Yippee! It's almost time for that once-in-a-lifetime 10th birthday. And that means gifts. So it's off to the mall where a world of dazzling gifts stretches out before you. You barely know where to start.

There is help, though. And it comes from a group of 10 and 11-year-olds, themselves.

I asked this group to list their favorite recent birthday gift. They were thrilled to give me hundreds of choices. We worked hard to narrow the list down to the top ten.

Here goes:

* Electric Train -

An electric train with winding tracks and blinking switch-lights is an exciting gift. You can add new cars, railroad worker figures, and extra track throughout the year.

* Tattoos -

A complete set of stick-on tattoos can delight a 10-year-old's heart. A set may contain animals, flowers, names, and names they make up on their own. Glitter tattoos and body paint is especially appreciated.

* Skateboard -

A colorful skateboard with solar-powered lights will add smiles to any birthday celebration.

* Wood-burning Set -

This set normally contains the hand-held electric burner-pen, wood blocks, stencils, paint and varnish. It provides hours of fun for any artist.

* Name Scroll -

A scroll comes with the person's first name and meaning on a background of a painted tiger, lion or some other animal in nature. Included is a crest, painted borders and seals. It is ready to be framed and hung on the wall. It is beautiful enough to make any heart sing.

* Anti-gravity Boots -

Sure-fire anti-gravity boots can be the hit of the party. Guests of all ages will want to try them out. You may even get to walk on the moon with them.

* Gemstone Polishing Kit -

A gemstone polishing kit is a most unusual gift and people, young and old, want to try their hand at using it. Nothing beats seeing those gemstones emerge. The kit comes with a tumbler and powder to remove hardened clay that covers the gemstones beneath.

* Juggler's Kit -

Jugglers' kits are a dandy gift. They come with colorful balls that light up when in motion. The lights are battery operated.

* Kites -

Kites in fantastic shapes of dragons, giants and tiger sharks are winning gifts. Some kites are even self-propelled for those days when the wind is low. Many have lights that blink on and off.

* Heelys -

Heelys are sports shoes with an added bonus - they roll. A wheel is released in the back sole of the shoe. You merely have to lift the front of your foot and off you go. You can zip around crowds and get anywhere fast.

I hope this list provides you with a starting point. With a little imagination and help from a young assistant, you can find a dazzling gift for a 10-year-old's birthday.
