Last Minute Christmas Gift Ideas

In full disclosure, I’m a mom of boys – four of them, and as such I’m a little rusty on shopping for girls. All of these gifts are things my boys (ranging from little tyke to pre-teen) have or want – so I know they’ll be a hit with your kids, nieces, nephews, grandkids, etc.

At time of writing all these last minute Christmas gift ideas were available for shipping to arrive in time for Christmas. Many were on sale and eligible for free shipping with Super Saver or Prime.

Wooden puzzles are our top pick. They hold up against the boys better then cardboard ones. They also can become pieces to pass down because of their longer lifespan.
