1. For Kids Who Like Projects: Kiwi Crate
A Kiwi Crate Subscription is a gift that keeps on giving for very long after the excitement and the vacations of the Holidays has ended. Whether you have a toddler or a teenager, Kiwi has a box that is designed especially for them. While pre-readers will have to get some adult assistance to follow the instructions, the projects that are packed in each box are very fun, creative, and educational. My youngsters loved their recent human body-themed Kiwi crate and had so much fun with it.

The reason is that you can rev-up their wheels and race them around the house. The set includes a school bus, private car, fire truck, and police car. Our editors are big fans of it, because it goes fast, doesn’t make a lot of fuss, and doesn’t damage the house’ walls or furniture.
