We’ve come to the final guide of the holiday season. It’s time to fill those stockings and get a few last minute ideas out there. Here are our favorite stocking stuffer and last minute ideas for your holiday shopping list.
Spotify Annual Gift Card
Price: $99
Location: Amazon
The one constant on my teenage daughter’s holiday wish list is a renewal of her annual Spotify subscription, and the easiest (and most economical) way for me to do this is with the $99 Spotify Annual Gift Card. She gets 12 months of music for the price of 10 and I get a very simple, highly sought-after stocking stuffer. – Z.
Charging Dock Station for Nintendo Switch by Klipdasse
Price: $17.96
Location: Amazon
Keeping your Nintendo Joy-Con controllers charged can be a chore, especially when you have holiday company over and decide to engage in a spirited game of Super Mario Party Jamboree. I picked up this charging dock on a whim, and I’ve been blown away by how easily and efficiently it keeps four extra Joy-Cons charged and ready for our spontaneous family gaming sessions. Just plug the charging station into your Switch dock via the external USB port, slot in your Joy-Cons, and the red-to-blue indicator lights let you know when they’re all charged up. – Z.
The [REC] Collection by Shout! Factor
Price: $37.87
Location: Amazon
The only thing I like better than zombies are demons, and the only thing I like better than demons are demons who are also zombies. Across its four-movie arc, the [REC] saga has plenty of demon-zombies, genre-defining found footage filmmaking, wonderfully nuanced characters, and very likely the goriest wedding video ever filmed! Any horror fan worth their salt would be delighted to find The [REC] Collection under their tree on Christmas morning. – Z.
Squishmallow Clue and Monopoly
Price: $50
Location: Amazon
Just as I had my 1990s Beanie Baby obsession, my nine year old daughter has her Squishmallows. As her room is currently carpeted in them, I feel no need to purchase any more for Christmas, but for that Squishmallow obsessed child, these reworkings of classic games are the perfect answer. They are just as cute as you would want them to be, and will be the perfect alternative on Christmas day, to yet another stuffed thing. – S.P
YAHTZEE: Hello Kitty and Friends
Price $29.99
Location: Amazon
For something that has become so ubiquitous in popular culture, there can probably be such a thing as too much Hello Kitty, but for us, this version of Yahtzee is spot on it’s theming. The Hello Kitty and Friends Yahtzee dice game leans heavily on the classic Sanrio character, featuring a collectible dice cup in the shape of Hello Kitty’s head, but the dice incorporate other favorite characters such as Pompompurin, Kuromi, and Cinnamoroll. My kids loved the character play, my middle aged brain was glad that the dice also included numbers! Great for Yahtzee fans, or Hello Kitty fans, and probably a great way to confuse any grandparents willing to play! – S.P
Stratego Classic by Jumbo
Price: $19.99
Location: Target
Stratego is one of those classic games that has stood the test of time while undergoing dozens of reimaginings, updates, and themed releases. So what makes this version stand out? While there is an added, optional, component of battle cards to add sneak attacks and some attack and defence bonuses, the gamplay itself remains true to the original. What has changed is updating the troops to include female soldiers! Women played an important role in the Napoleonic army, and this updated version of Stratego reflects that bringing some lacking representation to the game. – W.J.
Playmobil Pirates: Large Pirate Ship
Price: $99.99
Location: Amazon
Playmobil Pirates is one of the latest additions to the vast lineup of Playmobil toys, and what better way to lead the Pirate vanguard with a Large Pirate Ship!
