Christmas gift ideas for kids are priceless this time of year π
Especially gifts that will stand the test of time and aren’t yet another tech device that isolates the player from others.
Wondering what to get for the kids on your list?
Want something new and fun?
My grandson Ethan is crazy about his Kendama.
What the heck is a Kendama?
It’s an awesome gift idea for Christmas! And it’s much more challenging than it appears. It comes in lots of colors, but the cool thing is that it has 3 different, capture spaces for the wooden ball and each has its own degree of difficulty because of its size and how the player ‘flips’ the ball to try to get it in the cup.

A 2025 Update on Christmas Gift Ideas for Kids
πππ I cracked up Christmas morning when I saw that my grandson Ethan, now in his 20’s, gave his nephew a Kendama for Christmas! Now that’s validation of a gifts’ real potential.
After years Ethan still has several Kendama on his dresser and he says he often picks one up for a few minutes just to see if he’s still got the skills he honed years ago. He and his friend Luke had their own tournaments and tons of fun with these toys when they were young boys.
Not many gifts can stand the test of time. This one is a winner!
