The following are five of our top favorite gifts for older kids.

  1. Fan Favorite – We polled our readers and the Table Top Air Hockey game received the most votes. It’s easy to imagine this being the whole family’s favorite gift. It would even be a fun one for older kids to take back to college. The Air Hockey game has a high output fan which gives the game an arcade-like feel. It’s compact and portable and even has a satisfaction guarantee.
  2. Scottsdale Moms Blog Writers’ Favorite – We polled our writers and the winner was the classic Game of Life. During the game, you and your family will make choices as Life presents you with different options. You may be surprised to see how your kids choose their paths!
  3. Perfect for Any Older Kid Apples to Apples Junior is a great option for any kid who can read. The hilarious comparisons will be fun for family game night or if your older kid is having some friends over.
  4. Best Splurge Gift Apple AirPods are a splurge at nearly $200, but if you have a pre-teen who’s all about their music, this could be the perfect gift. The AirPods even charge conveniently in the storage case.
  5. Best Gift Under $10 – If your kids are missing their friends over winter break and are always “bored,” Melissa and Doug’s Friendship Bracelet Set is a great option without breaking the bank. (Amazon prices may vary by the minute.)
