Wrt toys, pack some up into crates and store out of sight for a few months. Then put them out again and pack some of the others. Seeing them again will invoke some nostalgia/novelty and maybe spur him to play with them again.

This even works with the family dog that I spoil rotten too :-)

For outside stuff get thing that can be used outside - fishing stuff, binoculars/bird book, seeds, soil testing kit, topo maps...

YMMV
