Holiday gifts for kids seem to fall into two categories: What they want, like bikes, games and devices they’re going to lose by January, and what they need, like socks, a new coat and a pair of gloves that are also going to be lost soon in the same place where they left that expensive device.
This year, I suggest Jedi mind-tricking them with stuff they need, disguised as stuff they want, the gift equivalent of those tater tots made with vegetables.
Here’s a list of locally based treasures they’ll actually want, and you’ll have the secret satisfaction of knowing you made the children a little smarter. Whether they want to be or not.
