Ya know, my kids are spoiled and REALLY good kids. I am not saying that it is always nice and peaceful but for the most part, they are great. They do not get in trouble in school and do their absolute best at the school work....AND they are spoiled. If there is a game he has wanted, he has it....I usually preorder them. I may, in the end, just give him a card with cash in it and tell him to get what he wants. I refuse to do that at Christmas (I think if kids are under a certain age, they should have presnts and not cash under the xmas tree) but birthday is okay for money.
