With the holidays around the corner, one of the hot topics in the barbershops will revolve around gift for the holidays. What should I get for my wife? What about the kids?

Of course you’ll get plenty of ideas from the kids themselves, and many of them will revolve around the newest and latest gadgets. Everything from the iPad, to smartphones to the latest video games and game consoles will get a ton of attention. And naturally you’re going to get some of that stuff, as it’s a part of the modern world.

But we’re about appreciating old school things, and some of the stuff you liked as a kid will also be big hits with your own kids. And, some of those things might get kids off of their behinds to run around a bit. We all know that having them sitting around all day isn’t good for their health or your sanity.

One classic has to be basketball on the driveway, so shopping for outdoor basketball goals might be a great option for your family. It’s a great way for the kids to have fun with their friends, and for you to get up a play a bit as well. That belly isn’t going away all by itself!

If you’re looking for a gadget to excite your kids, think about a basketball hoop for the driveway and you and your family will have hours of fun.
