Another Lego countdown comin' at ya, but this one's made with Disney lovers in mind. Let Elsa, Tiana, Ariel, Mirabel, Moana and some of their pals (Sven! Pua!) join in on the holiday fun. Build a small scene for each princess — including Ariel's undersea palace — then flip over the box to play the built-in board game with up to five players. Save over 50% and rest easy knowing you won Christmas.
Kids are fascinated by magic — and this spellbinding countdown will teach them 15 new tricks to take to the stage. On the other days, they'll learn how to float coins on water, write secret messages and conduct scientific fun. It's down to an all-time low, just $9 for 24 days of magical merriment.
Assemble a mini puzzle each day, then connect 'em on Christmas Eve to see all 1,000 pieces in their glory. The daily jigsaws are on the smaller side and reviewers say they only take a few minutes to complete, so they won't suck up what little downtime you have this time of year.
"The puzzle pieces are marked on the back so they can be returned to the correct individual box for future use," one reviewer pointed out. Grab it for just $10 — a serious steal in my eyes!
Walker's shortbread cookies are as classic as it gets. Trade Santa-shaped chocolates for 24 buttery delights, everything from the brand's iconic shortbread fingers to chocolate chip and salted caramel squares. Grab it today for 20% and get it by December 1 with Prime.
With great power comes great responsibility — and it's my responsibility to tell everyone I know about this epic advent calendar. Throughout the 24 days, young Lego builders (ages 7 and up) can recreate some of their favorite Spider-Man scenes with iconic set pieces (like Peter Parker's desk) and Marvel's finest dressed in their holiday best. It's a no-brainer for Spider-Man fans, especially since it's down to just $31 right now.
Cozy up with a cup of tea each night. You'll get 24 different flavors in this countdown — ranging from earthy greens to fruity herbal blends. Another plus: "This one is compact and easy to hang up in your kitchen or in a pantry cabinet," one routine buyer wrote. Get it for just $15 — and grab one for your tea-loving pal while it's on sale.
It's ofishial: This advent calendar is perfect for anglers of all ages. Once the 24 days are up, they'll have a collection of fishing lures for all, er, fishy situations, from topwaters for catching bass and trout to spoons that are specifically for deeper dives. Get it for 20% off during Black Friday.
Cheese and crackers! Bluey was recently named the most-watched show in the U.S. in 2024, which comes as no surprise to the kids (and parents) who love it so. If it's on repeat in your house, then lean into the fun with this themed calendar.
Bluey, Bingo and the rest of their crew will take young (and old) readers on an adventure (make that two dozen adventures) in the lead-up to Christmas. There are 24 mini books in total — a mix of short stories, coloring pages and kid-friendly activities. A countdown that convinces them to read during winter break? It doesn't get much better than that — well, it does because it's also nearly 30% off for a limited time.
No bells, whistles or Santa-shaped chocolates here. Nope, just a treemendous tannenbaum decked out with 24 colorful ornaments and a gold star on top. This Melissa & Doug favorite has racked up thousands of five-star reviews, with one writing that it's "terrific for practicing fine motor skills."
Everything's magnetic, so you don't have to worry about losing any of the baubles as Christmas draws near. Plus, the base of the tree doubles as a storage space for the extras. Snag it now for nearly half off and revel in its magic during future Christmases.
