Top 5 Christmas Gifts for Boys
1) MacBook & iPhone Charger Stickers
Meo: Golden Gate Charger Label - 45W
2) Inflatable Indoor Coloring Ball
Bouncy, float-y fun from a super-lightweight inflatable ball made for safer indoor play. Blow up Ollyball’s shock-absorbing core and secure it inside the durable outer shell, and then let the kids have at it. Need a playtime time-out? The ball can be colored in with markers or crayons.
3) Self-Balancing Hoverboard Scooter
Roaming your way around city roads or large indoor spaces has never been easier. The Self-Balancing Hoverboard Scooter offers a fun, new-age experience that you don't want to miss.
4) Wooden Tabletop Horseracing Game
Gallop to a victory. This horseracing board game has you race against other jockeys to reach the finish line first. It combines dice, cards, and little pegged horses that are full of nostalgic charm. The wooden board is handcrafted in Missouri and is made with the mission to bring families together for an old-school (and fun) screen-free game night.
5) Coordination Game - Travel
This travel-sized balance toy was created as a rehabilitative tool to help hone fine motor skills—and it does it in the most fun and challenging way. The objective? Neatly stack the disks. That might sound simple, but it takes concentration and coordination to get the unpredictable, rotating magnetic bamboo discs to line up just right.
