On Black Friday season, parents usually buy Christmas gifts for their children. Are you also going to buy Christmas gifts for your child? There are many references appear in the internet that give the recommendations of Christmas toys. Some of these references use attractive words such as: “This is the hottest toys”, “This is the most recommended toys”, or “This is one of the best sellers”. Actually, you should not be too concerned with those words. That’s just marketing techniques. You better give your child a suitable Christmas gift for them. You should consider several factors such as age and gender of your child. Therefore, I want to give Christmas gifts recommendation that divided into 5 categories:

1. For boys and girls aged 3 years and up

Christmas gift that is suitable for this category is Fisher Price Dance Star Mickey. The Mickey Mouse character is favorites by both boys and girls. So, I’m sure there will be no problem if you give this gift to the sons or your daughters. Why Dance Star Mickey recommended? This toy has a very interesting feature: Dancing. Mickey can dance with six different styles, including the moonwalk. This toy also comes with an attractive game.

2. For boys aged 3 years and up

Christmas gift that is suitable for boys around 3 years old and up is Stinky the Garbage Truck. These toys are designed by experts from Mattel. Boys will not be bored playing with Stinky, because he was able to talk, sing, and tell jokes with 90 different types of sentences. In fact, even I ever found a review from adults who buy Stinky for himself. That is awesome, right?

3. For girls aged 3 years and up

Girls tend to prefer toys that are funny and adorable. Usually the parents give their daughters a doll. So my recommendation for this category is Sing a-ma-jigs or Zhu Zhu Pet hamsters. If your daughter is a dog lover, I recommend FurReal GoGo My Walkin’ Pup. Your daughter would be happy to receive it.

4. For teens

If your child has entered adolescence, I recommend PlayStation Move or Kinect as their Christmas gifts. If you do not want to buy them video games console, the other alternative is to give them a BMX bike or a digital camera.

5. Educational toys

If you decide to choose educational toys, then my recommendation is to Fisher Price iXL and VTech Vreader. Both these educational toys will help your children become smarter. VTech Vreader focus more on teaching how to read and memorize vocabulary, while iXL Learning System helps your child learn to draw and recognize numbers. Both these educational toys have a blue and pink color options. Even at iXL, you can choose silver color. So, just choose according to your child’s favorite color.
