Top 5 Christmas Gifts for Boys
1) Rechargeable LED Poi Balls

Not only is this outdoor kid’s toy a spectacle of light, it’s also a great exercise of your coordination and dexterity. The Poi dance traces all the way back to the Maori people in New Zealand. It involves swinging soft LED weights rhythmically to create geometric patterns. This version is lighter and brighter, which is great for beginners of all ages. Start with simple movements and as you try to master more complicated ones, you’ll build flexibility and creativity.
2) Light-Up Air Hover Soccer Game

HearthSong: Light-Up Air Hover Soccer Game
3) DayDreamimal™ Comfort Animal Keychains

Your child can carry their hopes and dreams with them during the day. These comforting creatures encourage positive thinking in children. Just write down hopes, dreams, and aspirations on a blank "daydream wishes" card and place the card into the keychain so they can carry their dreams with them always.
4) Kickable Birdie Game Set

The Kickable Birdie Game Set is where soccer meets badminton. The shuttlecock is engineered to be slower in the air and easy to kick so you can spend more time playing, having fun, learning tricks, and competing and less time picking it up off the ground. The full set includes a net with rust-resistant painted steel poles, a shoulder-carry bag for easy transport, and gameplay instructions.
5) Wooden Tabletop Penny Hockey Game

Shoot and score with this penny hockey table game. All you need to play is a finger that’s ready to flick and a penny that acts as the hockey puck. The wooden game board is handcrafted in Missouri and is made with the mission to bring families together for a nostalgic (and fun) screen-free game night.
