Christmas Gift Guide: Everything Your Kid absolutely needs under their tree!
1) Mip: This is the "toy" that is good for both older kids and adults which is why I put it as number one on the list. This little guy is a engineering masterpiece, being able to move about the room with ease on two wheels. He can carry his own weight, and gets himself out of the most precarious situations, avoiding or getting out of obstacles around your living room floor! There is a great app that lets you control him, as well as play games. He has a great personality and will keep your kids occupied for hours on end, as well as a robot loving adult!
