Top 5 Christmas Gifts for Boys
1) Kid's Animal Weighted Lap Pad
Huggaroo: Kid's Animal Weighted Lap Pad - Lamb
2) Quixo Wooden Strategy Board Game
Quixo is easy to get the hang of and an enjoyable challenge to play (and play again). The strategy game entails sliding and arranging cubes to line up in rows of X’s or O’s, even as the game board changes with each turn. Crafted of sturdy wood, it’s made to last for many rounds of play.
3) Smartphone Enabled Kids' Camera
Budding photographers can get snap-happy with this smartphone case that turns the phone into a camera just for kids. The classic point-and-shoot design protects the phone while letting kids access its camera function. Plug the phone into the case and connect to the app, and let the little photogs take it from there—they can even edit shots and explore photography-themed play, too.
4) Kid's Headphones
Lunii’s Kid's Headphones are just the right size for little ears, and the volume limit of 85db makes them safe for young listeners. Made in Lunii’s iconic bright blue and yellow to match Lunii's Audio Storyteller, your little listener will be fashionable and comfortable while creating their very own stories. And since every Octave comes with a dual-jack plug, you can snuggle up and listen to stories together.
5) DayDreamimal™ Comfort Animal Keychains
Your child can carry their hopes and dreams with them during the day. These comforting creatures encourage positive thinking in children. Just write down hopes, dreams, and aspirations on a blank "daydream wishes" card and place the card into the keychain so they can carry their dreams with them always.
