I know it's only October (and early October at that), but if you're shopping for kids this holiday season, now is when I start paying attention. Keeping up with the latest toys is practically a sport and some of the things kids will be asking for this year are already selling out, before most of us have even started making our Christmas lists.
Case in point: The infamous, now-elusive StickerBox by Hapiko. The little AI-powered sticker printer might be the toy of the 2026 holiday season, if you can get your hands on it. It's currently unavailable on Amazon and shipping is weeks out direct at StickerBox. But, there are still plenty of other buzzy toys you can grab for less during Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days.
If the toy of the year isn't the StickerBox,
my money (literally) is on this3D printer for kids from ToyBox. It takes all the fun and creativity of the 3D printer that you're obsessed with and puts it in a kid-friendly format for them to create new toys all year long. And it's $56 off during Amazon's sale, which ends today and marks the last big sale before Black Friday.
