Is the Skillmatics Guess in 10 Card Game worth buying?

The best bang-for-your-buck gift on this whole list — and it makes dinner feel like a family again. If I had to narrow this entire list down to three picks, I’d say the LEGO Classic set, the Stomp Rocket, and the Guess in 10 card game will give you the best combination of immediate excitement and long-term play. But honestly, the right gift depends on your kid — and if you’ve got a 6-year-old anything like Rosie, they’ll have very clear opinions about all of this regardless of what you pick. My one piece of practical dad advice: resist the urge to buy five medium gifts when two really good ones will land harder and actually get used. Less is almost always more at this age, and your future self — the one digging Hexbugs out from under the sofa in February — will thank you. If you’ve found a gift that was a genuine hit with your 6-year-old, I’d genuinely love to hear about it in the comments. Rosie and I are always looking for the next great thing, and she has already started drafting her list for next year. It is three pages long. We’re working through some things.
