Have drawn friend's 7 year old DS for Secret Santa we do between a group of us.
He only ever seems to play with screen-based things (his DS goes everywhere with him) and I refuse to go down this route (old gimmer emoticon needed :))

What can I get him for £5 that will get him off his backside?

A decent skipping rope? Tell him boxers do it ;)

My 6 yr old ds is a demon skipper

A yoyo

Got this for my DS (6) for Christmas - has good reviews (although it does have a CD-Rom with it)

Tennis balls. My 7yo DS plays with his in our hall every night for about an hour. Tennis, throwing, football, you name it.

Best few quid I ever spent. Get the light ones designed for kids.
