That way it is something he can enjoy with friends and it makes for a special night out. How about something he could enjoy with a few friends, like movie tickets or a gift card for Chuckie Cheese?

They have some other great toys at the Discovery Store, if that's up his alley. Wow, that is a lot of popcorn. Wow.

Drove me crazy for years. :) Anyway, his favorite gifts for selling were always gift cards, espcially to Wal Mart or somewhere where he could buy camping supplies and outdoor gear for scouts. You might think about some kind of scouting-related item that he might need, like a good sleeping bag, a tent, a cool headlamp, etc. My son enjoyed going to the store and picking stuff out on his own. Just a thought. My son was in cub scouts (and is now almost an eagle scout), so I can sympathize with you on the whole popcorn thing. Drove me crazy for years. :)

It could include popcorn and a drinks for maybe up to 4 kids? Or Best Buy, where they can get almost anything...Or Home Depot, where there are amazing projects for kids such as bird feeders to build,, art projects ect? Or maybe coupon books from good old McDonalds??? Or Red Robin, or somewhere they might go with his family thats on the cheap and easy level???
