What's a good gift for an 11 y/o?

Question

I just wanted to know what would be a good gift to

get for my 11 y/o cousin who lives in Europe. My mom

is going there in 2 weeks and he said he wants a nice

backpack and I bought it and I also bought some pencils,

pens, notebooks, erasers and a pair of tennis shoes. What other

things could I put in there to surprise him? Thanks everyone.

Serious answers only please.

Answer 1

I suppose you could get him some clothes too.

Answer 2

I agree with the mp3 player - kids this age are starting to get into their music.  And these days mp3s are not as expensive as they used to be.

My son is 11, and he also still likes his lego.

Answer 3

I don't know how much you want to spend , but maybe a very small mp3 player so he can play some tunes.   If he rides the bus or rides his bike home. Kids love electronics.
