Christmas ideas for a 6-8 year old boy

I am by no means an expert on gift-buying. But I have compiled a list of what I believe to be fun gifts for a 6-9 year old, science loving, nerdy, awesome boy!

(Keep in mind, my son is 7, he has high-functioning autism, and he does not play with toys. He just doesn't, he never has. I think he's pretty awesome anyway. 😉😀)

This year, since we are moving, we decided to do the "something they want, something they need, something to wear, and something to read." This hasn't really saved us any money 😂 But it has cut down on the amount of presents, which is what we were aiming for!

1. Something to read: science books or readers for their reading level. 

Picture encylopedia 

Wildlife book

Bug book

2. Something to wear: my son requested "fancy" shoes. (AKA name brand 😂)

Under Armour shoes

3. Something they want: Schleich figures, insect collecting kits, and/or art supplies.

Bison

Insect kit 

Light up tracing pad

4. Something they need: fun bedding! We are having a quilt made for each kid by AJ's awesome aunt. But Target has lots of fun bedding if you don't have an aunt with a quilt shop! ;) 

Dino bedding 

Sheets 

And last, but not least! Stocking stuffers. We love stockings over here!

"Fancy" socks

Electric tooth brush

Flossers 

Best chapstick ever.

Let me know what's on your kids Christmas list, and if this list was helpful!
