Finding the perfect gift for a boy can be a difficult task - especially if you don't know much about the child you're giving the gift to. There are so many things to choose from since new types of merchandise are practically added to gift shop shelves every month. While it's okay to look around and decide as you find yourself inside the gift shop, it's still best to first have an idea of exactly what you're looking for before heading towards that store. This way, the gift shop personnel can also better assist you. 1. Toy cars - these things come in different sizes.

The younger the child is the bigger the toy car you should usually get. 2. Action figures - Superman and Batman mostly never get old but with newer programs for children on TV and on film, newer action figures are also developed. Choose an action figure that has movable body parts. Ones that come with different costumes like capes or masks as well as accessories also tend to be more interesting. 3. Toy guns - Not that you're encouraging the child to be violent, but most boys really like these kinds of toys. Of course even if you choose to give a toy gun, you need to get one that looks fun and friendly, like water guns with fun and colorful designs.

4. T-shirts - when it comes to buying shirts and clothes for boys, getting the right size, design and color proves to be important. Blue, green, white, black and red are normally popular colors for boys and when it comes to the design you can choose one that has a print of their favorite characters. Plain colored shirts are okay too. Never get a size that's too small or too big. It should be loose enough to let the child move about but not too big that the sleeves extend beyond his elbows. 5. Game CDs - it's not uncommon to find Play station consoles, PSPs, Nintendo Wii's and Xbox 360s in the homes of children today. If you know which of these things the celebrator owns, it is a particularly good idea to get him a CD of a well-known game that has a new version already. If you're close to the kid's who is having the birthday, ask his parents about the CDs he already has so you won't give him a double. Now that you have several ideas when it comes to gifts for boys, all you have to do is go to the shop and find the shelves that offer these products. Remember that although there are popular and common gifts around, getting the best gift also depends on how well you know the person you're giving it too.
