If you’re looking for a gift for a kid — or a kid at heart — look no further!
Being a kid is the best. Everything’s more fun when you’re a kid. Kids get all the best stuff, like long summer vacations, pool parties, and moon bounces. Kids get the best meals at every restaurant. Even sick days are more fun when you’re a kid! Think about it: A kid’s sick day is filled with TV marathons and game shows — not doctor’s appointments and DayQuil.
Yeah, it’s good to be a kid.
And nothing’s better when you’re a kid than getting a gift. Think back to the gifts you got for your birthday or the holidays. You can probably still remember the best gift that you got when you were little, can't you?
But here’s what’s interesting: The older you get, the harder it is to find a great gift for a kid. The things you once loved — board games, Beanie Babies, Barbies, whatever — aren’t what kids want anymore.
The good news is: We’re here to help! If you’re buying a gift for a kid — or a friend who’s still a kid at heart — we’ve got some great ideas for you.

It's Trick Or Treat Time!
What are you wearing for Halloween this year?
Most of the gifts on our list are just for kids. Luckily, Halloween’s only three weeks away, and it's the perfect time to rediscover the kid in you! Since it can be hard picking out the perfect costume, we talked with the BuzzFeed DIY team to find a few good ideas for this Halloween:
The costume if you’re super crafty: Guess Who? Advance warning: This costume involves 17 steps. But the end result is also SO cool. Grab your glue gun and get crafting. Get the instructions here.
The costume if you’re looking to repurpose an old bridesmaid dress: Miss Behavior. All you need is the dress, a tiara, and a sash. (And you thought you’d never use that dress again!) Here’s a guide — plus a few other ideas for that bridesmaid dress.
The Halloween thing to do if you really don’t want to wear a costume: The no-carve pumpkin. We here at BuzzFeed are strongly pro-Halloween costume. But if you want to stay in the holiday spirit without wearing a costume, start with these no-carve pumpkin ideas.
