Answer 7

i'm 13, so i'll only have to go back a couple years...

i liked to ride my dirtbike, watch TV, play computer games, play sports, and talk with friends

i really wanted a cell phone, a new gaming system (now, it'd either be the PS3 or the Xbox 360, ask him which one he wants before you buy it, there's a real rivalry going on in the gaming industry between the two), and i also wanted a TV for my room. i wouldn't suggest this, but it's an option. a rather expensive option would be an iPod or MP3 player. may i suggest this: kids these days have a tendency to lean towards the iPod or Zune. other MP3 players not as much. also, the new iPod video is the most popular amongst us. I have the iPod video, however, and it suits me fine. if you are going to buy a video iPod (be it the new iPod nano or the iPod video,) make it at least 40 Gigabytes (GBs.)

some cheaper things you can get him would be: a skateboard (get him a real one from a real skate shop, there's a real difference between a walmart board and a real board), or a BB gun, or even  a few video games (make sure they are for his gaming system, whichever one you have or choose).

I hope this helps!

--Edit--

If you're leaning towards a handheld device, lean towards Playstation's PSP than the Nintendo DS. i made a mistake in begging my mom to buy the DS, then when i finally got it, i was upset that it didn't have any good games for it. i really should've done my homework. xD

I also like the person above me's statement to get a rip-stik. they are about 77 Dollars at wal-mart, however, but from what i have heard, they are fun if you have pavement around. like, sidewalks and cul-de-saks and stuff.

ooh, and the first person's statement, to buy him tickets to a sporting event, would be a great idea. for my 13th birthday, my parents got me great seats to a baseball game with my favorite team. they won, and it was a great time. however, you should find out what his favorite sport is, then his favorite team in that sport. if it's like, tampa, and you live in like, new york, then wait for an away game where tampa comes to new york to play. reserve tickets to this event through ticketmaster (link below with the rest).

Answer 8

Those ripstick things.

Answer 10

strippers

Answer 11

Not ALL 11 year old boys like to do the same thing. Heck, alot of times they don't even come close to liking the same things. If this is for your son, I'm sorry your relationship isn't better that you don't already know what he likes. If this is for your child's friend/classmate, you need to be asking your child what their friend/classmate's interest are.

Answer 12

Video games are like 50 bucks each if not more..If your looking for something different Nerf toys are great.. you"re never to old for those. Movie tickes are always cool with all the movies coming out as of recent. What about music cd's? I think my son was just getting into music at that age, also gift cards for music cd's are fun and resonable priced. Do they like to read? Gift cards for a local book store. My son wanted a camera at that age to. Then we took him out for the day and let him take pictures of stuff in the city. There are some good movies out on sale now to you could consider.

Answer 13
