This gift guide is for the kids ages 4-12, although some items could be enjoyable for teens.  And if you’re looking for gift ideas specifically for teens, stay tuned… that one is coming tomorrow!   

1 – Karaoke Set

This karaoke set is so much fun because it comes with not one, but two microphones!  The machine connects to any mobile device so you can play your favorite songs from your personal collection or any music app.  The machine also lights up to the rhythm of the music, and it’s small, making it highly transportable.

 

2 – Kids Smart Watch

This smart watch for kids has a selfie camera, an MP3 player, a voice recorder, habit tracking, games, a pedometer, a flashlight, an alarm, a stopwatch, and a calculator, making it a super fun option for your kids.  On the flipside, parents will love this one because there are parental controls that include timers to restrict play time, and the watch can be silenced.  This is a highly rated product, and it’s #3 on Amazon’s list of most gifted items in the Electronic Learning Systems category.

 

3 – Patch Belt Bags

These belt bags come in different colors with different letter options so you can customize it to your child’s liking.  We got one of these for Olivia last year, and it has held up well this past year.  She loves it.

 

4 – Lego Super Mario Piranha Plant

If your kid is a Lego lover (both of ours are!) this Lego set is such a unique and fun option, and it’s currently 20% off, which is highly unusual for Lego products!

 

5 – AirFort

This AirFort is, by far, my favorite item on this whole list!  What kid doesn’t love a fort?!  But what parent actually loves when forts are built?  I know I always dread when the kids want to build one because I know that an entire room of our house is going to be destroyed/unusable in the process.  Well, these AirForts allow your kids to have a fort in just 30 seconds.  All you need is a box fan!!  Just attach the box fan to the end of the fort, turn it on, and the fabric inflates, allowing your kids to have a full-sized fort in just 30 seconds.  When the time comes to clean up, the forts deflate in seconds and they fold up tiny for easy storage.  Our kids got one of these for Christmas a couple of years ago and they LOVE it.  The forts are very spacious (our whole family can sit in it with plenty of room to spare), they come in 17 fun themes including a beach scene, a house, a castle, and camo, and they’re highly rated at 4.7 / 5 stars with more than 18,000 reviews.  I’m telling you, if there’s only one thing that you get your kid this year, let this be it.  You won’t regret it!

 

6 – Fujifilm Instax Instant Camera

This would make a great gift for the older kids in this group!  This camera instantly prints pictures, allowing your child to have fun prints that they can tack on bulletin boards, put in their school binders, and keep in their own photo books.  This product is highly purchased, and it has nearly 30,000 reviews with 4.7 / 5 stars.

 

7 – Light Up Tracing Pad

Olivia has a light-up tracing pad similar to this one and she uses it all the time.  She used to use it to trace other drawings, but now she no longer traces, but she still enjoys drawing on it.

 

8 – Hot Wheels Barbie Remote Control Car

Y’all, Hot Wheels and Barbie teamed up to create this remote-control car for your Barbies and it is just so much fun!  I bought it for my niece for her birthday, and she loves it!

 

9 – Indoor Trampoline

This extra-large trampoline is easy to set up, and it can be folded down to a compact size for easy storage.  Its large size allows multiple kids to jump at once and the handlebar is adjustable to accommodate different heights.

 

10 – Taylor Swift Mad Libs

Does this one even need an explanation?!  It’s a Mad Libs about Taylor Swift.  Perfect for your little Swifties.

 

11 – Jewelry Holder

These patch jewelry holders are perfect for those who are just starting out their jewelry collection, and it also makes for the perfect travel companion.  They come in many different colors and letters so you can customize it to your child’s preferences. 

 

12 – Art Kit

This massive art kit includes 240 pieces of sketch pads, oil pastels, crayons, colored pencils, and much, much more.  It also comes with a double-sided trifold easel that two kids can use at once.

 

13 – Flybar Pogo Stick

Our kids had these Flybar pogo sticks for years and they loved them.  They are a great way for kids to be active indoors when it’s too cold or rainy to get outside.  It’s hard foam bottom provides a safe experience for your kids.  This is another item that is highly purchased as it has nearly 50,000 reviews with 4.3 / 5 stars.  It comes in tons of different colors and it’s wildly affordable at less than $15.

 

14 – Crazy Cart Shuffle Kid Powered Go-Kart

This go kart is easy to drive, drift, and spin without any batteries because the child is the one who fully controls it.  For ages 4+, this kart has five length settings so it grows with them, so this would make a fun gift for nearly any kid on your list!

 

Happy shopping, y’all!
