How to choose for your nephew
- Ask what he's into right now, since battle tops and fingerboards are huge in some friend groups and ignored in others.
- Match science sets to his reading level so he can follow the instructions without needing an adult at every step.
- Choose gifts with a skill to practise, since tricks and experiments keep kids coming back after the novelty wears off.
- For toddlers, stick with simple picks like bath squirters or a push riding toy that fit into everyday routines.
Usually safe to skip
- Science kits full of single-use supplies that run out after one afternoon.
- Trendy toys he may have outgrown by the time Christmas arrives.
- Large riding toys when there's no yard, driveway or open space to ride them.
Questions people ask about gifts for your nephew
- What do you buy a nephew who is into science?
- A science and exploration set built around one topic, like crystals, magnets or bugs, usually beats a vague all-in-one kit. Pick a theme he already talks about.
- Are fingerboards good for younger kids?
- Fingerboards suit school-aged kids who like fiddling with small objects and practising tricks. Younger children may find the fine finger control frustrating, and a set with a ramp can make it easier to get started.
- What are battle tops and will he like them?
- Battle tops are spinning tops launched into a small arena to knock each other out. They're most fun with a friend or sibling, so check whether other kids he plays with have them too.
