Shopping for the perfect birthday present for a kid can be harder than many might think. One of the biggest challenges is finding a high tech gift kids won’t kid tired of too quickly to justify spending the money. Here are seven outstanding ideas for fun, tech-based birthday gifts.

Amazon offers an entire year of Free Time, so it will last until next year’s birthday. There is an impressive library of games, videos and kid’s books too.
