2015 Holiday Gift Guide: 10 Awesome Educational Toys

Kicking Off the Gift Guide Fun with Educational Toys!

Okay, now that I’ve shared my secret Christmas shopping strategy, let’s get shopping!  My favorite thing to shop for on that Christmas shopping list is the educational toy.  I’m sort of a geek mom that way.  What can I say – I love when my kids get some learning from their gifts, too.  Here are some awesome educational toy choices for you to consider, too…

Find Great Deals on Everything on Your List with CyberMonday.com!

I’m really excited to share another holiday season secret with you… CyberMonday.com!   CyberMonday.com compiles all the sales and deals for top retailers in one place saving you time, money and energy this holiday season.  No need to rush from store to store. CyberMonday.com puts coupon codes, limited time offers and special saving opportunities from over 800 online stores all in one spot so you can get to the deals from the comfort of your couch with a mug of hot chocolate!

I especially love that CyberMonday.com even breaks deals down into gift categories.  For example, I hovered over “CATEGORIES”, hovered over “BABIES, KIDS, & TOYS”, then clicked on “TOYS & GAMES” to find all of the best retailers.  Then I narrowed it down even more by clicking on “LEARNING & EDUCATION” to find specific gifts.

Once I clicked on a gift, like the Uncle Milton Giant Ant Farm, CyberMonday.com shows me the retailers carrying it and which one has the best price.  Awesome, right?! 

But if you still love the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deal hunting fun, CyberMonday.com will be featuring a Deal of the Hour on its front page on Black Friday and Cyber Monday highlighting a different retail promotion every 60 minutes.  Again, right from your cozy home!  They will even send you emails for the best deals.  Just enter your email address at the bottom of the CyberMonday.com website and click ‘Submit’, it’s easy peasy.
