I’m not sure about you all but every time a commercial comes on, I hear in unison my four-year old son and six-year old daughter say, “I WANT THAT!” Here are a few of the top things that have my son singing the “I WANT THAT” song.
Hot Wheels Corkscrew Crash Track Set
I’m pretty sure that we’ve gotten racetracks for our son for Christmas the past three years. Each year the tracks get windier and faster. This Hot Wheels Corkscrew Crash Track Set looks to top the cake with the most loops! The good thing is we already have a gazillion Hot Wheels cars that I know will be compatible with it!

Lego Juniors Marvel Sets
When it comes to superheroes, my son can name each one by their character name and their superhero name. I’m pretty impressed. I think he will absolutely love the Lego Juniors Marvel Sets that come in different characters like Spiderman and Hulk. He’s also at the great age where he’s starting to figure things out, like how to assemble Lego sets by following the instructions. So cool to see their little brains work!

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
One gift that I think my husband and I would approve of is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. This is a “must play” every time we go into Target. He gets completely immersed and loves playing as Luigi. I’m pretty sure this is one that after he goes to bed, Mommy and Daddy will play, too!

Over the door basketball hoop
Our son is o-b-s-e-s-s-e-d with the Charlotte Hornets and just playing basketball in general. No doubt he will love this over the door basketball hoop. I remember when I was little always playing this with my brother and sister. Buzz buzz!
