Christmas Gifts for Kids (2026)
Christmas morning with kids moves fast, and the gifts that win are the ones that work before breakfast is over. The Makeblock mBot ($69.99) is a robot kit they build and then program, the Redcat Ascent-18 rock crawler ($129.99) comes ready to run with radio, battery and charger, and the Funphix Fort 154 Pc Set ($143.09) turns the living room into a glow-in-the-dark hideout by evening.
For a gamer, the EasySMX S10 Gaming Controller for Switch 2 ($59.99) has drift resistant TMR sticks and HD rumble, which also makes it a smart second-player controller for siblings. Budget picks start at $32.99 with the Let's Resin Dumpling Squishy Making All-in-one Kit, and the top of the list is the Aotob 15 ft Outdoor Trampoline ($359.99) with a basketball hoop, a gift the whole family will use once the weather warms up. Every pick comes from a brand we've researched.
