When it comes to Christmas, kids and teens are typically the easiest family members to buy for. More often than not, they have their list for Santa (or their parents) penned weeks before the big day arrives.
But, after making their lists and checking them twice, we usually discover they’re overflowing with the latest gadgets and toys that’ll only hold their attention until New Year’s Day.
There are plenty of out-of-the-box gifts and unique ideas however, that are sure to delight and stand the test of time. We’re talking about the kinds of gifts that are creative, inspiring and even make memories that will last forever.
We’ve rounded up some of the best, promising all that and more.
