List of Holiday Toy Giveaways

On a tight budget or just feeling lucky.  Try your hand at winning some toys for under your tree this Christmas.  If toys are what you are after, you have come to the right spot.

Entrants have a far better chance of actually winning something on blogs, rather than in the big corporate sweeps, and most blog giveaways offer extra chances to win, such as tweeting about the contest.  I have seen from the drawings I’ve done on my primary blog, that these extra entries really make a big difference. 

To those linking up:

  • Blog giveaways of children’s toys or gift cards that can purchase toys only.
  • Primary entry must not require purchase.
  • Link directly to giveaway

Toy Story 3 Classic Mr. Potato Head just 5 Dollars

The Toy Story 3 Classic Mr. Potato head  is currently just $5 online at Kmart.com.  A great developmental toy, that won’t drive parents crazy.  After all, classic toys have been around so long for a reason…kids like them.

Grab a few more gifts and  use the $5 off $50 coupon code: 5OFF50, pretty much making Mr. Potato Head free.

Fun and Unusual Toys Powered by the Imagination and Energy of Children

I have been scouring the net for some fun toys that are powered by the creativity and energy of kids (no batteries or plugs).  These a good old fashioned child powered toys.  Kazoo Toys in particular had a nice selection, and currently has a sale going on.

These 2 coupon codes are good through November 23rd.
$10 off 50 with coupon code: 10502009
$25 off 100 with coupon code: 251002009

If you are planning a larger purchase this code would be better:
Save 20% on your purchase of $200 or more with Coupon Code: CJ0920 Expires 11/20/09.

Here are my picks:

rody-ride-on-horseThe Original Rody Horse is sort of a cross between a hippity hop ball and a rocking horse. This toy is wonderful for building core strength and sensory integration.  I just got one for my own daughter, for Christmas.  It is recommended for children age 2-5 years.  There is a larger “Rody Max” also available, which can accommodate age 5 to adult.  Rody is made in Italy, so it meets the higher European toy standards.


Rody Ride On Horse

 

groovy-girl-libbi-louie

 

Pictured here is Groovy Girl Libbi & Louie by Manhattan Toy (yes the dog comes with her ).  If you are tired of the suggestive clothing on several popular doll lines, perhaps you would like the “Groovy Girls”.  Their bodies are velour with embroidered features.  Each reasonably priced doll, comes with a complete outfit, and more fashions are available.

 

quercetti-super-saxoflute

 

The Quercetti Super Saxoflute is another Italian made toy that I’ve purchased for my daughter this year. It is made of unbreakable ABS plastic and includes 24 pieces (2 mouthpieces, 2 trumpet ends and 20 twisting tubes). Quercetti also makes several other sets that can combine with this. I feel much more comfortable with toys produced in the EU, over those made in China. Europe is actually stricter about the safety of toys and plastics, than the U.S.

 

 

melissa-doug-treehouseThe Treehouse Playset by Melissa & Doug looks like tons of fun. This wood multi-level treehouse, comes with 2 play figures, a relaxing hammock, porch swing, table with two chairs, playful trap door and pulley-operated systems.

 

melissa-doug-magic-setI also love the Deluxe Magic Set by Melissa & Doug.  This one is far beyond my daughter.  It is recommended for ages 8 and up, but seems like a quality set.

 

I also like the Educo kitchen set offered here, but it can be purchased  for less elsewhere.  All the items above are competetively priced, prior to factoring in the coupon codes, but can of course be found elsewhere as well.  The selection at Kazoo Toys is certainly worth checking out, no matter where you end out making your purchases.

Hot Deals on Step 2 Toys (with free shipping to boot)

 I have found some good deals on Step2 toys, which include free shipping (essential since Step2 toys are often heavy).   

step2_playsetsThe first two bargains I found are directly from the Step2 website.  They currently have the “Fairy Wonderland” wooden playset  marked down from $49.99  to $19.99.  The Step2 site also has a Pirate Ship Playset discounted $52.99  to $26.49. 

 

The rest of the deals are from Meijer.com.  They have several Step2 items on sale or clearance, are currently offering a $10 off coupon code and free shipping on orders over $75.  The discount code is : UPICK09

Two of the play kitchens here are particularly good bargains right now: 

50s_Diner_Play_Kitchen Partytime_kitchenThe 50′s Diner play kitchen $149.99 is priced $125 – $10 (coupon code) = $115 . 

The Lifestyle Party Time Kitchen $159.99 is currently marked $131 – $10 (coupon code) = $121

Considerably less than these play kitchens are priced at most online retailers, most of which are not including free shipping.

step2_treehouseIf you live in an area where your kids can still play outside regularly in the winter months.  You might want to grab the deal on the Naturally Playful Lookout Treehouse $149.99 now at $99 – $10 (coupon code) = $89

 

step2_train_tableMeijer also has a good price on the Step2 Action Train Table reg. $79.99 now $49.00.  You will need to add more to your order to utilize the free shipping discount, but there are many other toys on sale and clearance, as well.  I doubt it will be a problem to find a nice filler item or two.
