What gifts to buy 11 year old boys
The best gifts for 11 year old boys are sometimes difficult to choose as 11 year old boys are at that difficult age where they aren't quite teenagers but are just starting to grow out of some of their boy toys. However there are many great gifts for this age group and some more mature toys too.
The best gift to buy an 11 year old boy depends quite a lot on their interests. Are they heavily into video and computer games? Do they like music? Are they active?
I have tried to cover some great gift ideas for all kinds of 11 year old boys. Read on to discover the best gifts for 11 year old boys.

Skateboards
11 year old boys quite often like skateboards so think about getting one as a gift. The board opposite is a good choice and price for a beginner board so an 11 year old can try out skating and decide whether it is for them before splashing out on something more expensive.

Radica 20Q Artificial Intelligence Game
This makes a great gift for 11 year old boys but the rest of the family will love playing too.
You think of something and the game asks you 20 questions. Press the buttons to answer yes or no. When it's asked 20 questions, the game will say what you have been thinking of. It wins if is correct, if not you win. Can you really be beaten by a machine? The reviews on Amazon say the machine is pretty accurate and guesses correctly most of the time. At the time of writing, it's only $7.50 which is good value for money for lots of fun.

Microscopes fulfill an 11 year old boys need for curiosity. Put all kinds of objects underneath and see what the are made of and look like. They are at the age when you can make sure they find science fascinating instead of a boring chore at school. My First Lab Duo Scope is a great first microscope, not too expensive but with a wide range of features and sturdy too.
Another great gift to build an 11 year old boys passion for science is a crystal growing kit. Grow your own crystals within 2 to 3 days. The kit featured contains 15 different crystal growing activities.

Nerf Dart Tag
Nerf guns are great toys for 11 year old boys. This set includes a set of two guns and the object of the game is to shoot your opponent with the foam darts. If it gets stuck to the vest they are wearing you have scored a point. There's no arguing about whether people have been shot as the dart will stay stuck to the vest. It's great for playing outdoors or around the house.

I pod touch
An ipod touch would make a really cool gift for any 11 year old boy. Listen to your favorite music, browse the web, watch videos and films, play games and use different apps in the comfort of your own home or while on the go.
Video Games
Many 11 year old boys have a games console (Wii, playstation, Xbox) and so video games often make the best gifts.
One of the most popular right now is guitar hero. The idea is to follow on-screen, color-coded instructions to hit buttons on a guitar controller in time with the music.
There are lots of different version of guitar hero. One for the PS3 and another for the Wii, with lots of different songs to play guitar to.
When buying check whether the game is sold alone or comes with a "guitar". If it doesn't come with an instrument you can buy this separately.

Games console
If an 11 year old boy hasn't already got a games console this would definitely make a great gift for many boys.
Obviously they are very expensive but I have included links to the Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3 opposite so you can check out reviews and prices on Amazon.
Digital cameras for 11 year old boys
Another great gift for 11 year old boys is their first digital camera.
You probably don't want to spend too much money on a camera for 11 year old boys as there is always a huge danger they may loose or damage it.
However, there are lots of great cameras on the market for under or around $100 which are easy to use. Find a selection opposite.
The Fujifilm FinePix JV100 is currently $69.99 on amazon.com. It features 12-megapixel resolution for large, photo-quality prints. It takes some movie with sound. Has features which make is easier to take pictures including, tracking Auto Focus, smile and blink detection, face detection and automatic red-eye removal.

Telescope
Many boys around 11 years have a huge fascination with space so why not get them a telescope so that they can explore outer space with their own eyes at night.
Binoculars or Night Vision Goggles
11 year old boys enjoy.exploring the world around them so why not get them some binoculars which they can use either to look at the wildlife in the area.
Or why not get them some night vision goggles to play spy or just enjoy seeing the world at night.

If the 11 year old boy you are buying for, is into skating, they will probably love a ripstik caster board. Its a type of skateboard that has been described as a mix between skating and snowboarding. It may take a few days to master but it looks cool and has been described as the next big thrill.

