Enjoy outdoor fun and games in Johnson County with these great gifts

Webp 2edited

There’s nothing worse than trying to find a gift for someone and not knowing what to get them.

To take the guesswork out of gift buying, we’ve found practical and helpful gifts for any occasion, sorted by theme to help find everything you are looking for.

Top 5 “Outdoor Fun & Games” Gifts

1) MEGALOOP - Red & Blue
Create people-sized bubbles with this giant bubble wand—and we mean giant. It’s a wand and dipping pool combo that lets kids (or, be honest, you) make ultra-huge bubble tubes. And with Uncle Bubble’s unique bubble solution, the bubbles are stronger and last longer, too.

2) Hook & Ring Game - Surf Edition
Creator Kyle McGetrick originally made a Tiki Toss smartphone game, and fans loved it so much they asked him to create the real thing. This is a simple, addictive game for parties, barbecues, and other gatherings—indoor or out. Swing the ring on a string, and try to hook it on the Tiki Toss board. Follow the preset scoring rules or make up your own.

3) Inflatable Animal Bouncer
These bouncy toys are a hop in the right direction. Beyond the giggles and play, these little hoppers promote body coordination and balance for toddlers. Unlike the average bouncy toy, these have tough, BPA-free skin as well as plump ears and legs for grip and support. Each animal comes with a pump, so your little one will be riding around in no time.

4) Cubockle Dice Cornhole Game
Cubockle brings a new kind of family-friendly fun to your backyard. Made in Missouri, this twist on familiar favorites has hints of cornhole, horseshoes, lawn darts, and bocce. With two ways to score—tossing bean bags and bouncy cubes into plastic rings—it takes strategy, skill, and luck to win.

5) Toss & Bounce Outdoor Game
An outdoor bounce ball game, RampShot gives any get-together an energy boost. It’s similar to cornhole, but gets more people in on the action trying to catch unpredictable bounces at the backyard, beach, and beyond.
