One of my most requested gift guides this year was for the bigger kids. As kids get older, their gifts tend to get more expensive and they get harder to shop for and ask for really expensive gifts, like a pair of Yeezy's (insert eye roll).


I've rounded up a list of gifts that my kids have asked for or gifts that they've loved over the years and some gifts that I would actually enjoy myself. As for the girls, it was all a guessing game but I think any teen girl would love to receive any of these gifts, I know I would. There are a lot of great Black Friday sales that have already started like the Xbox, it is $150 off right now and you also get an e-gift card with your purchase. A lot of these items have been selling out so I will try and keep these updated through the holidays.

For the girls:

The ultimate gift guide for the boys! As a boy mom a lot of these items have been requested by my 11 and 8 year old boys and some well love and tested in our household. 

SCRATCH OFF MAP: Such a cool idea for those little travelers

ICE MAGNATILES: My kids whoa re 8 and 11 still play with these. They also come in a new glow in the dark version too.

GRONK FOOTBALL: This has a built in speaker so they can listen to  tunes while playing catch with their friends

JETSON SCOOTER: This electric scooter has a little LCD screen that shows your speed and battery life and an LED laser beam light

GARMIN VIVOFIT JR: kids will have a blast taking on challenges and adventures, and parents will appreciate the convenience of assigning chores and rewards

APP CONTROLLED FIDGET SPINNER: Meet the high tech fidget spinner. Play games, challenges and more in the app

BALLOON DOG NIGHT LIGHTS: A nightime guard dog...in balloon form

STAR WARS LEGOS: With the release of the new Star Wars movie mid December these legos are sure to be hit. This one has a rotating head and an opening hatch which makes it even cooler but beware Dads....it's 1106 pieces! 

RIVAL NERF GUN: What parent doesn't love picking up nerf darts all day? The boys love playing nerf gun wars in the neighborhood and add the matching protective goggles and mask. 

VINEYARD VINES FLEECE: They'll be most excited about this gift for sure, ha! Although they'll thank you when they're nice and warm. 

BIKE: Fat tire bike to ride through town and the woods

MAGNETIC TABLET: Fun little gift to travel with and it's also relaxing to play with these

KLASK BOARD GAME: I saw a friends video on insta with her sons playing this game and it looked like so much fun. 

NINTENDO SWITCH: A video game console that turns into a handheld device too with games like Zelda and Mario Kart. This was basically sold out since last Christmas and I've seen a lot of places stocked but they're selling out quickly so you may want to grab this soon if you've had your eyes on it. 

YOGIBO BEAN BAG: My kids lounged on these in the store last year and after not wanting to spend the money I got a cheaper version which came apart in a couple months. Lesson learned. I polled friends on facebook about this one and majority said their kids and husbands loved these! 

LASER TAG GAME: This is a HOT toy! If you belong to Costco we found the double one for $38 The neighborhood kids are all getting these too!
