Build towers and bridges or work hand-eye coordination by lacing blocks with the wooden dowels and string. Four solid wooden people expand their imaginative horizons as they craft houses and buildings. Bonus: The included wooden box is not only ideal for neat and tidy storage, but also converts into a play car! This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen, so definitely don’t miss out!

We’ve tried a lot of kids’ headphones and these reign supreme. The sound doesn’t leak and the volume can be limited to protect little ears. We also love the dual wireless/wired capability which keeps them in action even if the battery dies and the fact they can be linked together so two kiddos can listen or watch the same thing together. The included travel bag and stickers for decorating are the icing on the cake!

Looking for screen-free entertainment instead? We love the Yoto player for endless hours of screen-free fun. The clever (and delightfully minimalist) audio player allows kids to listen to a huge library of bestselling audiobooks, music and singalongs, educational activities and kids podcasts through super cool content cards they can insert themselves. It even comes with a record your own card that’s perfect for personalized books they can’t get enough of! Bonus: It’s also a nightlight, sleep trainer and white noise machine in one!

With a variety of climbing challenges like ropes, sturdy rungs and hanging ladders as well as a climbing wall, slide and monkey bars, this 6-in-1 Jungle Gym entertains kids through many ages and stages. The engaging design is geared toward ages 18 months to 6 years, but depending on their size, could easily last until they’re seven or eight. The 300 pound weight limit allows multiple kids to comfortably play at once. We also love that it’s sustainably made in the USA and boasts as super helpful customer service if you need help with assembly.

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again. Magnatiles are one of the greatest toys of all time. This space shuttle set is a great addition to a growing collection and includes six of the latest additions–the microMAGs squares!

My kids are 11 and 17, and it’s possible some of these instruments still exist in my house somewhere. They’re a fun addition to music time and dance parties or marching in their own neighborhood parade. And bonus! They come with their own wooden box for storage.

With only one way for each pair to fit, this educational puzzle helps little ones with letters and first words as they match the alphabet to pictures.

The chunky 6-piece puzzles from Melissa & Doug are practically a playroom staple.

Or, if they’re more into jungle animals, this is just the ticket!

On a dollars to fun ratio, Stomp Rockets may be the best toy investment I ever made. I mean, who doesn’t love the satisfaction of stomping something into space? Kids will spend literally hours setting them up and chasing them down, experimenting throughout the process with direction and force. This particular set includes three different styles of rockets, adding an additional layer of STEM learning as they learn which ones glide, which ones flip and which ones can turn impressive loops. Trust me when I say you’ll be asking for a turn yourself.

If there isn’t a LEGO Star Wars advent calendar at your house is it even December? (Just me?) This year’s annual classic is a journey through 25 years of iconic LEGO Star Wars toys with a collection of vehicles, toys and minifigures set in chronological order. From a miniature X-wing and Millennial Falcon to Darth Vader’s Castle, it’s a history lesson of galactic proportions. (Also, Luke and Leia in Christmas sweaters?! SOLD.)

This top-rated set from Crayola provides just about everything your child needs to get creative, including markers, paper, crayons and more. The storage case makes it easy for travel and ensures all of the 140 pieces have a place to go once they’re done playing.

Kids will get to mix science and art as they grow their own habitat in this terrarium kit. We love that it glows in the dark at night and the chia and wheat grass seeds grow within a few days.

What is Clixo? Well, a better question might be what isn’t it? A flexible, magnetic and modern-twist on building toys, Clixo sets invite kids to create any 2D or 3D structures they can dream up. The pieces, which are made from a durable and eco-friendly material they can bend and twist, feature secure magnets at the ends that click together with an impressive hold. From robots and jewelry to purses and rocket ships, the sky’s the limit on what they create!

The Amazon Fire HD is our top-pick for kid tablets for its durability, controls and price–even when it’s not on sale. It also comes with 1 year of Amazon Kids+ (FreeTime Unlimited), and a 2-year worry-free guarantee.

This one is actually fun for the entire family! The game play is simple (it literally takes less than three minutes to learn) and the illustrations are ahhdorable. But be warned. They may look cute but games can get intense quickly. So much yelling. In the good way, of course.

At home or on-the go, LCD writing tablets are an indispensable way to keep kids occupied without a screen. They can doodle, play drawing games and even practice their handwriting and erase it all at the touch of a button to start again.

