Portable Pickleball Set with Net
A family that plays pickleball together stays together.
Know a family that could go for strengthening its bond over a game of viciously whacking whiffle balls at each other? Then this Portable Pickleball Set with Net is perfect for them and one of our best gifts for families this Christmas.

KLASK: The Magnetic Award-Winning Party Game of Skill – for Kids and Adults of All Ages That’s Half Foosball, Half Air Hockey
Games don’t have to be complicated to be fun, and with 500,000 games sold KLASK proves that simple games can be the best games. Invented in Denmark, KLASK is almost a Scandanavian take on air hockey, except ditch the electronics for magnets and you have a smaller table top version that can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere. All you need is two players and 10 minutes, but I guarantee those 10 minutes will spur countless rematches and tournaments.
KLASK may be made for players 8 and up, but I promise everyone in the whole family will be eagerly waiting for their turn to battle it out.
Amazon Review: Super fun game – I stumbled upon this on YouTube and was instantly hooked. Had to get it for the family. It’s been a lot of fun. I would recommend as a gift or for yourself, or a gift for yourself. It’s worth it.

Amazon Review: LEGO boost is 80% of the learning at 50% of the cost and 20% of the hassle of LEGO’s fancier Mindstorms product.

Christmas 2024 Gifts for Families – Crafty DIY’ers Gifts
Bird House + Camera
I don’t have a particular product in mind, but building a birdhouse as a family DIY project can be both fun and educational. You can make it even more exciting by adding a camera inside, allowing the kids to observe birds up close and see how they behave. It’s a wonderful way to spend time together, encouraging kids to use their hands and imagination while learning about the wildlife right in their own backyard.

There are plenty of companies that offer this type of experience, but I highlighted this one because they seem to have locations all over the USA.

If you have a friend or family on your gift list that is adventurous, this would be a great gift for them. This is one of the best sets of hook and loop straps we’ve seen. They can keep all their gear organized and secure – they’ll appreciate this gift year-round.
Amazon Review: “I was honestly surprised by how high-quality these Lariat Brand straps are. They’re much stronger and more durable than I expected, and they feel like they’ll last a long time. What I love most is their versatility—I’ve already used them to organize tools in my garage, in my shed, and even manage cords and cables around the house.”

Amazon Review: I bought this for my sons 13th birthday. I didn’t know what the weather was going to be like and wanted to have inside games just in case it rained. The kids really enjoyed many of the games – stack dice with chopsticks, stack cups while doing planks, and trying to knock over pyramid of cups with rubber band. There are lots of games to choose from but we only used 5-6 since it was a beautiful day and kids wanted to play basketball and kickball. Thanksgiving is around the corner so we will take this with us to play with family. Happy with my purchase.
