Boy gift ideas

I have NO idea what to get my 7 and 5 year old boys and grandparents and families are asking for ideas.
I am doing some little things for 8 nights. I keep asking my 7 year old if he wants money for a basketball clinic and he said he'd rather toys. Of course he has a ton in the basement he hardly touches. He never touches his cars, sometimes the Legos and doesn't care for action figures.
He has a ton of art stuff and has the magnatiles with his brother. They play games and we have a lot of those.
I don't want any more little toys in the house that will collect dust. He has an Ipad and they Wii, which he plays with sometimes. I also feel like we're never home to even play with the stuff.
Sorry for the rant. LOL! I have them pick gifts for TOT's and told them less toys and maybe clothes, pajamas, sports stuff, etc.
Any other ideas? Thanks!

following.... I have a 7 year old (and a 3 yr old.) I don't know what to get my 7 yr old. He says he wants toys but I don't know what. He's not into superheroes or legos. I don't know what to get him!


I'm thinking some arts/crafts things and an air hockey table. And he keeps saying he wants his own cool suitcase (i guess PBK). And a flipazoo.

DS just turned 6... he wants that Cozmo Robot toy that just came out.... so thats gonna be his "big" gift.
maybe one of those Dinosaur "dig" kits? where they chip away at the egg to find the dinosaur or fossil? seems like it would keep them busy for awhile, but not be a toy that ends up hanging around... LOL
I think my mom is gonna get him a couple months of that Kiwi Crate, where they send you little projects to do every month... so, same idea. something fun but that you won't have around for too long haha
he also wants that new RC helicopter that little tikes came out with
He just got the game Robot Turtles for his birthday and has been having fun with that...

He got an air hockey table last year that he hasn't touched. LOL
I'm at a loss and wish he would want to do the basketball clinic or some activity like that. He says he wants to open toys. I told him he has to start playing with the ones he has first.

Oh no about the air hockey table. I bet the same thing would happen here. Secretly I think I want to play air hockey;)

My 7 y.o. DS says he wants toys and I think it's bc he has a younger brother (3) who gets toys. It's almost like wanting to stay little i think, or jeaously.

I just spent 45 minutes on amazon trying to figure out what to het him and came across these Grossery Gang toys. He's never mentioned them but they are geared towards their age range. I might buy some to satisfy the "toy" requirement and then just get him other things I think he'd like.
