Cheap Gifts for Kids this Christmas that don’t Break the Bank by Johnny Gilbert
Gifts for kids don’t come cheap when you go after the latest in-craze thing. For instance, if an Xbox with Kinect is what a kid really wants to have now, that would be a $320 purchase. You could probably buy three standard kids’ bicycles for that price. Visit any national chain of toy sellers though, Wal-Mart included, and it’s easy to see that your dollar does go somewhat further this year than it did the last, buying great budget toys. You typically get better tech toys than last year for your dollar. This year’s trends includes more affordable toys powered by rechargeable batteries. Let’s look at a great selection of cheap gifts for kids this Christmas that typically don’t exceed $60 in price.
The cool thing about the toys this year is, lots of them connect to the Internet, and they help your child play on the cloud. Two of the most popular online toy websites are Club Penguin and Webkinz. Buying a toy that costs under $10 from a company with an online affiliation to one of these websites, your child gets a secret code. When your child goes online to redeem that code, she’ll get his pick of any two items on the website’s online store. Robotic toys are a real craze this year. And they make great cheap gifts too. For a mere $10, you can buy a little robotic bug like the Hexbug Nano. It’s a cute little critter, it’s durable, and with its little vibrating legs, it can make its way past many kinds of obstacles. It’ll be a great thing for your kid to scare someone with all the time.
For something slightly more educational, consider a musical gift in the Dance Star Mickey toy with Fisher-Price. Do you remember the Elmo Alive doll from last year? It’s kind of the same – it’s a foot-high animatronic puppet that can dance and play a few games. For something really educational though, you can consider one of a wide variety of toys that help your child make the most of the work done at school. For instance, Hasbro’s $38 Alphie (yes, a resurrection from the past), is a robot with a set of quizzes (with answers), and a bunch of smart alec replies when a child gets it wrong. To get really educational for real, you could try cheap gifts for kids like Hasbro’s Scrabble Flash. It’s a very entertaining set of little LCD screens that display any letter a kid chooses. Kids can use them to form words for a quick spelling game. It’s great fun.
