CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE
TECH TYKE
One approach is to learn ’em some resilience by only giving them a box of rusty old nails to play with; that’s not the one we’ve gone with here
SPHERO INDI
It’s never too early to introduce kids to their future overlords. Aimed at kids as young as four, this wheeled robot comes with 30 cards that trigger different actions when it trundles over them, stealthily teaching the basics of problem-solving.

GINGKO SMART MOON LAMP
Why buy them a normal night light when Gingko’s Smart Moon Lamp exists? Not only does it float above the wooden base and slowly turn just like the real thing, but its 3D-printed surface is textured like the real thing too, so you can feel its craters under your fingers as you spin it. The only real difference is this one’s made of plastic instead of cheese.
