This toy doesn’t do much besides being fun to play with. Kids can simply control this little guy and make him do all sorts of different tricks. Ollies, Rail Jumps, or even the Psycho White Boy - whatever stunt, he can probably master.

 

Hopefully, practicing with this LEGO City MiniFigure can inspire them to try it out on their own. And who knows? This could end up being a valuable collector’s item someday!

 

3. Skateboard Stand

 

 

Don’t you just hate it when your son or daughter leaves their board lying, especially around the stairs or kitchen? This makes a skateboard stand a perfect gift. Not just for them, but yourself included.

Among all possible choices, the Origami Skate Rack by Skater Trainers seems like the most viable option. It’s a free-standing accessory, so no drilling is required, and fits snuggly inside your closet. With this, storage is never an issue.

One thing to note, though, is that it’s suited only for trick skateboards, and not longboards or penny boards. Nevertheless, so as long as it fits, the Origami Skate Rack will undoubtedly teach your child the value of responsibility.

A win-win situation, if we do say so ourselves.

 

4. Board Blazers

 

 

These multi-color LED Underglow Lights offer consumers a quick and easy way to customize their ride. They’re designed to provide skateboarders with enough visibility at night, so oncoming vehicles can be alerted that you are around.

Besides the obvious safety benefits, Board Blazers, as they are commonly known, can be easily attached to skateboards, longboards, or electric scooters using adhesive tape. Even pre-teens won’t have trouble installing it.

Plus, it’s got the image of an activity they are fully invested in right now.

The Vintage Retro T-Shirt is made from high-quality materials, is machine washable, and helps keep them cool and fresh when outdoors. This comes in five distinct colors as well, so you can just choose which one is their favorite.

Oh, and did we mention this shirt comes in styles for boys, girls, and children. Can someone say, matchy-matchy?

The Recover Skateboard Cellphone Case isn’t your typical mobile phone holder.

For one, it’s made from refurbished wood and Polycarbonate, creating a wonderfully rustic housing for gadgets. Each case is also one-of-a-kind with no two items sharing the same granular patterns. Quite amazing, isn’t it?

Another quality we love is its slim design.

The Recover Skateboard Cellphone Case fits perfectly inside your pocket and provides access to all the necessary controls.

This gift idea is perfect for children of all ages. Unfortunately, though, it’s only compatible with the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro. So please take note. Hopefully, the company releases variants for other cellphone models soon.

How cool would it look to have an action camera strapped to your child’s arm or helmet? They’d be able to capture every memory and facial expression, whether good or bad, when riding on their skateboard.

The Polaroid Cube+ Lifestyle Camera lets its users capture videos in high-definition. 1080p resolution, to be exact. This is perfect for vlogging, the production of short films, and basically, just goofing around with friends.

To prevent getting broken easily, you can pair the Polaroid Cube+ Lifestyle Camera with its plastic enclosure. This, essentially, makes it waterproof, free from scratches, and kept safe when accidentally dropped.

We also love that consumers can tailor-make the dice themselves. Each set comes with sticker sheets that include stances and a particular trick. Use those to fill in all faces, then design however they please.