Yeah probably the wii (guitar hero)
The ipod touch looks cool
the same gifts are also true for girls,
I say it all looks cool as awsomeness I can't wait.
I can't what until my little brother turns 11 he would love all of these thing thanks for the tips.You have some rocking ideas
I think a good gift for an 11 year old is something to be played outside with like a bike, skateboard etc or something for inside (except video games) like a keyboard, book or an other instrument.

AN I POD TOUCH IS A GREAT GIFT FOR A 11 YEAR OLD
I am an 11 year old boy so i know what it feels like being one. The best thing to do with them is to take them out somewhere not like Chuck E cheeses. HECK no. Take them somewhere like main event or six flags there ready for bigger things!
STILL NOT DONE! If it's his birthday and he's only got a ps2, why not upgrade the system to a 3! THATS RIGHT A PS3. The thing is like a facebook. You can add friends. My cousins are so LUCKY. They've all got I phones, I touches ps3 Nintendo wii, and there own laptops. WHAT THE HECK MAN! Or Try buying them there own guitar. My mom bought me one with a amp. Thats right, An electric guitar! Hope my two comments really helped you, bye.
Okay well im 11 and id like a Iphone or ipod touch or a laptop or so all the boys in my school are basically into this stuff this might be a good present
A razor ground force electric can also be gifted. Here is what I bought for my son: http://hubpages.com/hub/Razor-Ground-Force-Electri
Ipod touch is pretty much a great present for anyone tbh
hey, i'm turning 11 and i would really like a laptop. browse the internet and do your homework at the same time. then, you could send emails to friends. and your siblings buy you computer games, instead of expensive video games. but if that is out of the money budget then get them a cheap nintendo DS or an ipod touch, or if they already have those things then ipod speakers or more nintendo games. hope this helps.
I'm turning 11 and i have know clue what i want so i like my g-mas idea $120 then wenever i see stuff i can just buy it

Rich or not a gift should be giving from the heart
music/hiphop classes, cooking,sport, educative games,
follow their passion encourage them to develop their skills.
Im sorry but what kid needs a boyfriend or girlfriend at 11years old. Way too young, you have your whole life ahead of you for that frustration. You kids need to get outside and do something. This is what is wrong with today's society. Lazy kids, don't do crap but worry about what video games they have and who they are better then. Makes me sick no wonder America is the most obese country in the world, and from the looks of these posts its only gonna get worse
we have an 11 yr old...he has a WII, Nintendo DS, our ps2 is probably 8-9 years old. In my opinion they don't need anymore electronic stuff and we can't afford Ipods and Ipads (his gaming time is limited anyway) and he doesn't need a cell phone....so....any creative ideas that gets them active and off the couch?
My boys (and their friends) love the Nerf guns. It gets them outside (or even inside) and running around. Although I have to admit my 11yo seems to get a lot of pleasure out of using my 6yo for target practice ;
My son is turning 11 on tghe 2nd of January 2011. as he is getting older its getting more and more difficult to think of something he will like. He likes spending time with the family. He has a PS2 and a PSP so no more consoles or games i need something educational and exciting. He loves science, Maths, and English, and he does kickboxing!!!!!
An 11 yo boy would love something electronic,but cool.Like walkie-talkies. Their great to keep boyz bissy.The last thing we need 'round here is more electronic stuff,so go old school.
beep boop beep boop, i am chucka, from the world of lost, in my country, i dont even know what a birthday is.

Why do parents even rely on these sites to help them with their kids? You parents should know your kids instead of going to these sites to help them.

I have just bought myself the dangerous book for boys. It would be a great present from 8 to 80. (Quoted from the book!) Its full of great stuff. I have PS3 but i'm not too keen on it anymore.

All I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! If what these people are saying is true I think they need to think of what is really important. My little brother is turning 11 in a few days and he is nothing like what some people say he should be. He has a ps3 but rarely plays it. I want to make him something special (homemade) but am stumped.
I Reccomend Pokemon Games On DS If Your Son Does Not Have Any Pokemon Games Already. If He Does Not Have A DS Yet, Get Him A DS Lite. They Are Quite Cheap, Not Too Flashy And Comapatible With The GameBoy Advanced Games.

How about a Nintendo Wii or gaming console?
