Board games, 3D pens, and more toys that make great gifts *wink wink*.
Promising review: "I remember having this game as a kid and understanding how it was a good game to learn how to play games, just didn't understand the candy appeal part since they looked terrible. Honestly, they've done a good job of updating the game and graphics so that it reflects more of the sweets we actually eat, and current princess and fairy designs that my 7-year-old daughter likes. She loves the game. Nice job!" —Crisis Doc
Price: $8.99 (originally $11.99).
Kit comes with pen, 15 plastic refills, and a stencil book to help you get started.
Promising review: "This pen is SUPER COOL!!! My tweens are loving it! I actually am having fun with it too! I thought it is like a magical crayon!!! It is easy to use and you can create endless creations. You don't have to be an "artist" to use. You just have to have a great imagination! Has kept my daughters entertained for hours. So happy with the purchases. Bought one for each of my daughters. Would recommend to anyone." —Whoopie Pie
Price: $47.99 (originally $79.99).

Promising review: "Some items you purchase like this, come in a hard plastic clam, or in a box – but this one comes with a plastic carrying case (with handle) that can store the Potato Head when it's not in use!!!! I love this!!! We all know you're supposed to be able to store all of the loose parts inside the toy... but how nice is it, that when the kids aren't playing with it, it can be stored away in its own case!? Maybe I'm too excited about this haha, but great purchase nonetheless." —Alex Soper
Price: $13.99 (originally $19.99).
Kit includes nail salon and dryer, eight pattern pods, four nail polishes, and a top coat!
Promising review: "Best gift for my 4-year-old who loves getting manis and pedis! She loves this thing! The instructions were very easy to understand and follow. It’s very easy to use and the nails turn out really cute. Make sure to press down hard to get the stamps to be clear and not smudge. The little dryer was an awesome addition, made it even easier and it doesn’t take too long for a little girl’s patience. This was a great gift!" —ashtyn828
Price: $24.49 (originally $34.99).
Playset comes with tower and two racing vehicles. If they want a few more, you can grab them here.
Promising review: "I was very surprised to see how durable this is. The instructions and numbering of the parts make this very easy to assemble. Once you get through the first page, you understand how it's designed and you can finish the rest without instructions. Cars are cast aluminum and heavy plastic. very weighty and solid." — Ron A. Romero
