I think these gifts would be awesome for any 10 year old (and I may have bookmarked them for holiday and birthday gifts for Rho). This planetarium projector comes with 5 different discs, and I would pair them with the book Space Case). I also love these make-your-own comic book, video game, and neon-esque sign kits, and this old school Game Boy-esque console. If the 10 year old in question is into Zelda or just swords, this Master Sword building kit would be a huge hit. LTKGiftGuide LTKHoliday LTKkids
