Remi, what's wonderful Christmas in America?

That's Noah, my four-year-old daughter.

She's talking to her twin brother, Remy.

A tulip, a cape, and a new light.

And I'm under a lot.

I'm Rosie and this is The Wire Cutter Show.

We are nearly through our holiday gifting series where we've been featuring product recommendations, gifting advice, and listener questions,

all about giving to those you love over the holidays.

The other episodes in this series are admittedly geared toward grownups,

but in my experience, kids are perhaps the most complicated recipients on a gift list.

Almost always discerning, committed to honest feedback, specific about what they want,

and sometimes incredibly unspecific.

Noah, what does I like for Christmas and Hanukkah? I like a princess thing with,

and then a spooky present for Hanukkah was with a golden medal

and then a surprise. So today we're going straight to the source. I'm going to talk to real life kids

about what they like and don't like to help you get a sense of what might make good gifts

for the kids in your life.

I sat down with three kids, Dior, age eight, Robinson, age 11, and Chloe, who's specifically

six and three quarters.

These kids are from different places, they celebrate different holidays, but one thing they

all have in common is that they're kids who love presents, shocker.

These three told me what they've got on their list this year, and I showed them each and age-appropriate wirecutter gift guide to get their take on our picks to see how our expert recommendations are received by the real experts.
