Hi There,

I have twin boys who will be turning 12 soon. One is athletic and active and the other is a quite, artistic type. We are getting a beginner woodcarving set for them to share, but then am stumped to find something that would appeal to the more active son.

He love to read, he loves Narnia, Star Wars, and LOTR, he love to play, but I'm afraid if I get something like Star Wars figures they will both fight over them. We are trying to steer away from computer games and grandpa is getting them some remote control cars.

I'm so stumped. Any ideas? Thanks so much!

Would your son appreciate clothes or caps or other items with a favorite team on them? My ds 12 loves his various college shirts, football jerseys, basketball jerseys, and the ever growing collection of various baseball hats.

He's getting a woodcarving kit this year too!

I have three boys around that age, 10, 12 and 14. One is getting a bow and arrow, another a whip.

I notice you live in Florida, what about body boards for the surf or snorkeling gear? Or do you already have that, or perhaps my geography is out?

We got ds12 an Air Burst Rocket from Rainbow Resource. We had one before and it is lots of fun!
