2016 Kids Holiday Gift Guide
Game Truck
Party Game Express helped us become parent of the year, as far as your kids are concerned, a party with Party Game Express is how to make that happen. This 32 foot mobile video game theater has all the latest games for Wii, WiiU, and XBox. It comfortably accommodates up to 24-50 people at the same time. Several packages are available to fit any price range. My favorite part, everything takes place on the truck so I’m left with zero party mess in my house. This is sure to be a BIG hit for your next birthday party, family reunion, graduation party or just for fun.
Fujifilm Instax Mini 8
This great camera is auto flash and focus free. Take bold, vibrant pictures, even in low lighting. Automatically determines the best brightness and suitable setting by lighting the corresponding mode (Indoors, Cloudy, Sunny, Very Sunny). This would make a great activity for creative expression for younger kids, and adult kids alike. In a world of all digital, my kids have loved getting an actual photo to share with friends.Cozmo

D. Wade’s Get It Hoops
This toy is a lifesaver on yucky weather days when the kids are stuck indoors. The included app communicates wirelessly with the hoop to keep score and record playbacks. This is not the usual indoor basketball hoop. My boys really like that they can play arcade style, solo, one on one or full court. This is available at most toy stores and, of course, Amazon.com.

Discovery Kids Foldable Tent
Saving the best for last! I have 2 girls and they can’t get enough of this! My older daughter babysits quite a bit and ever since we got this tent the whole babysitting time is spent playing and having tea parties inside. Your little one’s imagination will run wild while playing in this foldable tent. This cute piece is made with durable wood poles to sustain all of their imaginative play for years of use. Great for indoor or yard use. Best thing is that it is available at Toys R Us, Belk, Kohl’s – so right in your neighborhood (or just a click away).
