Get ready, Black Friday is here!!! Actually, it’s more like Black Friday week, because deals started really early! I dove head first into the list of thousands and thousands of items this year (phew, there was a lot to look at!). Then, I pulled out only the best. Are there lots of new and shiny things? Yes. Will we want to buy all of them? Yes. But is what we really want items that our kids will use for the long-haul? Also, yes!
Well, I’ve done the heavy lifting for you. So, take a look through to find some of our favorites and a few new toys that everyone is talking about! And, if you are looking for stocking stuffers, look no further! I’ve got you covered. Click on the photos below to see stocking stuffer ideas for babies all the way through big kids!

The Best Black Friday Deals
I’m going to break this down into a few categories to make it a bit easier for you to sort through. Check them all out below and Happy Shopping!
LEGOS
We are all about Legos in my household. The boys could (and do) literally play with them for hours on end. They love getting new sets and build them immediately! But, they also love to free play with the extra pieces to create their own masterpieces. I have been so impressed with some of the things that they have come up with! Check out some of the best Lego Sets on sale this Black Friday. Be sure to snag a few of the festive sets too!
Tech Toys
This category includes all of those toys that require batteries, charging, or some form of Wi-Fi to enjoy. While we may not be a ‘technology family’ a few self-moving toys can be fun to use on occasion. Here are a few that your kiddos may love!
Games
Games are a great way to work together, learn critical thinking skills, and practice losing. As hard as it may be, losing is a really important skill to practice. So, grab a few of the games on sale this Black Friday!
Gross Motor Toys
In this category you’ll find all of those toys that work the large muscle groups. Gross motor skills are so incredibly important and with the huge surge in technology, kids are inside much more than they ever have been. That means a lack of gross motor development. Do your kiddo a favor and check out some of the fabulous finds for Black Friday.
Building and Imaginative Toys
Building toys are just the best. They are working those fine motor skills all while problem solving, being creative, and sharing (if they have siblings). Those are just a few of the reasons that we love them in our home. And Magna-Tiles is top notch. There are all sorts of other magnetic tile brands, but Magna-Tiles really are the cream of the crop. And when a toy can double as an imaginative experience, well that’s just icing on the cake! Here are a few of our favorites on sale this Black Friday.
Real World Toys and Arts & Crafts
What better way to practice real life skills than with toys?! I am all about National Geographic. They have some fabulous sets to get those curious minds thinking and keep the littles engaged. And I am pretty sure that arts & crafts are my love language (if that’s a thing). I could literally craft allllll day! The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, because my kiddos love it too! Check out some of the best things on sale this Black Friday.
Home & Comfort Gifts
There really is no place like home. Here are a few fun things on sale this Black Friday to make it just a bit cozier!
Gifts for You!
This section is all for you, Mamas! When the holidays come, we often find that the moms have poured weeks and weeks (if not months) into finding the perfect gifts for everyone on their list. But have you noticed that when Christmas morning rolls around, moms are also the people to get the least? Not that quantity matters, the point is that we lose sleep over finding all of those gifts to put under the tree and we are, typically, the ones who can feel like an afterthought. Have you seen the ‘I got a robe’ Christmas Morning SNL skit? If you haven’t, I highly recommend looking it up. I watch it every year and it always has me in tears!
Make sure that there are a few fun things for you to open on Christmas morning, because you are special too! There is no rule about buying gifts for yourself, so go crazy! Treat yourself this season with a few upgrades that are sure to make life easier and more pleasant in the New Year.
Happy Shopping!

And don’t forget to snag a few upgrades for yourself! Deals like this don’t come along often.
