Holiday Gifts for Son (2026)
By the holidays your son has probably changed his wish list three times, so the safest gifts are the ones that get him playing, building or outside. The WOV Racing 1:9 scale R/C 4X4 Monster Truck from Buddy RC ($261) arrives fully assembled for backyard bashing. If he is always sketching, Pixicade+ ($34.99) turns his drawings into playable video games in minutes. Gamers will put the Hexgaming Make Your Own NEW EDGE Controller ($129.99) to work, since he gets to pick the design and feel.
For the whole family, the Aotob 14ft Trampoline with Safety Net & Ladder ($329.99) is big enough for everyone to bounce. Older kids will use the Riderbag Xtreme 30L Tactical Backpack ($99.95) for gym, school and trail gear. Prices run from $39.99 to $365, and every pick comes from a brand we've researched.
