The cards are printed on heavy-duty card stock coated on both sides, and it comes with a 52 card-deck plus two jokers. These large playing cards will make any card game more fun, plus it might get them to have to move around a bit while they’re playing.
68. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Legacy Communicator
With the new Power Rangers movie coming out soon, the popularity of the colorful heroes will soon skyrocket. Whether they love the blue ranger or the pink ranger, this Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Legacy Communicator is a great accessory. It features lights and sounds from the original series, and it has interchangeable color bands so that they can “morph” into their favorite ranger (Note: no real morphing occurs. Your children are safe).
69. Harry Potter Hermione Granger’s Wand in Ollivander’s Box
Harry Potter fans were given some new stuff, too, as Harry Potter and the Cursed Child released earlier this year. If they’re truly into the wizarding world of Harry Potter and fantasy stuff, check out this Hermione Granger’s Wand in Ollivander’s Box replica. It’s an exact 1:1 scale reproduction of the one from the Harry Potter films (inspired by the books, of course), measuring 15 inches in length. It comes with a collector’s box as well.

71. DC Super Hero Girls 12″ Action Dolls
There’s no denying that both Marvel and DC are making a push to bring their female superheroes to the forefront of their movie universe. We saw it first with DC’s latest big blockbuster movie, Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, which introduced Wonder Woman into the movie universe. Of course, there’s also Supergirl’s explosion in popularity to consider, thanks to CBS’s series. To capitalize on their big push behind their female heroes, they’ve teamed up with Mattel for DC Super Hero Girls Action Dolls, like the Wonder Woman doll or Batgirl doll. They stand at 12 inches tall, and they look great.
72. My Little Pony Guardians of Harmony Princess Celestia
It’d be tough to talk about potential Christmas toys without talking about My Little Pony. and one of the best new MLP toys is this 8-inch figure of Princess Celestia. The attention to detail is stunning, and the figure would make a great addition to any fan’s collection of My Little Pony toys.
73. The Bridge Direct Paper Plane Launcher
Kids have always been drawn to paper planes — they’re the instant toy that can be made virtually everywhere. But cooler than just building paper planes is launching them, which is why The Bridge Direct has created this Skypaper Paper Plane Launcher that not only comes with 24 do-it-yourself planes (with instructions) but also a high-velocity launcher that blasts planes up to 100 feet. Boys and girls alike from ages 8-12 will appreciate this (not to mention it’s great for office warfare).
74. Imploding Kittens (Exploding Kittens’ First Expansion)
Exploding Kittens exploded in popularity last year (sorry, I had to), and in October, its first expansion, properly named Imploding Kittens. will hit toy stores and online shops around the globe. The expansion kit will include 20 new cards illustrated by its creators, expanding the core deck from 5 to 6 players. What’s more, there’s a “super secret” surprise inside every box — there’s no telling what’s in there! The game is recommended for ages 7+, and it’s a card game that you’ll actually have fun playing with your children (you won’t have to feign excitement). It requires a copy of Exploding Kittens to play.
75. JVOPIN Building Blocks Set
All children are interested in building things with their hands, so it’s essential that they have the best building toys at their disposal to fuel their creativity. This JVOPIN building blocks set comes with 40 pieces (two different shapes and five different colors). These bright and colorful blocks are intended to develop your children’s color cognitive ability. They’ll learn and have fun simultaneously. We recommend buying two sets so that there are more pieces than they know what to do with.
76. Giant Unicorn Inflatable Pool Float
Sure, there are tons of silly pool floats out there that would make your little girl happy, but this Giant Unicorn Float is one of the most joy-inducing creations available. It measures in at 108 inches x 55 inches x 47 inches, and it can hold over 400 pounds. It’s designed for two adults, but numerous kids can sit on it at once. It’s made of raft-grade material that’s soft but durable, and its cutesy unicorn design will fuel their imagination. They’ll have their own mystical beast in the pool!
77. Playmags 100-Piece Clear Colors Magnetic Tiles Deluxe Building Set
Another great building set for girls and boys alike is this Playmags Magnetic Tiles Building Set. It’s currently the best-selling magnet toy on Amazon, holding an impressive 4.7 out of 5.0 star rating from 475 customer reviews. It’s recommended for ages 3 and up, and the building set will inspire creativity and brain development with 100s of possibilities to create with just one set. It helps to teach patterning, shape recognition, and building and motor skills. This award-winning toy also creates a great opportunity for parents to play with their children, as it comes with so many pieces.
78. Superhero Capes and Masks Set
Sure, buying them one superhero cape and a mask is cool, but do you know what’s better? Four! This set comes with four different costume sets: Iron Man, Batman, Superman (although, he doesn’t wear a mask so it’s not exactly accurate), and Spider-Man. It also comes with three sheets of superhero stickers and a sheet of superhero temporary tattoos. One size fits most, and your girl will love being a superhero. I’ll note that although this set is geared towards boys (with male superheroes), it’s important to note that they’re intended to be gender neutral, as the designs are loosely based on the male heroes. So, Batman doubles as Batgirl, Spider-Man as Spider-Gwen, Superman as Supergirl, and the new Iron Man is actually a female by the name of Riri Williams.
79. Emoji Universe Inflatable Beach Balls
Emoji-themed toys are all the rage in 2016, and these Emoji inflatable beach balls are super fun and cool. They come in a pack of 12, each of which measures 12″ in diameter. There are six different emojis, and you get two balls of each emoji. They’re great for swimming pools and the beach.
80. Settlers of Catan 5th Edition
As far as toys for girls who are slightly older, board games are always a great way to go. And, one of the best (and my personal favorite) board games is Settlers of Catan (now simply named Catan ), which pits players against each other in a game of trading and resource management. It’s a great game for them to learn, and it will provide them with a fun game to play with their group of friends. Catan is an easy game to learn, but a tough game to master, so it’s a game that will keep them interested for years to come.

