The Switch is a kid favorite for good reason — bright, friendly, easy to pick up. The tricky part is picking a game that's age-appropriate and that they don't already own. Here are some can't-miss options, plus the gift that takes the guesswork out entirely.
If you're not sure what they have — or you want them to choose — a Nintendo eShop card is ideal. The child picks the game (with a parent's sign-off), so there are no duplicates and no wrong guesses, and you set the budget. A $20 eShop card makes a great, right-sized gift, and the funds never expire if they want to save up.
Redeeming takes about a minute — here's the step-by-step guide to redeeming an eShop card on Switch to pass along with the gift.
