Used to love electronics project kits too.. I had a couple that were second hand sets, so they didn't come with wires, and the books were a little worn.
My dad found around 20 feet of about 50 pair twisted copper that had been discarded. I think we used that as a source for wire for several years for many projects.

Can one of you lot please adopt me. My parents never spent that much on me!

We have a boutique style game store that I go in and browse stuff. It's overpriced but I try and support small businesses that are local...
Perudo, Farkle and a few others like that are good for older kids (8+?) and teach good math skills to boot. For the boys group I work with, we had 80+ play Perudo in one sitting. It was fun to watch (at least the end of it was...).
The Cranium games are always good.

Haha, I'm also one to play Star Wars stratego with regular stratego rules.
Also, I would recommend getting "The A-Maze-ing Labyrinth" if you see it for a good price. Simple game for kids 6+, but there is a lot of critical thinking skills that the game develops, and it is equally enjoyable by adults. It's overall just a really fun game to play!

I'm adding that to my list to give to my mom for my stepson. Thanks!

Probably the best board game I've ever played is Settlers of Catan. It's more a less a board game version of a turn-based strategy game. It's all about resource management and building cities and settlements, controlling important parts of the map, etc. It's an excellent game. If you're going to get a board game, get that board game. It's not for kids under 10, though. It's also not inexpensive. It's like $30+
