It is great to have you on the We Need
to Talk Christmas Gift Guide podcast today. We're talking young
boys probably looking at ten and below for this age group.
Now I have a seven year old son, so I
am well versed in this area. We are starting with
a set of football goals thirty nine dollars from the warehouse.
My son asks for these every year and even when
(00:26):
I get them, he wants more of them. So football
is really really big in this country at the moment.
Even though he plays rugby, he still wants football goals.
So don't be afraid if they play a different sport.
All the boys seem to like football. Some shark ethachers
now Ehaicas are the kind of long bike shorts that
kids wear as underwear and for forty five ninety nine,
(00:47):
if you go to Ehaca spelled e t Hika dot
co dot Nz you will get the shark version. They
are so cool and I have bought this for my son.
He won't be listening to this, so it's not going
to ruin it. If you want to call set of
boardies for twenty four ninety nine, Wildenco Kids dot Com
has a really cool purple and mint double panel pair
(01:09):
which I thought were really nice. Hot wheels, monster trucks,
remote control car. Remote controls are big with this age group.
These are from Farmers dot cot On inzaid. This one's
sixty nine to ninety nine, but there were cheaper options
if you want to have a look at that. But
you can't go past a remote control for a young boy.
The game headbands. We've got this in our family and
(01:29):
it's really cool if you are going away for summer
or staying with another family. Thirty one ninety nine. You
can get that at nighty eight at cotton On for
thirty nine dollars. You can get the Chicago Bulls basketball singlet.
Basketball singlets and football tops are really really big in
this age bracket. Cottonon also has the matching shorts if
(01:50):
you wanted to make it a full set one hundred
and fifty three dollars, so this is a significant purchase.
But from no Leaming dot cot On inz you can
get a Garmin watch. This is a really cool start
to watch for young kids. It basically just has their
steps and it tells the digital time. It's really hearty,
so if they drop her, it will fall over. It's
(02:11):
going to withstand but I know that watches are really
big with the seven year old boys. I got this
for my son for his birthday. It's a Minecraft bean bag.
It's one hundred and nine dollars from Mighty Ape. It
has a drink container holder in it. It's really but
it takes up a lot of room in his bedroom,
so be aware of that. But he loves lounging on
(02:31):
that and laxing back and when we're watching family movies
and it's green and it's Minecraft, and that's really big
with this age group. Okay, the Doctor Zoos begin a
book collection. The box set. You could get an individual book,
which will be great, but if you wanted to get
that complete set from Mighty Ape, it's one hundred and
fifteen dollars and those books are loved universally by bye boys,
(02:52):
by girls, but anyone, so that would be a really
cool gift. I think my son was given this by
a friend for his birthday, and that is the Spaulding
personalized basketball. It's got his name on it. In fact,
it actually glows in the dark as well. Not that
he plays basketball in the dark, March, but he found
it cool just to go into our wardrobe and see
his name all litter one hundred and twenty nine dollars
(03:15):
go to Spaulding dot net dot mz and you can
personalize it with anything with their name, their first name,
their last name, maybe it's their nickname. Basketball is so
big with that age group as well. What I haven't
put on there, and I make this suggestion for slightly
older boys and girls if they're into football, is the
football tops, the jerseys like I've got my son a
(03:38):
couple of the different ones. The Auckland FC is really
hot right now, but if you are a Phoenix fan,
they have those in the youth sizes as well, and
I know that you can get those from Rebel Sport.
But actually any sort of silky football top, whether it's
Arsenal or Manchester United, I find that my son lives
in them. And because they're sporty type tops, the really
(04:00):
good for anti sweat and just really practical as well.
So I would say if you were to get anything
for a young boy, I would look in the football
realm this year. A football itself, the goals, the football top,
the personalized basketball. So many good options there. Good luck
