Just call me the gift-giving ninja. I love coming up with unique, fun and practical gifts for every birthday. My 6-year-old had just one item on his birthday gift list: a tiny notebook that could fit in his pocket so he could write notes whenever he wanted. Since I knew friends and family would be asking us for gift ideas, I decided to use my ninja skills to come up with a list of 11 best birthday gift ideas for a 6-year-old boy.
Whether the 6-year-old in your life is into riding his bike or playing video games, I bet he would like every item on this birthday gift list.
9 best birthday gift ideas for a 6-year-old boy

1. Laser X (Target, $44.99)

This is similar to the laser tag of our childhoods, but better. The laser and vest light up with every hit, and it's a fun way to encourage children to run around. I've always been against any toy that even slightly resembles a gun, but after seeing my son's sweaty and happy face after a quick round of Laser X I'm so glad someone gave him this game. It works with other sets too, so more than two people can play together. 2. Colorblock Zip Hoodie (Tea Collection, $49.50 - but keep your eye out for sales!)

 
My kids have reached the age where they want to wear activewear, but I still like them to look polished and dressed well. While clothes don't seem like a fun birthday gift, they can be! The key is to find out what the child likes. I still remember how fun it was to wear a new out...
