What's a good birthday gift for a three year old nephew? I know he likes cars excessively, but I don't think a car book would be a good idea because I don't know what he already has. Same goes for other books in general. I was thinking of perhaps a high grade Gundam model kit, but they're hard to find sometimes.

3 year olds and model kits dont mesh. Just get him some blues clues shit. Kids eat that stuff up

What about a Tonka truck, or hotwheels then?

Doh, would normally be a good idea, but he has way too many already. Occasionally, my mother (who is essentially acting as a nanny during the week when his parents work) gets those big packages with 5 Hot Wheels inside, but rather than giving them all to him at once, she'll just give him one every now and then. He's got an entire chest full of toy cars of varying sizes. I wonder how he's going to act when his little brother (now about 6 months old) starts playing with his stuff. Maybe I'll try to find some obscure book he's not likely to have. I remember for his first Christmas, I bought him a great big Curious George book, as well as that book about caterpillars and butterflies that are hungry.

I'd give him a SD Gundam Deathscythe figure. Pretty damn cool.

Build him some ramps for his cars.

Get Duplos... is that what they're callled? They're like Legos but for little kids. They're big so kids can't swallow them and rounded edges so they can't poke their eyes out.
