To take the guesswork out of gift buying, we’ve found practical and helpful gifts for any occasion, sorted by theme to help find everything you are looking for.

Top 5 “Outdoor Fun & Games” Gifts

1) On-The-Go Kickball Set
Play the sandlot-favorite game of kickball anywhere, anytime with this durable, portable, storage-friendly set. Features three heavy-duty bases, a home plate, and a kickball that will stand the test of time. Comes in a grab-and-go bucket for easy transport and storage.

2) Hook & Ring Game - Surf Edition
Creator Kyle McGetrick originally made a Tiki Toss smartphone game, and fans loved it so much they asked him to create the real thing. This is a simple, addictive game for parties, barbecues, and other gatherings—indoor or out. Swing the ring on a string, and try to hook it on the Tiki Toss board. Follow the preset scoring rules or make up your own.

3) Snowboard Kick Scooter - Blue
When you add a handle to a snowboard, you get a snow scooter—a fun, new way to spend time outside. The Ski Skooter gives kids the feel of riding a snowboard, but with an adjustable handle that can help with balance and steering. The lightweight, durable body folds down to store until the next snow day.

4) Foxtail Softie Ball Toy
The Foxtail ball toy provides high-flying entertainment for kids of all ages. Spin, toss, and catch it by its tail—it can soar up to 50 yards. Go for the LED-lit Foxtail for glowing fun in the dark. Includes game ideas to keep the play in motion.

5) B3 Bean Bag Bucketz Toss Game
This outdoor bean bag game will entertain the whole family—just take it along, set it up, and toss. The idea started with a seashell tossing game Anthony Esposito created to amuse his kids. There are baskets at varying heights, which count for different points as you play at the beach, while tailgating, on camping trips, or in the backyard.
