Top 5 Christmas Gifts for Boys
1) Twister Tubes Flexible Neon Tracks

Add on more cars that work with the Twister Tubes Flexible Neon Tracks. Each rechargeable car is equipped with black lights that leave a glow trace on the track. Dim the lights for a glowingly fun effect.
2) Roto Brain 3D Puzzle Sphere

The Roto Brain 3D Puzzle Sphere is the ultimate brainteaser that offers vast possibilities and endless fun. By challenging you to unlock the code to one of its thousands of color combinations, Roto Brain will train your memory and critical thinking skills while testing your IQ.
3) Fast-Paced Puzzle Game

Build a maze as fast as you can—the trickier the better—because your opponents have to navigate it. In this fast-paced, fun game, players build mazes with foam shapes on magnetic boards and swap with the competition. Use logic, speed, and engineering skills to stump the other players. Whoever gets through the end—and back—first wins.
4) Toddler Balance Bike

Globber: Toddler Balance Bike - Green
5) Kids Blue Light Blocking Glasses

Too much screen time for little eyes? Try a pair of blue light blocking glasses for kids. The flexible, playtime-friendly specs have polycarbonate lenses that block up to 35% of HEV—aka blue—light from a phone, tablet, or computer screen that can cause eye fatigue, headaches, and disrupt sleep. These glasses also block 100% UVA and UVB rays for even more eye protection.
