Unique gifts for kids

December 13, 2024

🎁 These are way more memorable than a gift card or Robux.

If you ever need space from your little ones, turn on a star projector (30% off, $35). They’ll be over the moon. 🌝
An LCD doodle tablet ($20) is basically a fancier, way cooler Etch-A-Sketch. Click the box for 10% off!
A slime kit ($9) is the perfect gift for a fidgety kid (or adult — I don’t judge).
I used to love these rubber band bracelet kits (18% off). I’m so glad they’re still around.
Minecraft Legos — need I say more?
This DIY kit ($10) keeps ‘em busy making cute mini donuts.
Kinetic sand ($14) is so much fun. Bonus: It’s way easy to clean up.
Indisputable fact: Every girl wants pink hair at some point in her life. This temporary hair chalk ($15) even works on dark hair.
A bath bomb potion kit ($20) is basically a bathtub science lab.

Attention, parents: Facebook Marketplace is a goldmine for deals on kids’ clothes and toys. In the search bar, type in what you need, like “baby gate.” Press enter and hit Notify Me so you’ll know when something pops up. Under Categories, click Free Stuff and check there, too. Remember, free doesn’t always mean safe. Check for recalls.

Cracking the case: You can buy mystery bundles of unclaimed mail starting around $40. The boxes could contain anything from knock-off Chanel bags and fake IDs to total junk. Florida-based Fundelivered has sold over 90,000 bundles in the last three years. I wanted to buy one, but they’re sold out. What a great business idea, right?

I’m here to save you from all the clicks, countdowns and wasted money.

🚗 Amazon now sells cars in 48 cities: Right now, it’s limited to new Hyundai models, but more brands and leasing options are coming to Amazon Autos next year. The price at checkout is what you’ll pay, so no back-and-forth with pushy salespeople. PSA: Don’t drink and shop, because that would be wheelie, wheelie bad.

⚡ Don’t use this Apple charger: Belkin’s BoostCharge Pro magnetic charging power bank contains bisphenol A (BPA). The chemical used in plastics is linked to hormone disruption, fertility issues and even cancer. The warning is buried at the bottom of the fine print nobody reads — that’s why I read it for you!

🛒 AI-tention, shoppers: The Caper Cart is wired with AI-powered cameras and scanners that apply coupons, weigh your produce and pay right from your handlebar. Instacart owns it and paid around $350 million for the tech. If only the carts could return themselves.

🤠 Don’t make me go all Beth Dutton on you: Coming soon to Warner Bros. Discovery, AI-driven ads for shopping while watching. “Shop With Max” identifies products in shows or movies and displays a QR code for you to scan with your phone and buy, buy, buy.

Shop smarter: Try this Google Lens upgrade next time you’re shopping at a store. On Android or iOS, open the Google app, snap a picture of an item on the shelf, and voila!
