The holidays are just around the corner, which means that a holiday gift guide featuring some last-minute gifts for the kids in your life is all but essential.
But, never fear — 21Ninety’s got you covered!
Make sure the boxes don’t get more attention than the gifts with these toys from Amazon — our holiday gift guide is perfect for all the children in your life!
Children make the holidays. Their innocence, wonder, and excitement around the holiday season make the season special for the adults who have long since been hardened and jaded.
But as any parent knows, the stakes are high with little ones. You want them to continue to regard this time of year as magical. And that means getting them gifts that won’t have them looking at you crazy or questioning whether Santa Claus is real or not.
And further, as any parent also knows, children are impatient little creatures — they certainly don’t want to hear anything about “shipping delays” or “supply chain issues.”
We feel you. And we’ve got you covered.
So if you’re looking for a way to be a hero without donning the Black Panther suit (RIP to Chadwick Boseman, though), consider ordering these last-minute toys from Amazon, get them delivered on time, and end up being the hero.
1. Karma’s World Toy Playset
Today’s kids might not know anything about Ludacris’ music. But they might have heard of his children’s programming. Karma’s World has been so successful on Netflix that they created a line of toys for the show’s fans. If you have a little one who loves this show and is into acting out elaborate moments with their toys this playset would be perfect.
2. Toddler Playhouse
When you have a toddler, the key to keeping them happy is finding ways for them to move around. Now that it’s the wintertime, the outdoors might not be an option like it was during other times of the year. So parents have to get creative. This play house is a perfect addition to the crib. This one includes a tunnel and ball pit. You might want to get in there with your grown self.
3. Rocking Flamingo
Every nursery needs a rocking toy. But if you’re into breaking from tradition, why not add a rocking flamingo? This is the perfect toy because it grows with the child. During infancy it’s a precious decoration. But by the time the child is a toddler onward, it will get quite a bit of use. And once they’re done using it, it can be a sweet keepsake for mom and dad.
4. Whoobli Ninja and Target Inflatable Kids Punching Bag
One of my favorite toys from childhood was a Ninja Turtle punching bag. I spent countless minutes kicking, punching and smacking that thing only for it to spring back up. It’s great for hyper-active kids who need to expend some energy.
5. Black History Flash Card Deck
We already know that the American school system is not going to teach Black children about their history. Sadly, what most of us get is slavery and then a lesson about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. If you’re the type of person who wants to make sure the kids are rooted in their history, this trivia game would be a great gift. And you just might learn something as well.
6. Coding Starter Kit
I wish our generation knew just how much of a role coding would play in the world in which we live. If we did–and if our parents did– perhaps they would have equipped us with the toys to help us learn the skills to parlay that into a lucrative skill or at least a fun hobby. If you’re raising or nurturing a little STEM baby, check out this toy.
7. Wakanda Forever 11.5″ Fashion Dolls Nakia
Is the child in your life a citizen of Wakanda? Who among us isn’t? But if you have pre-teen or teenager who doesn’t exactly play with dolls but collects them and would like to have a badass warrior like Nakia on her shelf, put Miss Nakia in your cart and make it happen.
