Whether you’re holding out for Cyber Monday Toys R Us toys deals or prefer shopping at other big names like Walmart, Kohl’s or Best Buy, we’ve got you covered with this ultimate guide to holiday toy must-haves.

Toys for Babies and Toddlers

These top toys for your littlest ones promote learning through play and feature beloved characters like Doc McStuffins, Mickey Mouse and Thomas the Tank Engine! Find awesome toys for girls and boys who love to build or the best learning tablets to make the most out of screen time. Or, if you prefer no screen time at all but love the idea of interactive learning, the Smart Toy Bear is perfect. Flexing their muscles is just as important as exercising their minds. Encourage movement and time outdoors with a super cool Thomas Tricycle.

Toys for Tweens and Teens

Choosing top toys for older kids can seem a little more difficult but it helps to stay on top of what’s popular in their worlds. The release of Star Wars: Episode VII is bringing about some coveted The Force Awakens toys for boys and girls who are just discovering this timeless franchise. Popular Netflix kids’ shows like Project Mc2 also have a line of toys sure to fly off the shelves. Don’t forget about Barbie! She always has new accessories that Barbie-loves can’t resist, like her Saddle ‘N Ride Horse. The hottest video games are always an easy win when it comes to putting smiles on little faces come Christmas morning. Guitar Hero is making a comeback with a new release and Lego video games are as popular as ever.

The Best Cyber Monday Shopping Strategies

Cyber Monday is just around the corner! ‘Tis the season for unbeatable sales, the best deals of the year and of course, online shopping in your pajamas. Cyber Monday is a fairly recent construct that originated about 10 years ago after market research determined that the Monday following Thanksgiving was one of the most popular online shopping days of the year. Maneuvering through the incredible array of Cyber Monday sales can be a bit overwhelming without the perfect online shopping plan in place. Never fear! We want to make sure this Cyber Monday is your best yet. So, kick off your holiday shopping season right and check out some of our favorite tips for saving big this Cyber Monday!

1. Have a Game Plan: Before the Cyber Monday deals even start, you need a basic blueprint of who, what and where. Create a comprehensive list of what you want to buy, whether you’re looking to treat yourself or stock up on Christmas gifts for the whole family. Keep track of who you’re shopping for, their top gift ideas and which websites you want to visit. You can use an Excel, type notes in your phone or kick it old school and scribble it down in a notebook. No matter your plan, a clear list will help you stay focused so you don’t get distracted by all the bright and shiny Cyber Monday sales. Side note, don’t limit yourself to just buying holiday gifts. If you see an unbeatable birthday gift for a friend or family member, why not grab it now and save it for later?

2. Know Your Stuff: In order to get the best Cyber Monday deals, you’ll need to do a little research. Do some browsing at your favorite retailers to determine where you’ll find the best online shopping sales on everything from discount electronics to clothes for the whole family. Set yourself apart from amateur online shoppers and be sure to visit Ebates for quick and easy access on Cyber Monday morning. Remember, Cyber Monday is one of the most popular online shopping days of the year, so deals run out fast and furiously. Refer back to your bookmarks throughout the day to stay up to date on the latest and greatest promotions. A little pre-planning is all it takes to take Cyber Monday by storm!

3. Be a Social Butterfly: Scoring the ultimate deal of the day at your favorite retailer means you may need to be in the know regarding their Cyber Monday plans. Start liking your favorite online shopping sites on social media channels including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to get their latest sale announcements and exclusive insider access to any Cyber Monday specials. Be sure to sign up for emails and newsletters for easy access to Cyber Monday news delivered directly to your inbox. Go one step further and create a Cyber Monday folder in your email inbox for super speedy reference if needed.

4. Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe – Comparison Shop ‘Til You Drop: Thankfully, online shopping means you have the freedom to go from here to there in seconds. Keep multiple tabs open in your web browser to quickly compare like items from different retailers to get the best prices. That TV you’ve had your eye on just might be significantly cheaper just a click away, so don’t be afraid to play favorites.

