My son is turning 7 next week, and for the first time I’m coming up dry on ideas for a birthday present. Maybe it’s because for the last 11 months or so he’s been talking about what he wants for his birthday, and I’m not really on board with any of his requests. He’s asked for a bunch of different computer games – some handheld and some for the Wii. I’m not against computer games in principle, but I’d rather get him something that doesn’t specifically encourage more screen time. He’d also love anything Star Wars related, but frankly the three light sabers he has seem to cover that category sufficiently. So what do I do? Do I get him what he’s asked for or try to come up with something original that he will love? Any ideas?
