Look, every once in a while, even Santa needs a helping hand.
It’s easy to let things slip around the holidays; there’s more on our to-do list in December than perhaps any other time of year. Sometimes, that’s ok: letting the holiday cookie-baking marathon wait until next year, or skipping out on caroling to grab a much-needed post-work nap.
Others, like waking up on Christmas Eve and realizing you forgot to check “toy shopping” off your list, are more difficult to forgive.
Luckily, this week, Amazon is rolling out their Very Merry Deals event, offering savings on everything from Nespresso machines to Roombas. Plus, for those 18-and-under who likely wouldn’t be thrilled to open up a robot vacuum on Christmas morning, there’s doorbuster deals on toys.
Below, we’ve rounded up twelve of our favorite toy deals from Amazon’s Very Merry Deals event, suitable for a variety of ages.
Read on, click through, and check a few boxes off of your list.
