From creative kits to outdoor gear, there’s something here for every kind of kid.

A really fun gift for boys!

2. Nerf Gun and extra bullets

Do boys ever outgrow nerf guns? All the men in my house love them. I recommend including extra bullets and protective eye gear.

3. Rocket Balloons

This is an entertaining toy for all ages. The set comes with 100 long balloons and a pumper. You or your kids can blow up the balloons and watch them fly around the room and do tricks. Great for cold days when you are stuck inside. Again, NO batteries required and the balloons can be re-used once or twice.

You can’t go wrong with a jersey from their favorite team!

5. Megablocks for littles (1-5) or Legos for bigs (6-12)

6. Hat

Clark loved this Cowboys hat he got for his birthday and Luke loved receiving his first Waggle hat as a birthday gift!

7. RC Car

My boys, young and old, love their remote control cars.

8. Any ball – soccer/Kickball/football

You can never go wrong with ANY type of ball for a boy.

9. Plasma Car

This bike gets used more than any other in our home.

10. Ride on Car

Great for ages 2-8. I avoided ride-on cars for so long because I want my kids to RUN and burn energy. However, we were given one, and my boys have loved it, and so do all their friends.
