MY THOUGHTS
My son and I are both huge CSI fanatics.  We love the show and both love to solve "mysteries."  When I was a teen, I wanted to be a CSI investigator but knew I could never stomach the really bad scenes.  My son is just like me, loves the science but not too thrilled with the bad scenes.  Lucky for us, Science X has a kit to help us with our CSI fascination.
The Science X CSI kit has 12 activities to help any kiddo become a good detective.  The kit comes with several needed items, but also needs everyday items to help do the activities.  After receiving the kit, I decided my kiddos and I needed would need to do a Whodunnit? party. ( Yes, we loved the show this past summer! )  So I am currently working to put together an awesome CSI party - kinda a murder mystery dinner show! 
I know my kiddos will be excited to take fingerprints and analyze evidence and of course even isolate DNA.  Yep, the kit can help any kiddo do that.  Also the kit can help kiddos get excited with science which is a really great thing in my book!  The kit is available from Ravensburger.  Right now you can purchase the kit online at Amazon for under $25 right now.  SO be sure to grab a kit for any detective to be in your family! It will definitely make a great gift this Holiday season.
