If ever there was a time we all want to be a kid again, it’s during the holidays. Am I right? It’s not always easy to shop for your kids without wishing some of those amazing finds in your cart were for you, too. It’s going to happen even more this year because some of the most coveted items this holiday season just might be on everyone’s wish list — they really are that awesome. These hot items work for kids (and adults) of all ages, so they’re perfect for sharing, whether your kids like that idea or not. Solve the problem by picking up two of everything… or just “borrow” the one you get your kids, just like they’ve been doing to you for years. Either way, you’ll be glad these gifts made their way into your home this holiday season. After all, why should kids have all the fun?

BeatsX earphones
You might think all headphones are the same, but just a few minutes of wearing these Beats wireless earphones will change your mind. Either pick up an extra pair for yourself or practice convincing your kid they left theirs on the bus. (Apple, $150)
Singing Machine
So, you’re going to put this under the tree for your kids this year, but we’re guessing you already have plans to bring it to your next girls’ night. We don’t blame you — it’ll make the party. (Amazon, $47)
Nintendo 2DS with New Super Mario Bros. 2 pre-installed
The Nintendo 2DS system with the New Super Mario Bros. 2 game pre-installed is the perfect gift for a gamer on the go. It plays Nintendo 3DS games in a 2D format. You can choose one with the New Super Mario Bros. 2 or Mario Kart 7 game pre-installed. It’s also wi-fi compatible so you can play friends online in select games. Your kids aren’t going to be happy when you’re stealing their toy, so just grab one for yourself, too. Plus, playing against each other in select games is a great bonding experience, right? (Best Buy, $79.99)
Echo Dot
If you don’t yet see the appeal of the Echo Dot, just a few days of watching your tween request lighting and music changes from the comfort of their bed will have you ready to install one in each and every room of your home. (Amazon, $50)
WowWee Roboraptor
You probably can’t picture yourself playing with robots, but it’ll only take a few minutes of playing with this one (at your kids’ request, of course!) to get you hooked. It’s so much fun to make it move around, play games and even respond to the sound of your voice, you may find yourself talking to it when your kids are at school. (Amazon, $90)
Polaroid Snap Touch
This isn’t the Polaroid you used to know. Instant gratification can still be yours when you print your pictures with the press of a button, but you’ll know what you’re getting ahead of time with the updated LCD display. Connecting your camera to a printer is so old-school, right? (Amazon, $159)
Jewel Bluetooth wireless speaker
This wireless speaker actually looks as good as it sounds — and it would look pretty great in your living room. Maybe your kids will agree to let it stay there. (Amazon, $50)
ALEX Metallic Hair Chalk Salon
Admit it, you’ve always wanted a purple stripe in your hair. Tell your kids it’s bonding time and have a hair chalking party — or just wait until they leave and have a solo spa day. (Kohl’s, $22)
Elwood the Unicorn cereal bowl
Don’t even pretend you’re not going to use this unicorn bowl for your cereal every single time you get a morning to yourself. No one would believe you anyway. Just make sure to wash it and put away — your kids will certainly notice it in the sink. (Uncommon Goods, $38)
Beachwaver curling iron
One look at those gorgeous wavy locks and you might start helping yourself to your kids’ beauty tools for a change — especially if you have long hair like this was designed for. That’s fair, right? (Ulta, $129)
Bean bag chair
Not only does this bean bag chair make a perfectly comfortable spot to sink after a long day, but the vibrant colors mean it’ll look good in most of the rooms in your house — even your room. (Target, $45)
