Nobody knows your child better than you do. But even though they're biologically your mini-me, a universal joy of parenting is watching them become their own person.

By the time the holidays roll around again, they've probably developed a whole new set of likes and dislikes-which can make navigating the toy aisle for the best gift, well, tricky. So we went ahead and did the hard part for you by tracking down special picks based on your child's personality type. Here's what to get for...

Kids who can't seem to sit still deserve a toy that can keep up! Cue this push-to-start police car with handlebar lights, which they can hop on whenever they're in the mood to track down some bad guys (or the dog).


If they're the type to have a new favorite song every week, then you've probably heard it playing at full blast from their room every week too. Fortunately, these volume-reduced headphones let music-lovers privately jam out without damaging their ear drums, so you can make dinner in peace and quiet.


You never know what trouble they might get into next, but at least you can send them out there prepared! This Nerf Scravenger is specially designed to take on zombies big and small, thanks to its hidden back-up blaster and light feature.


For the affectionate kiddos with a heart of gold, Mighty Pups Marshall makes the perfect cuddly companion. Whether your little one is playing, napping, or guarding the house, the jumbo-size plush will always come to the rescue.


Put their wild imagination to good use with this Web Slinger. As soon as they slide on the super-powered glove, they'll transform into a crime-fighting superhero who takes down villains with heavy-duty webs and a water soaker.


Your child will want to bring more than a few pals to the house for a round of this classic card game-with an exciting twist. There are two options every time a player draws a new card: Either luck will be on their side, or they'll be met with a stream of cards to add to their hand.


She might not be allowed to go out in sparkly tutus and mismatched socks every day, but at least she can rock these stylish PJs every night while representing the best school of wizardry to ever exist.


Satisfy their competitive spirit with this dual-sided spiral race track. With six interchangeable obstacles, it's anyone's guess which of the glow-in-the-dark cars will come out on top-but they'll have fun trying!
