Top 5 Christmas Gifts for Boys
1) Coordination Game - Original

This balance toy was created as a rehabilitative tool to help hone fine motor skills—and it does it in the most fun and challenging way. The objective? Neatly stack the disks. That might sound simple, but it takes concentration and coordination to get the unpredictable, rotating magnetic beech wood discs to line up just right.
2) Roll Up Portable 22 Bar Xylophone

Rock out anywhere you go with this unique 22 bar xylophone. It's equipped with record and playback functions, 7 different tones, a built-in speaker, and a tutorial mode so you can play along with the demo songs. It's also made of flexible silicone rubber, so when the performance is over, you can simply roll it up pack it away in your bag.
3) Reeljuice Power Bank + USB Charger

Power a device up to five times—at more than double the speed—with this rapid, portable USB charger. Reeljuice is equipped with interchangeable tips and a four foot cord you can stretch to your liking, then tug to retract. Its pass-through feature lets you charge your device as you charge the Reeljuice up for your next power boost, too.
4) Rechargeable LED Poi Balls

Not only is this outdoor kid’s toy a spectacle of light, it’s also a great exercise of your coordination and dexterity. The Poi dance traces all the way back to the Maori people in New Zealand. It involves swinging soft LED weights rhythmically to create geometric patterns. This version is lighter and brighter, which is great for beginners of all ages. Start with simple movements and as you try to master more complicated ones, you’ll build flexibility and creativity.
