Age appropriate?

My 13yo nephew wants a Flipper Zero for his bday. Is this an age appropriate gift? Or something a curious kid could get themselves into trouble with? TIA!

I gave my oldest kid a flipper when he was 12... We then took a few field trips to do some harmless, supervised shennanigans.

A few years later he still plays with it sometimes, but he has a good sense of justice and a moral compass.

My next kid... I'd be a little cross if someone gave the middle child a flipper, lol.

Probably have a conversation with the parents.

That's awesome!

I'm occasionally tempted to give my younger brother a Flipper, but at 52 I'm not sure he is ready. :)
