When you are 12, almost anything makes you happy. So it is easy to find fun Christmas gifts to make a 12-year-old boy and girl happy.
A great gift might be a colorful kite ... a ring, necklace, or bracelet that light up ... a trampoline that lets you jump higher than ever ... a set of drums ... or a digital camera.
Most 12-year-olds like to learn new skills so a few months of lessons on the electric guitar or the piano might be a thrill.
In the meantime, though, let us look more closely at a few fun Christmas gifts to make your job of shopping easier.
Heelys - Heelys are athletic shoes with a wheel in the heel. Zip down the sidewalk along with your friends. You can run errands in half the time. And, if you have a paper route, your job becomes a cinch. To use Heelys, you need to wear a padded helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist guards.
Power Zoom Binoculars - Your favorite 12-year-old will be able to go bird watching, see the baseball game up close, and check out the sights on a car trip or on vacation. Some excellent binoculars are 10X30X60 power zoom with a ruby lens.
Inline Skates - To help that 12-year-old become a skating ace, get him or her inline trainer skates that convert to regular inline skates. Other equipment needed for inline skating include a padded helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist guards.
Pinball War Games - This standing game table rocks and rolls with flashing lights and dinging sounds. It has dual LCD scoring and drop pockets. This game switches from a game for two players to a game for one. Every member of the family will enjoy taking turns at this pinball game.
