Gifts For Kids

I am often amazed at how addicted my boys can get to something they see on television. They don’t mind seeing the same shows over and over again, and new episodes are a cause for celebration. On Ron’s birthday, the most frequently used of all the gifts were the DVD’s featuring his favorite television shows.

Here are the most popular choices on Amazon.com. I picked these up from their list of TV best-sellers in the family category. It took a while finding the ones that are actually for kids, and younger kids at that, not teenagers, but here are the results - great gifts for any kid of the right age -

1. The Smurfs - Season One, Vol. One

It was great to see this classic so high up on the charts! I loved the Smurfs as a kid, and my kids love them today, so truly a classic.

2. Justice League - The New Frontier (Two-Disc Special Edition)

There is no doubt in my mind that for my two boys, this one should be in #1. They absolutely love watching anything related to super-heroes, so the Justice League is just the best thing ever for them.

3. Schoolhouse Rock! (Special 30th Anniversary Edition)

Another classic of the 70’s and 80’s. A great way to have kids learn something while staring at the screen!

4. Looney Tunes - Golden Collection, Volume One

5. Looney Tunes - Golden Collection, Volume Two

Well, not much else to say about Looney Tunes - a classic for the entire family, as they say. Personally, I stay out of the room when they play that DVD, but my Dad loves them, so the kids get to watch them with Grandpa!
