The Best Gifts for 8 Year Old Boys
If you need a gift for an eight year old boy there are plenty of great ones to choose from. The hardest part is figuring out what to get an eight year old boy -especially if you live in a home of all girls.
And even if you do have young boys in your household sometimes you just get stuck and need a little nudge in the right direction to find just the right toy for the 8 year old boy in your life.
These are my favorite gifts for 8 year old boys!

Board Games for Boys
Boys at this age are technically savvy. Interactive software games for the family computer are always a good bet.
The tried and true board games and books that are engaging are also a good option for 8 year old boys. A race-to-the-finish is what 8 year olds usually like so the game of Sorry, Trouble, and Aggravation will entertain their competitive side. A really popular game at this age is Battleship. Your boy will never tire of trying to sink his competitor's battleship.

For books, both the Harry Potter series and the Lemony Snickets series are entertaining fantasy for boys of this age. You can never go wrong with the Guinness Book of World Records as well as Ripley's Believe It or Not; these books never cease to fascinate an 8 year old boy's mind.
Radio Controlled Fish or Shark

One of the top sellers this year is predicted to be the radio controlled fish or shark. I know our grandson would love to have either one of these super huge, family-fun toys! Remember to buy your helium, too, and be prepared for a birthday party filled with laughter and excitement! Even the grandparents will enjoy this super toy! Prepare for hilarious fun!

Cookies for the birthday boy!

When you can't decide, or you live far away from the birthday boy, you can still provide birthday cookies -- and boys love cookies! You can even write your message on these cookies! A delightful way to join in any 8 year old's celebrations!
Outdoor Toys for 8 Year Old Boys
Baseball, Beyblade, Badminton
Outside toys like a baseball glove and bat, and a trip to the local batting cages will have your athlete thrilled. Badminton sets, tennis racket, or a scooter are great gift ideas to get your boy playing outside.
If you are looking for a gift that will also be popular with the neighborhood boys, than the BeyBlade Metal Fusion Super Vortex Battle Set will be a big hit. The set consists of small rip-cord powered metal tops that get spun into an arena with another player's top. The tops battle it out in the arena and the last one still standing wins.

Star Wars Legos and Lightsabers
Best Gifts for 8 Year Old Boys
With Star Wars still being so popular, any of the Star Wars Lego sets would be appropriate for this age. Every 8 year old boy needs a lightsaber and if you want to get a unique one there is the Stars Wars The Clone Wars General Grievous Spinning Electronic Lightsaber. Our 8 year old grandson loves these light sabers and legos!
With this list in hand, you can't go wrong when you set out to buy gifts for an eight year old boy.

- Great list my husband (he's no 8-year old boy) plays battleship every night...a handheld electronic version so apparently that's an idea men never grow out of.

- World Records books were always popular in our household with two boys. You chose a few other gifts for 8-year-old boys that mine loved at that age. Can't go wrong with a Lego set, that's for sure!
