I haven’t been in the US to take advantage of Cyber Monday deals in over 4 years, so I’ve been purchasing Christmas gifts online since we will be here for Christmas! There is just so much variety here that it’s really hard to decide!
Rock tumbling kit – This has been on my wishlist for a while because my kids love rocks! It’s a lightning deal right now for $46.39, regularly priced $59.99, and it’s 99% claimed!
1166 Building Bricks – Legos are expensive and my kids still love them, so this set is a great addition to our collection. This lightning deal is 92% claimed and has 3 hours left on it! It’s $21.99, regularly priced $29.99.
Amscope Beginner Microscope – All the beginner microscopes have mixed reviews, but this one is a bargain currently on sale for $29.99. If my kids really get into it, I will invest in a better one next year!
Slides – Of course you need slides to go with a microscope! I still remember how amazing it was to look at slides in elementary school.
Snapcircuits – I’ve wanted to purchase this STEM toy forever, and everyone I know that has it raves about it! Charlie and Olive are 8 and almost 10 so they are a great age for it. It’s currently $65.99 on Amazon, but I purchased it yesterday as a Deal of the Day for $52.
Echo Dot – Mr. Bee has been wanting to get the kids a smart speaker for a while because it can be a great educational tool. The Echo Dot is on sale for $22 today so I ordered one! I’m debating whether to order a second one because you can use them as intercoms.
Harry Potter Invisibility Cloak – I actually got this for Charlie’s birthday next week, but I’m sharing it since it’s a Cyber Monday deal for $54.99, regularly $79.95. Charlie is the biggest Harry Potter fan! This cloak works like a green screen and with an app on your phone, you can make whoever is wearing the cloak disappear. My Harry Potter and magic loving son is going to love this!
Five Crowns & Quiddler – We love to play board games, but I was looking for something compact we could take with us when we travel. We’ve gotten endless hours of play with Uno, but the kids are older now and ready for more advanced games. I picked up Five Crowns which is a rummy style game for kids 8+, and Quiddler which is a word game for kid 6+.
Dogman Fetch 22 – This book comes out on December 10th and will definitely be part of their Christmas gift. I will probably add some more books, but Christmas 2019 is done!

Are you getting anything this Cyber Monday? What are you eyeing for Christmas gifts for your kids?

I just recently jumped on the Echo/Alexa wagon and I ordered another one today too with the Alexa smart plug!

Love Snap Circuits! Definitely get one of the bigger kits. They do a ton more.
