Best Gifts for Kids Under $25
Kids are easy to find gifts for, because there are tons of companies out there making stuff just for them, but it's always great to have solid ideas. Squishmallows are big now, and a Pikachu Squishmallow is sure to be a hit for the enthusiast in your life, and the Fisher-Price Laugh and Learn puppy is a fantastic way to get very young kids on the right track with learning.
Speaking of learning, magnetic tiles are a great way to get kids experimenting, building all kinds of geometric shapes and structures freely and easily. Plus, everyone loves magnets. That's just a fact.
LEGO Kits and Crystal and Rock Polishing Craft Sets
LEGO kids are always awesome, and baby Grogu and his caretaker, the Mandalorian Din Djarin, are fan favorites. This kit, which includes them and the new ship, an N-1 Starfighter, which is a great way for Star Wars fans (young or old) to have some fun.
You can also grab fun science sets, which are great for older kids, letting rock enthusiasts grow their own crystals, or polish rocks to a fine sheen, revealing the gems within.
Books and Movies
Tim Burton's incredibly popular The Nightmare Before Christmas is a great film, and super fun to watch any time between now and the end of the year. This version is the Ultimate Collector's Edition and includes a 4K UHD version, a Blu-Ray version, and a digital code, along with deleted scenes, commentary, and tons more.
You can also grab a hardcover copy of Stephen King's latest novel, Holly, and the Britney Spears biography, The Woman In Me, which covers her life and career more openly than ever before.
Other Gifts Under $25
If you are anything like my wife and I, you love a great cup of coffee, but even if you don't partake, having a great tumbler is a great way to enjoy your favorite beverages, staying caffienated, hydrated, and all of that good stuff. Hydration is also key when being active, and a new Spalding basketball is a great way to do that.
Know someone who is planning to have visitors for the holidays? Do them a solid and get them a Queen-sized inflatable air mattress and make the season a bit happier. Or just get one for yourself. I did, and it's made it far easier to accommodate friends and family.
