Inside: Parents can save money Christmas shopping in July with Amazon’s Prime Day deals. Use this list of the most perfect kids’ gifts so you know what to grab on Prime Day.


So normally, Amazon has their Prime Days in the summer.

But nothing about this year is normal.

So this year, it’s Christmas in October.

Why in the world are we talking about Christmas?

For two reasons.

I love Christmas (said the nice little Jewish girl who celebrates Christmas and Hanukkah).

Pinterest is already showing me reindeer cookies and snowmen countdown clocks and Christmas Kindness Crafts so while I’m decorating for Halloween, I’m humming Christmas carols.

So it’s not my fault I’m already thinking about Christmas.

And two, I start my online holiday shopping early because of two little words…

Prime. Day.

Every year, Amazon celebrates Prime Day where non-Prime members get free shipping and deals on everyday things.

So Santa has started shopping because Santa is on a budget.

Shopping during Prime Day one of the easiest ways to save money Christmas shopping. 

And if you’re anything like me, you also want to get your kids toys and gifts that are worthwhile and hearty and will pique their interest longer than one day in December.

So I gathered all of my most fabulous, favorite kid gifts so you can save money Christmas shopping in October.

And if you’re not a prime member yet, you can sign up for a 30 day FREE Prime trialv to take advantage of all their deals. 

What to shop for now to save money for the holidays in October with Amazon’s Prime Day

Here are a few of our most popular gift guides we use to shop for our kids.

Most of the things on these lists we own or have owned. The rest are currently on our kids’ holiday wish lists.  

We are raising our kids to be kind and so we often read books about kindness and friendship and bullying prevention.
