Happy Monday! It’s had to believe that we have about 2 1/2 weeks until Christmas. I hope everyone is wrapping up their shopping (no pun intended, though…I like it). But, I’m sure some people are still looking at fairly long lists. So, I compiled a list of affordable gift ideas for kids that are all $40 or under on Amazon.
If you have finished shopping, don’t forget to hit the after Christmas sales, and start preparing for next year’s birthdays and holiday season! To learn more about my gift-giving strategies, check out parts 1 and 2 of my gift giving guide, and learn about the #1 thing you need to do while you shop.

I don’t have any kids in my life to buy gifts for this year, but these ideas look like so much fun! I have pretty much finished all my Christmas shopping now – I agree it’s so important to order early to make sure things arrive in time for Christmas!
Congrats on being done with your shopping! It’s a great feeling isn’t it?