81. Xbox One S 500GB Halo Collection Bundle
There’s no better time than right now to become an Xbox fan. The company has definitely turned things around in 2016 with an impressive slate of new games. Now, the Xbox One S will turn things around for their console sales, as it feels like the console the original Xbox One should’ve been at launch. The new Xbox One S is not only prettier — with a ghost white design that’s slimmer and can stand vertically — but it also is slightly faster. What’s more, it comes with 4K capabilities and HDR uprezzing of old games, meaning Halo 5 looks better. There are a few bundles out there right now, and there’s undoubtedly going to be at least a couple more before the holiday season. Plus, the Xbox One S is more than just a game console, as it comes packed with media apps like Netflix, Plex, Hulu, SlingTV, and more. At just $299, it’s THE best console available right now.
82. Disney Princess Royal Car
The only bad thing about this Disney Princess Royal Car is that it isn’t life-size. However, it is big enough to hold up to two Disney Princess dolls. The royal car is elegantly styled with a pink and lavendar colorway, and it has a long steering wheel, in the style of old classic cars. The Royal Car is perfect for creating fairytale moments with their doll collection, and it will create an endless smile when they find it under the Christmass tree this year.
83. Disney Princess Carriage Ride-On
It’s tough to justify spending $400 on a single Christmas present this year, but if there’s one toy that’s worth it, it’s the Disney Princess Carriage Ride-on. This buggie is designed to look like a spacious coach only fit for a princess (and a friend). It has a heart-shaped steering wheel, and it sports a pink and purple design that those familiar with Disney princesses will love. The pink carriage has beautiful ornate details like exterior candle lights and a gold crown on the top, and it has luxurious curtains. The doors open and close elegantly, and they have gold handles. It also has two speeds, forward and reverse. The ride-on has a 45-minute runtime, and it takes 12 hours to charge. If you’ve got the budget, the Disney Princess Carriage Ride-on is an excellent choice, and it’s going to be one of the best-selling toys of the 2016 holiday season.
84. Pom Pom Wow!
We’ve seen numerous create-your-own style kits before, including make your own crayons, art covers, stickers, and more. This year, the hot new trend will be to create their own decorative pom poms. The Pom Pom Wow! by Maya Toys is a decoration station that will allow them to customize their own pom poms with different colors to decorate their things with. It comes with 75 pom poms (and you can buy more, of course).
85. Play-Doh Royal Palace Disney Princess
Creating things with your hands is always fun, and you can never go wrong with Play-Doh. The Play-Doh Royal Palace Disney Princess kit comes with sparkly Play-Doh that is intended for use with Disney Princesses for their dresses, but it also works well for other designs like the ocean or mermaid tails.
Price: $15.79 (21 percent off MSRP)
86. Pie Face Showdown
PieFace was one of the most popular new toys last year, and this year, Hasbro Gaming is back with PieFace Showdown. First, players will load the arm with whipped cream. Then, each player will place their chin on the chin rests and at the count of three, rapidly mash the button. Suspense is built by players getting the arm to move toward their opponent, and when it gets too close, the arm will spring up, shooting the whipped cream in the opponent’s face. Creamed! Obviously, the player who doesn’t get pie-faced wins. It’s a fun game that’s recommended for ages 5 and over, and despite the mess, it’s one of the best new toys for girls in 2016.
87. EC Technology Portable Charger Battery Pack
If they frequently complain about their smartphone or tablet’s battery life, a portable charger battery pack is in order. Check out the EC Technology Portable Charger battery pack, which comes in at under $35 and is packed with features. Not only does it sport a massive 22,400mAh capacity, but there are 3 USB ports on it, meaning they can charge 3 of their devices simultaneously. It has four indicator LED lights on the top to let them know when it’s time to recharge the pack. The EC Technology portable charger also has a few cool colorways that other plain battery packs don’t, so they’re not going to mind lugging it around. If they’re frequently using their phones for games like Pokemon GO — a mega battery hog — a battery pack with a cool design is a must this year.
Price: $32.99 (53% off MSRP)
88. Razor Power Core E100 Electric Scooter
Electric scooters aren’t anything new, really, but the new Razor Power Core E100 is a big improvement over the old models. It has a battery life that allows for one hour of continuous use. The E100 has a high-torque hub motor and a cool kick start feature, as well as a kickstand so that they don’t just throw it on the ground. It has a recommended age range of 8 to 11 years, and if you have more than one child, they’re both going to want one.
89. Disney Frozen Fever Elsa Doll
Although it was just 7 minutes long and came out in the spring, your child probably remembers the Frozen Fever animated short word-for-word. This Disney Frozen Fever Elsa Doll is inspired by the short, complete with Elsa’s newly designed dress.
90. Num Noms Lipgloss Truck Craft Kit
Everyone loves ice cream trucks, but this one doesn’t make ice cream. Instead, it makes ice cream-inspired lipgloss. The Num Noms Lipgloss Truck Craft Kit comes with a lip gloss base, two different flavors (cherry and vanilla), glitter sprinkles, a cupcake making tool with a spatula, and three different lip gloss containers. It’s fun to make your own lipgloss, especially when the lipgloss looks like ice cream!
Price: $29.94 (9 percent off MSRP)
91. My Little Pony Explore Equestria Crystal Empire Castle
My Little Pony toys are just as popular as ever, and this year’s biggest MLP toy is the My Little Pony Explore Equestria Crystal Empire Castle. It features numerous play areas inside and outside of the castle, including two staircases, a baby swing, two closets with spinning shelves, a throne, a crystal vanity, dress, jewelry, and more accessories. The castle also lights-up and reflects cutie marks when the heart in the center is pressed. Assembly is required, but it’s quickly put together with easy to follow instructions. It’s going to be one of the most popular toys for girls for the 2016 holiday season.
92. Little Live Pets Bird With Cage
On last year’s hot toy list of 2016, I included the Little Live Pets Lil’ Turtle. This year’s big Little Live Pets toy is this Tweet Talking Bird with Cage. There are currently two birds available, Funky Feathers, which sports a light blue body with purple and yellow wings, and Bella Rina, a light pink bird with pink wings. Each bird can listen and talk back to your kids, making over 30 real bird noises as well as its own fun words. The toy birds respond to your touch, and they sing, chirp, and tweet away the day.
Price: $17.99 (18 percent off MSRP)
93. Doc McStuffins Hospital Care Cart
Disney’s Doc McStuffins is one of Disney Jr’s most popular television shows for toddlers, following the various adventures of a toy doctor. It’s a great concept, and one that Disney has handled very well, not only through the show’s various life lessons, but also in its merchandising. This Doc McStuffins Hospital Care Cart comes with everything they’ll need to pretend they’re also a toy doctor. It comes with an interchangeable X-raycard, a talking EKG area with an EKG roller, a blood pressure pump (kid friendly, of course), a drawer, and a patient bed. It’s beautifully designed with a bright color palette, and your daughter will be rolling around from family member to family member fixing their toys and moving onto the next patient.
94. Star Wars The Black Series Rogue One Sergeant Jyn Erso
This year’s new Star Wars movie, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. is going to surprise a lot of people. From the numerous trailers we’ve seen so far, it looks like it’s going to be a major success. Of course, with any new Star Wars film comes a massive wave of new action figures and toys, and our favorite pick from the new line is the Sergeant Jyn Erso figure. It’s a classically-detailed 6-inch replica of the newest Star Wars heroine, Sergeant Jyn Erso, and it has multiple points of articulation. But best of all, it’s not just a statue, as she can bend at the knees and elbows, making her poseable. She’ll make a great addition to any Star Wars fan’s collection.
95. Nintendo 3DS XL Galaxy
Nintendo’s newly unveiled Nintendo 3DS XL Galaxy has set the internet abuzz, with many anxiously awaiting to get their hands on it. It doesn’t come with any new features, but it has a cool exterior design inspired by space, sporting a purple-colored galaxy style on its cover. With the newly announced slate of 3DS titles on the way, it appears as though Nintendo is still placing some stock in its handheld, despite the NX’s upcoming release in 2017.

