This is my FAVORITE pan. You can literally cook anything in it.

But seriously, I gave you the heads up on the Fingerlings last year (even earlier than September I think!), and there were still people scrambling and stalking Toys 'r Us (guess you won't be doing that this year womp womp) the week before Christmas. So this year, just listen to me ;) 

Some of these prices do look high, but if you're willing to do a little legwork, here's what I would do:
If there's something you definitely want, buy it now. Check the return policy, and watch the price. You can always repurchase and return within that time period. OR, if it's something you're going to end up getting no matter what, weigh your options-- $49.99+ free shipping now, or $39.99 with $17 of rush shipping later haha Your choice ;)

​Below, in no particular order, are some top toy ideas.
What are you buying?
What are you waiting on?
​What are you praying your child won't want? ;)

​furReal Munchin’ Rex
I'm sensing a dino theme here... This guy is pretty cute. (And I safely say that knowing my kids are too old for it ?)

What's That Smell-- The Party Game That Stinks
This board game looks, well, disgusting. But kids like disgusting. Kids *are* disgusting. Remember all the disgusting fun they had with BeanBoozled? Gross. This appears to come with scratch and sniff clues. Fun fun!

​Don't Step In It - Unicorn Edition
While we're talking about gross board games-- Don't Step In It is literally described as "blindfolded, poop-dodging fun". If that wasn't enough side eye for you, let's glam it up with unicorns! This is an Amazon exclusive, or you can find the original at Target.

Little Live Scruff-A-Luvs
Ok this sounds a little backwards: Instead of coming to you fluffy and soft, and slowly getting matted and tattered, this stuffed animal arrives all crumpled and matted, and you nurture it to full beauty. As ridiculous as this is, it's kinda cute. After all, it's like rescuing a puppy (or having a baby? haha too far?)!

Pomsies
Another 'alive' animal. Personally, I have enough humans to feed and generally keep alive, but these are cute and fluffy. And so many color options! I have no intel on what the hot colors will be, so I'd go with your child's favorite, and hope for the best ;)
