i need some help with a Christmas gift idea for a 9 - 10 year old boy. i'm crocheting a little purse and coin bag for his sister and plan to buy her a few *SMALL* things to go in it. For him though, i am stumped. i know nothing about boys this age and their tastes, so iam stumped for an idea. i'd prefer it to be something crocheted, since that's what i'm fastest and bestest at, but i don't think he'd appreciate the whole hat scarf thing (i had thought to make him a set from camouflage yarn...i may still) If anyone has any better ideas, i'd love to hear them. If not, i may go with a hat/scarf/mitten combo...or hat/scarf/something else useful combo.

Thanks in advance!
