These Moms on TikTok Just Found the “Flyest” Gift for Kids This Holiday

“I’ve never seen anything like it!”

This year, we’re determined to be done with our holiday shopping by December 1. That way, we can avoid the dreaded seasonal stressfest that inevitably occurs whenever we leave all those big to-dos ‘til the very last minute. Thankfully, our list is slowly getting whittled down with the help of TikTok, as we’ve scoured social media to find great gift ideas. One such gift for the kiddos that keeps cropping up on our favorite influencers’ feeds? The L.O.L. Surprise! Magic Flyers.

The toy is unique in that the doll's packaging moves and lights up all on its own before opening up and releasing the flying tot into the air. Here’s how it works: First, kids tap the outside of the bottle three times to “awaken” the doll inside. Seconds later, the bottle lights up and starts to shake and rock. Once you pull back the bottle’s top, the Magic Flyer is revealed and soars into the sky, where she’ll hover above surfaces (or your little one’s palm) with seemingly endless energy (a trait we all wish we had during this busy season, amiright?). Plus, the tot is rechargeable with an included charging cord for a repeatable play experience.

See the fun in action from these families who tested the toy with their kids. If their reviews are anything to go by—“LOOK DADDY! She’s so cool!”—our holiday shopping list just got a little bit shorter.

The Parents

Ema Taylor

Influencer Ema Taylor said her daughter was already a big fan of L.O.L. Surprise!, but didn’t expect the new Magic Flyers to be such a hit. “She’s going so high!” her daughter squealed with delight as the toy flew and hovered above her.

The Hensley Family

The excitement from this adorable brood is infectious enough to make us want to buy out the stock of Magic Flyers (honestly, we’d buy anything Desireé Hensley recommends). Just watch the video above to see what we mean.

The Smiley Family

Francesca and Simon’s daughter Stella was clearly a fan of the repeatable unboxing experience of her new Magic Flyer, which comes with a charging cord so the fun never has to end.