96. Marvel Legends Series Mystic Rivals: Enchantress
Marvel isn’t known to cater to its female readers when it comes to merchandising. But now that they’re starting to add more to their lineup, we’re getting great figures like their new line of Legends Mystic Rivals, which includes this Enchantress action figure. It’s inspired by her design in the comics, and it comes with a couple accessories that fans will love, including a Dormammu torso (which sounds strange out of context, but once you collect all of the other figures you’ll have a full Dormammu figure as well). It stands at 6 inches tall, and it will look great amongst her fellow superheroes in any collection.
97. LEGO Friends Advent Calendar Building Kit
Sure, you could go buy them a typical advent calendar filled with low-quality chocolate, but the new LEGO Friends Advent Calendar Building Kit is a great alternative that will keep them engaged. Like all advent calendars, it features 24 gifts, each enclosed in its own compartment in a LEGO holiday-themed calendar. Each day, they’ll open the respective compartment that contains buildable gifts. Inside each compartment lies smaller items like musical instruments, DJ Decks, a hamster, fireplace, snowman, ice skates, and more, and the kit includes two figures, Emma and Naomi.

Speak Out is a brand new family board game that tasks players with saying phrases with a mouthpiece in their mouths, making every word sound absolutely ridiculous (and hilarious).

It’s a game that’s quick to learn, easy to play, and most importantly, incredibly fun.
