Bee Chunder 3rd String

Just one nice item every year until they are 17. Backpack, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, leatherman, etc. Nice hiking shoes and nice winter boots are last since they are growing like weeds.

Spend a day with your kid doing activities and talking with him so you know what

Zedhead

I spend a ton of time with this one. He is really chill on possessions

Medute

Hatchet, My Side is the Mountain, Warrior Kid Series are good books for his age.

My son turns 11 in a week. All he wants is NBA 2K 2020.

I bought him a 2K game last year and he never plays it

Medute

Seems like the NBA2K series has really fallen off the past couple of years

Supposedly it requires a lot of microtransactions

"The Graveyard Book" by Neil Gaiman if he likes fiction

He’s a pretty sweet kid who gets scared easily

It's not very scary, tamer than the early Harry Potter books

He hates baseball. Only sport he won’t play

Does he like to try new foods? You could try a Snack Crate subscription.
