What a year! The holidays are finally here! And while we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time, shipping times are especially tricky this year, so we suggest shopping as early as you can.
Stock and shipping times can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. So order earlier than you think you need to and be sure to double-check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for when you need it.
1. A purse pet aka an interactive pet full of ~purse-onality!~ It has 25 sounds and reactions and actually blinks, blows kisses, and responds to questions. Perfect for the chic and sassy child...who obviously takes after their aunt or uncle.
2. A light-up scooter with 10,000 5-star reviews (!!!) outfitted with over 100 LED lights that'll appeal to flashy little daredevils who would love nothing more than to zip around the block and show off stunts. The best part? It's under $30!
3. And an adorable, inflatable unicorn ride on boasting a washable plush cover that'll have little dudes and divas looking so precious, they'll melt your heart as they bounce around the house on it.
4. A 21-piece Disney princess trunk with four enchanting outfits and matching royal accessories. Why settle for one princess when you can dress up as Aurora, Belle, Cinderella, *or* Snow White — whatever suits your highness's fancy that day.
5. A Pop2Play foldable indoor slide that pops up in minutes to instantly transform any room into a playground that screams "FUN" — without needing to spend a huge chunk of change.
6. Pixicade mobile game maker to turn screentime into a creative STEM activity by letting kids turn their own drawings and concepts into playable video games (build up to 1,600 video games). They can sketch the game on paper, snap a pic of it, and then play an animated version on their phone or tablet.
7. An opulent My Little Pony Castle with two actual moving zip lines. Just attach the included Princess Petals pony and her puppy, Cloudpuff, figures to the zip lines. Then send them racing from the tallest tower in the castle down to make a grand entrance.

14. A Crayola light board to help budding artists see their imagination come to life just like an immersive Van Gogh exhibit.
