Need some cool gift ideas for my four year old nephew...
So I am going out of town next week to visit family, and I have a nephew is just about to turn four years old. Haven't seen him in a few years, and I want to surprise him with some really cool gift.
Anyone with kids or nephews have any suggestions?

Kids love Frozen, even boys.
Star Wars is also a winner at that age.
Get him drums if you hate his parents.

I got this for my four year old niece and she absolutely loves it:
https://www.amazon.com/Peaceable-Kingdom-Award-Winning-Cooperative/dp/B004HVKAAI
My brother loves it too because a) it means he doesn't have to play chutes and ladders yet again, and b) because it's cooperative, my niece takes losing a lot better, which means she's actually learning sportsmanship and he gets to actually play with her instead of pretending to play and letting her win.

Then next year, for his fifth birthday, Risk!
Also, Duplo Lego blocks, Thomas the Tank Engine, Matchbox/Hotwheels

Re: Need some cool gift ideas for my four year old nephew...
Our two- and four-year-old daughters love The Okee Dokee Brothers. Their CD/DVD sets are great for kids and they have real musical talent (they won a Grammy a few years back). The live shows are great; kids get a chance to come up and dance and sing with the band. Joe and Justin sing about camping, canoeing, tall tales, adventures in the great outdoors, being a cowboy, hiking in the mountains, and so on, complete with a few references to Luke Skywalker, Odysseus, and even being an unemployed millennial in the midst of the housing crisis (comes off lighter / funnier than it sounds!). Great stuff. Plus, the CD comes with a DVD film of them going on a trip (canoeing, hiking, ranching) and writing the songs, so it's part documentary, part music video, part video blog/journal. Excellent music that he'll enjoy and his parents won't mind, may even like themselves.
Volume 1 - Can You Canoe? A Mississippi River Adventure Album
Vol. 2 - Through the Woods: An Appalachian Adventure Album
Vol. 3 - Saddle Up! A Western Adventure Album
Here are a few videos:

If you're looking for something to get him long term, I suggest starting a collection of the Funko Pop bobbleheads. My 5 and 11 year old boys LOVE them (and I do as well). They're cheap and there's a HUGE selection of them. You'll have birthdays and Christmas' and any other gift giving holiday already figured out for the next 10 years, if not more.

How about something like a stomp rocket? You stomp on a plastic pump and it shoots a small rocket/glider into the air.

I think I got a record player for my 4th birthday! That's what I'd buy a 4-year old now.

I'm pretty sure I started mine out on LEGO around age 4. I guess it depends on the kid. If he has a habit of putting things in his mouth, stick with Duplo.
