As October Prime Day approaches on the 8th, I’m eagerly checking for toy discounts, especially with my growing list of nieces and nephews ranging from newborns to 9-year-olds. In previous years, I’ve snagged great deals like trendy serving bowls for my mom, a portable French press for my partner, and cozy throw pillows for my home. This year, however, my focus is on finding fantastic toy deals that will delight my little relatives.
In past sales, I’ve seen discounts of up to 50% on beloved items like Melissa and Doug wooden playsets and puzzles, and around 20% off popular brands such as Magna-Tiles and Lovevery. If history is any indication, here’s a peek at what I plan to grab if the pricing is right.
Wishlist Items
One item on my wishlist is the Ms. Rachel Wooden Song Peg Puzzle, which is perfect for my young cousins, aged 2 and 3. They adore Ms. Rachel’s content, and I’m particularly interested in her new collaboration with Melissa & Doug. I’m hoping to find some of the delightful wooden sets or the sing-a-long puzzle on sale—fingers crossed they are in stock come October 8, even if it’s just the doll!
Another must-have is the Lovevery Block Set Building Activity Box. Priced at $91, this set is a favorite among parents due to its aesthetic appeal and versatility. It includes builder blocks, a musical instrument set, and reading puzzles, making it easy to incorporate learning into playtime. Friends of mine don’t mind leaving it out for days, as it doubles as decor!
Family Planning Resources
While I’m on the hunt for great deals, I also want to remind everyone about the importance of family planning. For those considering starting a family, you might want to check out options for home insemination with Make a Mom, which offers a unique reusable option. They also provide guidance on how the process works, so you can find out more at How It Works. If you’re interested in connecting with others on similar journeys, consider joining the free Make a Mom Facebook group.
Understanding artificial insemination can be crucial for anyone exploring these options, so you may want to read up on it through this Wikipedia article. Additionally, if you’re seeking more insights related to pregnancy, I recommend visiting Modern Family Blog, which is an excellent resource for those on this journey. And for some maternity outfit inspiration, check out our post on the 14 Best Spring Maternity Dresses — it’s a great way to stay stylish during pregnancy!
As I continue to prepare for this shopping event, I’m hopeful that I’ll find some great toys and gifts for my family while also supporting my friends and community through their own family-building adventures.