5. Promo Codes Are Your Friend: Take advantage of extra savings thanks to essentials like promo codes, coupon codes and even Cash Back at Ebates. From free shipping offers to an additional percentage off your purchase, retailers may feature more ways to boost Cyber Monday savings so be sure to keep an eye out.

6. Be a Team Player: If you’re online shopping for a number of people, you might consider dividing and conquering your game plan with a trusty family member. Teaming up will help you get the best Cyber Monday deals faster to ensure you don’t miss out. You can divide your list by person or category to knock it out in no time flat.

7. Budget Like Nobody’s Business: We totally get it. All those Cyber Monday deals are super tempting. But, there’s nothing worse than blowing your budget on things you really don’t need. So, keep yourself in check by picking a number and sticking to it. Consider setting aside a little bit of holiday shopping money every month so you’ll have your budget locked when Cyber Monday rolls around. That’ll soften the blow to your overall budget since you already knew it was coming.

8. Chill Out: Just remember that everyone and their dogs are online shopping for the best Cyber Monday sales. Sites could be slower than normal, but stick with it and you’re bound to score some great deals! Be sure to shop from a reliable computer or mobile device that offers a fast and secure Internet connection to limit glitches and save your sanity.

Follow these simple tips to polish your Cyber Monday shopping skills and save like a champ. We’d love to hear from you! What are some of your favorite Cyber Monday online shopping tips? Tell us below.

The Best Things to Buy in November

November may be all about holiday gift shopping but don’t forget that you still have plenty of time to check off your list. In order to stretch your budget as far as it can reach, you may want to jump on certain items this month and leave others for December. Here is our complete guide on the best things to buy in November.

Kitchen Goods – Restock your own cook’s corner or plan gift-buying for all the foodies and chefs on your list this month. Experts report that nearly half of all kitchen sales have featured the lowest prices of the year on top items like Pyrex containers and even KitchenAid mixers.
Stores to watch: Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond.

Major Appliances – Black Friday has been known to feature the hottest appliance sales on items like Dyson vacuums, washers, dryers, dishwashers and refrigerators. However, the entire month of November is fair game. So while you may not be planning to gift an entire washer/dryer unit, you may consider taking this time to upgrade your own.
Stores to watch: Sears, Best Buy.

ToolsTools – Expect to see amazing deals on select hand tools and power drill sets. This is usually typical for the colder months when people are less likely to take on household projects. However, beware. Some purchases may require in-store pickup while others will offer free shipping. Always be clear on the purchase terms before checkout.
Stores to watch: Ace Hardware, Lowe’s.

Tablets – Tap into savings with rock bottom prices on cheap tablets including Android and Windows models. Believe it or not, you may be able to score off-brand Android tablets for as low as $20 and Windows tablets for as low as $45! Want to save even more? Go with a refurbished model. If you’re an Apple user, don’t fret. The iPad mini 4 and iPad Air 2 are projected to drop significantly in price with the upcoming release of the iPad Pro.
Stores to watch: Lenovo, Best Buy.

Clothes – Start shopping for clothes on the Monday before Black Friday to see the most savings on apparel for the whole family. The average clothing sales for this time of year can take off over 50% while some can go as low as 80% off. Also, be on the lookout for clothing coupons that can take up to 60% off.
Stores to watch: Kohl’s, J.Crew.

Video GamesConsole Bundles – Black Friday is slated to bring the best prices of the year on console and game bundles including PlayStation4 and Xbox One. The best bundles will include two free video games normally priced at around $60. If you’re tempted to buy a refurbished console to save money, it may actually be a better deal to go with a bundle so be sure to weigh the costs.
Store to watch: The Hut, Game Stop.

15″ Laptops – Expect to see amazing price drops on big-name laptops that use either Intel’s current generation Core i5 processor or the Broadwell Core i5 CPU. These laptop sales will also extend to generic laptops, however, you may want to opt for higher quality at a great deal. Big names will go for about $300 while bargain bin, 11″ laptops will be as low as $150.
Stores to watch: Kmart, Microsoft Store.

Candy! – Need we remind you that Halloween has passed leaving lonely Halloween candy on shelves just waiting to be eaten? Fill those candy dishes with fun-sized errthang at next to nothing!
