Retro Light Bright
$12.99.
Yes, this gift was totally inspired by memories of our youth. It happens to be that now our kids are loving it too. We have multiple boards so it’s an activity kids can do together or with friends, and extra pegs are always wanted. Note that if you want the best value, buy the Classic Board (204 pegs) rather than the Ultimate or Bonus (240/326 pegs) and get extra pegs separately. The updated HD mini Lite Brites (different pegs) seems cool but we haven’t tried that version.

KidiZoom Print Cam
$55.
Ok, so hear out this pic. When deciding whether to perhaps gift an Instax or the highly regarded and well-priced Kodak Printomatic, we realized that we didn’t want to have to limit the amount the younger kids get to shoot and print–and staying stocked up on pricey photo paper wasn’t practical. For that, you need to go with an Instant Print Camera that has a thermal printer like this one. We’re featuring the Vtech version in our Gift Guide because it’s a reputable brand.
