If you’re still looking for some last minute gift ideas for kids, you’re pretty much down to the wire. Yes, even with more than a week remaining before Christmas, many stores sold out of the most popular gift ideas awhile back.
Fortunately, I’ve got a list of gift ideas for kids – 10 things you can still buy that cover a wide range of interests. Plus, some of these items are also offering special discounts for a limited time, including Gymboree, where everything costs $14.99 or less and ships for free, and Little Passports, where you can save 15% off a subscription.

Little Passports
Give the gift of adventure with a monthly subscription box from Little Passports! Kids love getting boxes addressed directly to them, and with Little Passports, they’ll receive an age-appropriate, educational and fun box every month. You can buy subscriptions paid monthly, for six months or for a whole year.
Monthly subscriptions start at $15.95 plus $3 shipping, and for a limited time, you can save 15% off any subscription with Little Passports coupon code JOLLY. For very young kids, ages 3 to 5, the Early Explorers Little Passports edition starts with an introductory pack which includes a wall-sized world map, 20-page activity book, luggage tag, stickers, wall decal and adorable orange carry case. Each monthly package explores a new theme and comes with a new activity book, souvenirs, flashlight adventures, stickers and wall decals.
Little Passports World Explorers (for ages 6 to 10) and USA Explorers (for older kids) also start with exciting introductory boxes, then move on to thrilling monthly boxes with new themes every month along with related goodies such as maps, photos, souvenirs and activity sheets.
Star Wars
Grown-ups aren’t the only ones with Star Wars fever these days. Many kids (including my 6-year-old daughter) are all about Star Wars and have asked Santa for numerous items related to “a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…” Here’s a great list of Star Wars merchandise to consider in your search for the perfect fan gift.
Minecraft
Minecraft remains an enormously popular video game played by kids and teenagers (and even some grown-ups). This list of Minecraft gift ideas will help you find the perfect gift for that Minecraft fan on your list.
Personalized Books
Mabel’s Labels recently launched their new line of personalized books based on popular movie and TV characters. You can make a custom book about a special child woven around characters from Frozen, Paw Patrol, Disney Cars, Sofia the First, Spider-Man, Mickey Mouse and Ballerina Barbie.
Kid-Sized Jewelry
Soufeel makes an assortment of charm bracelets with cute charms with a variety of themes to interest any little girl. Plus, the bracelets come in sizes small enough to fit little arms so they won’t fall off.
LEGO Airjitzu
One of LEGO’s newest additions is their Airjitzu flyers, which kids will have fun assembling and then enjoy flying. They’re a blast to assemble and their zip lines make them fly through the air, much to kids’ delight.
Olivia Clothing & Accessories from Gymboree
Gymboree recently launched their adorable line of clothing and accessories based on the popular children’s show character Olivia. Plus, for a limited time, everything at Gymboree.com is priced at $14.99 or lower, with free shipping, too!
Cool Collecting
For kids who show an interest in science and/or collecting, consider looking into rock collecting as a possible hobby. You can easily set up a kid for embarking on an enjoyable and educational rock collecting hobby. It costs only a few dollars to get started, and it’s also a fairly cheap hobby to maintain over the years.
LEGO Sorter
Kids who build a lot of creations with LEGO blocks may become frustrated with trying to keep track of the various sizes of LEGOs. Box4Blox offers a solution with their LEGO sorter, which kind of works like a coin sorter for LEGO blocks.
Movie Madness
Two fantastic family movies are available now on home video – Inside Out and the Minions movie. I enjoyed both of these films, and Minions have been wildly popular with kids since their debut in the first Despicable Me movie. The cute little yellow characters with their unique language and well-intentioned bumbling easily carry their own movie.
