Move over play kitchens, play food trucks are even trendier and this Our Generation Grill to Go Food Truck comes with a comprehensive set of play food, utensils, and prep items to keep the little one in your life busy for hours.

If you’d like to get everyone outside on Christmas morning, this Zing Air Hyperstrike Bow is a great way to challenge everyone in the family to see who can hit the targets or shoot the farthest. The bow comes with four arrows that can fly up to 250 feet and kids love the whistling sound of the arrows. While the suggested age is 14+, younger children will be able to shoot the bow with help (even my 7-year-old daughter loves this gift!).
Glitter Star Tule Dress by Rockets of Awesome, $49.50
For the child in your life who loves dressing up, this Glitter Star Tule Dress by Rockets of Awesome is guaranteed to bring smiles. The all-over tule and the sparkles are the perfect combination to stand out in a world of more simple tutus.

Remember the marble runs of your childhood? Now they’re more compact and offer more of a brain tease. This Gravity Maze Marble Run by ThinkFun is available on Amazon with Prime delivery and will challenge the kids in your life to use their minds to solve puzzles. Designed for children ages 8 and up, you might just find yourself wanting to try this one out, too. And, bonus, it can be played alone!
Rollplay 6V Flex Kart Powered Ride-On, $119.99
If Power Wheels appeal but the price and/or size doesn’t, this Rollplay 6V Flex Kart Powered Ride-On offers a good compromise. It folds up to fit in smaller spaces than a traditional powered ride-on and also comes with a reasonable price tag. And, while the 2MPH maximum speed isn’t overwhelming, it is perfect for riders ages 2 to 5.
Air Jordan 1 Mid SE Basketball Sneaker, $50-$95
Depending on the kid, a new pair of basketball shoes might just be the perfect gift. These Air Jordan 1 Mid SE Basketball Sneakers come in two color combinations that appeal to boys and girls alike. And, they’re a brand new style for those kids who want to have the newest kicks at school or on the court.
Present Pets - Rainbow Fairy, $43.99
Surprise toys are still a thing and these cute Rainbow Fairy Present Pets unbox themselves for extra excitement. Once out of the box, the pups play barking games that are sure to delight your gift recipients (and possibly annoy parents, but that’s okay!). The dogs also come with tule skirts, crowns, and fairy wings.
COSTWAY Jumbo 4-to-Score Giant Game Set, $109
Sometimes the sheer size of a gift is what gets kids shrieking with delight – and this 4-to-Score game will get the whole family in on the fun. With free shipping on Amazon, this game should arrive quickly — which is good news for anyone finishing up their last minute shopping. And, if the kids in your life have outdoor space, this is something that can live outside (another big selling point for parents!).
