Top 5 Christmas Gifts for Boys
1) Golden Spoons Mission to Mars Card Game
Golden Spoons is an out-of-this-world take on the classic Spoons card game. It's a race to Mars as you pass space-themed playing cards around in a fast-paced manner in order to be the first to match four cards, snatch your token, and complete your mission. Be fast or wind up empty-handed.
2) Smartphone Enabled Kids' Camera
Budding photographers can get snap-happy with this smartphone case that turns the phone into a camera just for kids. The classic point-and-shoot design protects the phone while letting kids access its camera function. Plug the phone into the case and connect to the app, and let the little photogs take it from there—they can even edit shots and explore photography-themed play, too.
