yes, pop-up books). I bet you even at his age he will appreciate the uniqueness of these two books by David A. Carter: http://www.amazon.com/One-Red-Dot-Childr
