Finding a gift that kids actually like is tricky. This guide makes it easier.

The "It's an avocado! Thanks!" kid might make it look easy, but finding the perfect gift for a kid might just be harder than shopping for an adult. Kids can be particular. The things kids like change not just with age, but with evolving trends from TV shows and new technology... and TikTok. If parents are lucky enough, their kid will provide a long and precise list of items they'd like as gifts — but sometimes, it can be as much of a crapshoot as gifting to someone else's kid. (That's when handing the parents some cash to find a present themselves starts to sound better and better.)
