When I created this list of gifts, I turned to the experts…my:
- Nieces: ages 8, 9, 11, and 12
- Nephews: ages 11 and 12
- Daughter: age 15
- Sons: age 12
These were the top gifts they wanted for Christmas this year.
Because my polling was done fro kids ages 8-12, this list mostly includes gifts for preteens and teens, however there are some items on here that are suitable for younger and older ages.
Smithsonian Institute
Space! The Universe as You’ve Never Seen it Before
My kids LOVE this book! It’s full of incredible pictures and lays the text out in an easy to comprehend way that my kids can enjoy. I like the idea of my kids enjoying educational books and yours can too!

Kendra Scott is an incredible brand! Their necklaces are high quality at a fair price. TIP: They give a 50% discount during your birthday month when you sign up for their rewards.

LED’s in bedrooms are a huge hit now. I’ve suggested 2 different kinds in this post, these hexa lights being the first. These are so cool, they can be controlled via bluetooth adding a cool vibe to your kids room.

Apple
Airpods (3rd Generation)
Airpods are always a great gift idea. I really do recommend getting the actual Apple airpods instead of a knockoff. We’ve done generic brands before and they just don’t last. I’ve never had issues with the Apple brand.

Sanori
Hello Kitty Plush Toys
Hello Kitty has made a comeback. These plushes are a cute fun gift for the Hello Kitty lover.

Marvel Infinity Gauntlet

Smart LED Strip Lights
These are the other LED lights I’d recommend. My kids got them last year and loved them!

Xbox
Video Game Console
For those with gaming kiddos, this was the console my family recommended and best pick.

Silverback
In-Ground Basketball Hoop
Super great quality! This one goes in-ground so it should last longer than the plastic hoops that use weighted bases.

Marucci Cat9
Metal Baseball Bat
This was the bat my nephews really badly wanted.

Star Wars
Talking Darth Vader Clapper
I promise the kids will eventually get some sleep after they exhaust every voice command on this clapping light. So worth it, they’ll love it!
