1. Mastermind A great stocking stuffer under $20!
Test your code-cracking prowess with Mastermind, the challenging game of logic and deduction. Can you crack the code in 10 moves or less? Can you create a code than can’t be cracked? With more than 55 million units sold, Mastermind is a great strategy game . . . and one of the world’s most popular games ever. It’s easy to learn and fast to play, and with more than 2,000 possible codes it’s different every time.
Here's how it works: The Codemaker sets a secret code, then the Codebreaker tries to match the code using logic, deduction, and maybe even a little bit of luck. After each move, the Codemaker gives clues to the Codebreaker. Make the code even more devious by using multiple pegs of the same color or by leaving one or more peg holes empty. With so many possible code combinations, every game is guaranteed to be a brainteaser. All of these game components can be stored in the game board.

6. Zinc Flyte Scooter + Carry Case = Happy Travelers
A thing about Flyte. Flyte took two things that are usually tough for parents and grandparents, packing and traveling with young kids -- then turned both into fun. With Flyte, kids are more likely to help pack and definitely eager to scoot whenever you say “Let’s go.” Not an easy accomplishment! But Flyte did it.
Flyte is lightweight. Flyte is sturdy. Flyte is compact. It truly is quite an invention. It’s hard to know if moms and dads will love it more --or kids. We guess you’ll have to see for yourself!
One last thing. It’s easy to talk about the fun scootering part of Flyte. But Flyte meets all general hand luggage standards when traveling. The Midi scooter itself can hold up to 110 lbs. and the Mini 44 lbs, while we recommend a maximum of 11 lbs of luggage in the cases.There are two models, the Mini is for ages 2-4 and the Midi is great for ages 4-8.
