Times have changed and tables have turned. Toys and simple clothes for kids are no longer delightful gifts. That used to happen a few years back. Kids became geeky and techie. So should the gifts. 2017 has offered a wide variety of exciting tech gifts and gadgets for kids. There is something good at every price range. Here we’ve picked out the most appealing ones to help you find the best gift for your kid this Christmas.

Mini Drone

The tech market is awash with drones now, but the best ones are insanely pricey. You obviously don’t want to spend millions of shillings on a device a kid might end up smashing into a tree. Starting small with something like the Key share Kimon Miniature Drone, or any of the below UGX 200,000 drones from Kilimall Uganda.

Game console

The market leaders in the console business have already released their flagship offerings. PlayStation 4 Pro from Sony and the XBox One X from Microsoft. These two all have improved tech under the hood when compared to their predecessors. Gameplay is fluid in them and 4K video output ensure the best image. The Xbox One X may, however, have a slight advantage over the liquid cooled Playstation 4 pro because it has backward compatibility with over 300 old Xbox titles. However, they are both great and will keep your kid happy for a long time. A PlayStation 4 Pro costs about Ugx 1.74M from Gadget Craze, and a PlayStation 4 with 1TB of space costs about Ugx 1.33M from the same retailer.

E-Reader

These will give your children a fun way to read comics and other education material. Let the curious kid quench his thirst for new knowledge by giving them an eReader this Christmas. Amazon has the eReader market cornered with many worthy offerings. Your best is perhaps the Kindle. But which one? The Kindle Paperwhite has a sharp display and fast performance for a slightly lower price of about 450K. Get your kid this gift without necessarily the breaking bank.

Gear VR

Virtual reality became the new cool and there are so many good VR headsets and VR ready devices on the market. Get your kids mesmerized by shooting them to the virtual reality world this Christmas.

Wireless Gaming Mouse

Not every kid is a console fanboy. Some Kids love playing games on the high-end laptops and desktops. A wireless gaming mouse would make the best Christmas gift for the kid who never fancies consoles and does all gaming on computers. Available at Kilimall Uganda starting from Ugx 16,000.

Bluetooth Smartwatch

This low-cost Bluetooth smartwatch has functions of a fully functional watch and borrows some functions of the high-end smartwatches on the market. It may not be able to monitor cardio activities or track speed but it can be used to receive notifications from your handset and receive calls too. The SmartWatch Q18 is available from Kilimall Uganda for UGX 55,000.

Smartphone

Preparing your kid for the technology renaissance should involve buying them their first smartphone. There are so many entry-level smartphones to get your kids started. Fero mobile has one such a phone for just UGX 120,000. This is great for kids who normally think of playing simple games. You can also buy some mid-rangers for your teenage children. Phones like Infinix Hot 5 lite and Infinix Hot 5 (both below UGX 400,000) with big screens and good cameras will revive the merriness of Christmas and help you keep in touch with your kids while you are gone after the festive holiday. Remember to show them how to use the different apps.
