Top Picks
Basketball Hoop + Smart Ball
A brand-new basketball hoop is a classic, crowd-pleasing gift for sporty kids.
Spalding's latest portable basketball hoop—the Momentous EZ Assembly hoop—takes the frustration out of assembly, thanks to a 30-minute (or less!) set-up.
The brand also has a new DNA Smart Basketball, which connects to an app and helps your little hoopster perfect their shot with real-time feedback.
With over 190 data points tracked for every shot, the app also includes games and challenges and connects to other players across the globe.
Movie Night Box
This DIY gift is a hit in our household, year after year.
Simply fill up a box with microwave popcorn and your child's favorite candy (we love stocking up at Walgreens when they have their never-ending candy-aisle deals). Include a coupon or promise for a "movie night" at home and watch their smile light up.
After all, cozy quality time is the best present of all.
(If microwave popcorn isn't your thing, Target also has a fun Movie Night popcorn box for stovetop options).
