92 Playful Gifts for Grown-Up Kids

From Arcade-Inspired Coffee Machines to Adult-Sized Trikes

— November 21, 2013 — Life-Stages
These products are perfect gifts for grown-up kids at heart who still have a sense of fun and adventure. One of the best parts about Christmas as a kid was unwrapping presents from under the tree to find cool new toys. This kind of excitement doesn’t have to end in adulthood, especially when there are so many fun and functional items out there.

An item like a super-sized tricycle made in primary colors and outfitted with tassels and a bell on from its handlebars definitely seems like something designed for a child, but the ‘Big Wheel Trike’ is one big toy that’s designed specifically to help adults relive their childhoods. Toys like these are whimsical ways to bring back some of the wonder that the holidays used to inspire in adults as youths.
