We love gifts that get the whole family moving, which is exactly what the Globber NL-205 Scooter does. This fun, versatile scooter is durable and comfortable, easily folds up for storage or to take with you wherever you want to go. Pack it up and set up in a matter of seconds, which is perfect for frequent use. My favorite thing about this super smooth riding scooter is that it is totally adjustable with 4 height adjustments to accommodate all ages. Yes, you read that right–kids, teens and even adults can all enjoy this stylish ride that comes in a variety of fun colors. Maybe it’s the perfect gift to give to your whole family and plan some screen-free time together!

Whether you are a young family or a college student, we recommend the super fun 4-Player All-in-One Portable Table Tennis Set from Pro Spin. This set is a must have! Don’t have the space for a full size ping pong table in your house? No worries! This set has everything you need to convert a regular table into a fun rec room ping pong table. We’ve used it over and over again. Clear off the dishes from dinner and pop the net onto any table up to two inches thick. The retractable net can expand to up to 72 inches, so it will work just about anywhere. In about 30 seconds, you have the perfect ping pong table! I can’t emphasize enough how fun and how much of a stress relief it can be to drop everything and engage in a game or two of ping pong. It’s great for up to four players and will be something you look forward to playing with your family (or room mates at college!). When you are done, it takes less than a minute to put it all away for another day

We love active gifts and any chance to get moving, we are all about that. Teach your kids to go old school with a pair of Xino Sports inline roller skates. Rest assured that these skates will get a ton of use out of them. They are adjustable so they can grow with your kiddos! They work for both boys and girls and have some fun LED wheels, perfect for a family outing to the skating rink!

Whether you want your kids to learn some skills at home or you find yourself having your own preschool after all the commotion this year, I’ve got a super cool gift for you!

Through repetition, songs, dance and activities, AILA can help your little ones grow accustomed to and excited to learn. Whether you use it in broadcast mode or through learning sessions, your AILA can become a personalized learning adventure tailor made for your family!

I love setting up spaces that cultivate learning and fun. For the preschool set, how about setting up one of these super cool (and very affordable) area rugs in their playspace to add some color and lots of opportunities for growth and imaginative play? I love the ABC’s, Numbers, and Shapes rugs, but there are tons of other options available from KC Cubs, like the street road map and dinosaur road map.

GeoMag always has fun hands on toys (STEM, anyone?) that encourage learning. We are loving the Mechanics Gravity Loops & Turns, a great ball bearing track you build and then race magnetic cannons on. Who knew mechanics and physics could be so fun?

Have you heard of Toniebox? This super hip padded speaker system is an awesome gift for little ones who like to hear music, stories, and more.

They will love the collectible, hand painted characters that add hours and hours of stories and songs to their toniebox! Highly recommend this fun toy!

A great introduction to STEAM, this is an entry-level robot perfect for learning how to code, perfect for ages 4 and up. The possibilities and fun are virtually endless!

We love gifts that kids can build themselves and then play with on end afterwards. These fun building sets from Snap Ships are a fun change of pace. Super affordable and lots of options available, they are fun to build and surprisingly durable during play. Imagine if actions figures and LEGO were combined. 80s fans will love the retro feel to them!

It’s a great baby to start with! I love the baby’s sweet features and details. Your little one will love to take care of her own baby doll!

We love Madame Alexander’s Kindness Club dolls, as well. These girls have big personalities, hearts and dreams and have fun on their adventures, as they try to make the world a better place.
