Last Minute Christmas Gift Ideas for Kids #ListToppers

Have you finished your Christmas shopping? If not, we’re here to help with some last minute gift ideas. This post is sponsored, so extra thanks for sharing.

Last Minute Christmas Gift Ideas

I spent the entire weekend cleaning and Christmas shopping!

This year I was partially organized and did some of my shopping ahead of time online and caught some awesome Black Friday deals at Sears including these gorgeous Christmas dresses my for girls.

But I still had a bunch of gifts left to purchase.

So this weekend I looked to my gift guide lists that we’d shared with you and reviewed others such as Mattel’s #ListToppers (which I’ll include for you below) and I reread the wish list my girls made from the Great Big Toys”R”Us Book of Awesome.

Do your kids make Christmas wish lists? Do they love browsing through toy catalogues and picking out their favorites? My girls faces lit up with excitement when they saw this year’s Great Big Toys“R”Us Book of Awesome. #AwesomeMoment #ToysRUs #Christmas #christmasshopping #wishlist #sponsored

And then I hopped in the car and headed to the mall with my first stop being Toys”R”Us.

Now I can officially say that I am done my Christmas shopping. (I might end up picking up a couple more things in the next few days, but I’ve got all the main presents bought.)

It makes me a bit nervous typing up what my girls are getting for Christmas since they both can read and often see this blog…

But I’ll risk it and tell you one of the gifts they’ll be most excited about. It’s a toy I would have LOVED to have as a little girl myself.

Saddle ‘N Ride Barbie

Saddle N Ride Barbie

My girls love horses – especially after becoming hooked on the Heartland TV show – so they will adore this Barbie and fabulous horse.

I can only imagine how much I would have played with this Saddle ‘N Ride Barbie when I was a child!!!

Saddle ‘N Ride Barbie is on many top toy lists this year, including Mattel’s #ListToppers.

Shop for it in Canada here and shop for it in the US here.

Practical Stocking Stuffer Ideas

I usually leave most of my stocking stuffer purchases to the last minute.

Practical presents that are inexpensive and you’d need to purchase anyway make fantastic filler for stockings.

Here are ten practical and easy ideas for BOYS OR GIRLS stocking stuffers:

  1. Deck of Cards
  2. Mini Flashlight
  3. Set of Marbles
  4. Character Toothbrush
  5. Character Bandaids
  6. Classic Game of Jacks
  7. Mini Calendar
  8. Books
  9. Bookmarks
  10. Water Bottle

And ten extra ideas for GIRLS stocking stuffers… (I find that most stocking stuffers that work for boys also are great for girls. But here are a few more ideas if you have really girly girl girls like I have. LOL)

  1. Lip Balm
  2. Nail Polish
  3. Headbands or Hair Accessories
  4. Fun Patterned Tights or Leggings
  5. Hairbrush
  6. Stickers
  7. Makeup
  8. Mini Purse
  9. Dress up Accessories
  10. Bracelet

Plus I always like to put a Mandarin orange in the toe of the stocking. It was a tradition for me growing up… I always wonder if other people do that too.

    My family can’t afford to pay for expensive gifts for our kids for Christmas this year, so these ideas will make it easier for us to know what we can give to them. My sons have always liked bandaids, marbles, and stickers. Getting a few smaller items that they can play with will give them multiple gifts that they could be happy with. Thanks for posting this!
