Stuff To Buy Your Kid That You Can Actually Enjoy Too

It can be tricky buying gifts for your kids. They grow so fast, and their taste changes pretty quickly. One day they're playing with Hot Wheels, the next they're riding an ATV, and before you know it, you have a toy box full of gifts that won't ever be touched again.

So, if you're looking to get your child a gift, maybe be a little selfish and get something that you'll enjoy too! So even if it flops, you can get a kick out of it.