A great price and an ever greater gift! We absolutely love our Ember Smart mugs since it means we can abandon our coffee six times every morning and come back to find it perfectly piping hot.

This newest version of the Kindle has a larger display and warm light option as well as all the previous features that make it so great (waterproofing, glare-free screen, crazy battery lift and portability). They’re impressively durable and long-lasting (especially when it seems like iPads become bricks within a couple years.) For avid readers, it’s totally indispensable. Not to mention it makes a great gift!

We loved the OG version but might love this updated model even more. Not only does it offer salon-worthy blow outs, it also costs a fraction of what you’d spend on the Dyson Airwrap.

Oral-B’s highly-rated Genius X is currently at the lowest price we’ve seen. The app-enabled powerhouse can even track your brushing habits to help improve your work!

If someone on your list struggles with headaches, you can be their own personal hero. This soothing cap is designed especially for migraine sufferers and according to thousands of glowing reviews, it’s completely indispensable. Just pop it in the freezer and melt into a dark cocoon of cool relaxation.

If you want to treat the beauty lover in your life to a slam dunk gift, meet the Laneige Lip Mask. It’s so hydrating and I noticed a difference the first time I used it. I now use it several times a day and because the Berry color has a slight pink tinge and gloss. I even use it as a lip gloss when going out for the night. There are a bunch of sweet flavors to choose from (hello, gummy bear??) and at 30% off you should probably buy two.

For anyone who needs to improve their sleep hygiene, I’m a complete and total devotee of this weighted sleep mask. The gentle pressure not only blocks light, it also signals my body to relax and turn my brain off for the night. I’ve traveled a bunch lately and even when I’m trying to pack light, this little miracle always makes the cut.

I honestly feel like a heating pad is one of life’s small pleasures, which makes it a fantastic gift for anyone who needs a little more of that. (Basically everyone.) I’ve had this highly-rated one for a couple years now and use it almost daily. It’s usually on my office chair, but given its size, it’s also great for warming the bed before getting in on cold nights or just watching Netflix on the couch.

Looking for a very on-the-nose stocking stuffer? The slightly horrifying but oh-so-satisfying foot peels from Plantifique are my family’s current obsession. (And with over 28K 5-star ratings, it’s not just my house that’s on team Foot Peel!) Just wear the serum filled plastic booties for a little while and in about a week you’ll have the feet of a newborn baby. Though I must note as much as we love the results, look at the review photos at your peril.

A robot vacuum that listens better than anyone in our house? Sign us up. This highly-rated model from Roomba is an editor favorite, earning high marks for its suction power on both hard floors and carpets as well as an easy-to-use app.

Sleeping arrangements fit for a Queen! This super plush mattress cover instantly upgrades any mattress and offers a layer of cooling breathability.

We’ve tried all kinds of sheets and can say with certainty that these perform better than some that cost four times as much. The bamboo fabric is silky and cool and they hold up beautifully wash after wash. They’re available in a range of colors with varying discounts.

This best-selling miracle has saved everything from our couch to our kids’ carseats. The portable design makes it indispensable and it cleans incredibly well without too much elbow grease. Seriously couldn’t imagine life with kids (or pets!) without it. It’s currently the same price as last July’s Prime Day, so if you missed out, now’s your chance.

Knock out two chores at once with the highly-rated Bissell Crosswave Pet Pro. The wet dry vacuum does a number on everything from pet hair to spills in one fell swoop. One disgusting yet satisfying empty of the tank and you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.

I’ve got a full collection of Yeti insulated cups and this one sees more use than any. In addition to keeping things cold or hot for hours (seriously ice lasts overnight!), I love the generous but not insane size and the fact it fits comfortably in the car cup holders. They’re a great teacher gift too!

If you don’t have to clean unidentified messes off your floor at least twice a day, are you even a parent? Swiffer has our hearts because they make it so easy to freshen up in a flash. The wireless PoweMop can tackle both tile and wood and saves all the trouble of hauling out a bucket or even an electric mop that needs to be plugged in. The kit includes the PowerMop Spray Mop, two Mop Pad Refills, one Floor Cleaning solution with Fresh Scent, and two batteries.

With over 229K 5-star reviews and at the price of less than a latte, this satin pillowcase is a no brainer. It’s superb for both hair and skin and keeps up with styles we’ve paid a whole heck of a lot more for. Snap up a few to make guests feel fancy or stash some as stocking stuffers!
