“They clean up/store easily with the travel pouch and will be nice for restaurants (instead of phones and tablets) because of their size and portability,” another Amazon reviewer says.

Best Christmas gifts for teens at at Amazon in 2024

Don’t forget the older kids in your life this Christmas season — Amazon has plenty of great gift ideas for those aged 12 and up. Here are our top Christmas gift ideas for teens you can get at Amazon.

Lego Creator 3-in-1 Forest Animals kit

Lego toys are always a hit with kids during the holiday season. What we like about this kit is its versatility. You can build a red fox, owl or squirrel using the included 667 pieces. The animals you build are poseable — the fox can move its head and paws, the squirrel has a poseable head and ears and the owl’s head turns 360 degrees. When you’re done enjoying your build, you can take it apart and make one of the other animals.

“If you have a Lego fanatic like I do, the 3 in 1 builds are great,” says one Amazon reviewer of the 4.9-star-rated Lego set. “This is a great concept to keep your Lego builder engaged without having to buy more Legos (you get three builds!) and has encouraged [the] kiddo to rethink his Legos to build in many ways.

Find this kit at Amazon for $49. Reviewers suggest the final builds are so cute, you may want to buy more than one set so you don’t have to choose which to build.

Dungeons & Dragons 2024 Player’s Handbook

Ever wanted to get involved with Dungeons and Dragons, but don’t know where to start? Or maybe you’re playing in a campaign and want to know more about your options while playing? Then you need this book.

This book will be released on Sept. 17, 2024. It retails for $50, but you can pre-order it at Amazon now for $45. It make a great stand-alone gift, but it’s even better when paired with the updated Dungeons & Dragons 2024 Dungeon Master’s Guide ($50) and Dungeons & Dragons 2024 Monster Manual ($50) books.

CMYK Wavelength: The party gameshow in a box

The rules behind Wavelength are simple, but addictive. One person gives their team a clue that fits somewhere on a certain spectrum — for example, they might give the clue “coffee” for a spectrum of hot to cold. The rest of the team then needs to pinpoint exactly where on the hot-to-cold spectrum they think coffee is. The more in sync the team is with the clue giver, the more points you score.

Reviwers love that the game is quick to learn and easy to set up — the entire thing is played inside the box. Anywhere from 2 to 12 people can play.

“I can’t recommend CMYK Wavelength enough,” says on Amazon reviewer about the 4.7-star-rated game. “It’s a guaranteed hit for game nights, offering an experience that’s super fun, engaging and totally memorable. If you’re on the lookout for a game that bridges the gap between serious and silly, that accommodates both small and large groups, and that promises endless hours of entertainment, this is the one.”

Find CYMK Wavelength it at Amazon for $31, reduced from $40. It’s recommended for ages 14 and up.
