Hot Wheels – Our Favorite Christmas Gift!
This post is sponsored by Lunchbox. All opinions are my own.
Every single year for the last 7 years (since my son’s 2nd Christmas) I have purchased Hot Wheels cars for my boys for Christmas. My son’s first Christmas he was too young to participate. So his second Christmas we were so excited to have a child to spend the holidays with. We bought 10 individual Hot Wheels cars and wrapped each of them up individually.
When he ripped open the wrapper far enough to see the car the first one, he was frantic and excited – he couldn’t get to the car fast enough! You’d think that after the first few cars, his excitement for a new one might have lessened for him to want to play with the already open cars instead of opening up a new one. But it didn’t. Each time he was just as excited and frantic having to get the package ripped open and to his new car as fast as possible.
We couldn’t have got him anything better for Christmas that year and the $10 or so we spent on the Hot Wheels cars was by far the best investment in presents that year. He played with his new cars every chance he got during that trip.
We still use Hot Wheels in all four of our boys stockings every year because they are the perfect fit for a stocking and you can absolutely never have enough Hot Wheels cars! We are huge fans in this house!

oh hot wheels are always a favorite for my girls too. I used to get them in my stocking for Christmas and they are perfect for playing outside in the dirt!
My littlest loves Hot Wheels. I buy her one all the time. I try to find the coolest cars her Papa loves so they can play together.
Hot Wheels are very loved in my home…my hubby even has some hanging on the wall in our bedroom….
What cute photo’s. My son is 7 and he still loves to sit and play with cars. I would like to get him a race track.
I loved Hot Wheels as a kid. I keep trying to get my boys into them–we have a ton! I love this rewards program. What a great idea!
Hot Wheels are such a great gift! They can be stuffed in a stocking or bigger sets can make great gifts.
My son is 3 years old and is into toy cars. These would make great stocking stuffers!
My Little Man has loved Hot Wheels for ever… he has such a large collection and always asks for more… This is great for the holidays
This is awesome. My parents could have used this when I was a kid. I was a Hot Wheels junkie.
My son had a huge Hot Wheels collection. He loved saving his money so he could go and buy more. They make great gifts.
My son has always been crazy for Hot Wheels. He used to get a stocking full of them.
If you have a boy, you can’t go wrong with hot wheels. From age 2 all the way up to my 10 year old. The boys have always loved hot wheels their entire lives.
What a great rewards program. I have a friend with a son, and she definitely needs to know about this. Her son is a Hot Wheels fiend.
It’s SO fun to watch what kids get excited about around Christmas! We LOVE Hotwheels at our house – definitely going to be on my son’s Christmas list!
I love giving Hot Wheels as a gift. I love that they have a rewards program now. With Christmas around the corner i will be stocking up for sure.
This is a great rewards program. I think it’s so fun for the kids to be able to pick out what they’ll get. Great!
This is a great rewards program for anybody with a young son. I’ve yet to see a little boy who isn’t totally obsessed with Hot Wheels.
I don’t know any young boy who doesn’t have a Hot Wheels collection. My two brother’s had theirs, & now my little one has his very own collection. And, it keeps growing…lol
Why does this stuff always come out AFTER I need it?! Where the heck was this when I was buying hot wheels like crazy for my nephew? =(
Did someone say Hot Wheels!? I remember getting them in my Christmas stocking when I was a kid too! They are perfect for that. I didn’t know they had a rewards program now – very cool!
Oh these pics are so precious. My daughter liked playing with hot wheels too.
I used to collect Hot Wheels. When my daughter was little she loved to play with them.Now my nieces like to race them in the kitchen.
All of my grandsons love Hot Wheels , I get them for them for their stockings every year.
My son loves his hot wheels, he has so many and he love his hot wheels race tracks.
I do! I gave my son Hot Wheels for Christmas every year and he loved it! Your son is so cute and it is wonderful that he gets excited every year when he gets a Hot Wheel Toy!
Hot Wheels have been around forever- gosh I remember them way way back in the 60s! My brothers had them growing up, then nephews and now thier children. Hot Wheels are truly timeless.
My daughter loves playing with my husband’s old Hot Wheels cars. Those cars last forever, and they’re timeless fun!
My son loves hot wheels and will probably be getting some for Christmas.
