MOOKS: Any good deals today on gifts for older kids?

[ohgillian]

Amazon has some lego deals but I just cannot deal with another lego entering this house: www.amazon.com/deal/f92d526d/?_encoding=UTF8&showVariations=true&pd_rd_i=B085884CPD&pd_rd_w=6eFDh&content-id=amzn1.sym.9bb2a21e-f7f6-4a37-a02f-5ec1d2782101&pf_rd_p=9bb2a21e-f7f6-4a37-a02f-5ec1d2782101&pf_rd_r=KRZ0J0TV1DZ3SGN04HYV&pd_rd_wg=6NpUw&pd_rd_r=6a641831-76dc-4aa2-96e0-500dead0fbbd

Various Echo devices are on sale including Dot Kids. I might get a Kids one for my 10 YO but want to figure out the difference in the Kids and Regular; my 13 YO has a regular, not-kids one: www.amazon.com/All-New-release-Designed-parental-controls/dp/B09B9CD1YB/ref=sr_1_9?crid=1FV5R6FJ4YJL7&keywords=echo&qid=1696948374&sprefix=echo%2Caps%2C108&sr=8-9


    ETA that Topcashback also has 8% back at Amazon on purchases of amazon devices like the echo. I assume everyone's already signed up but if not I can drop a referral link in.

I bought DS a swim parka: www.amazon.com/dp/B008ZEEDBA?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
Speedo brand on sale.

Following for other deals (I swear I don't have the patience for sifting through the non-deals....I bought curtains a couple weeks ago that are labeled a prime day deal and they're $9 more than I paid).

I got a 3D Pen, a new Switch controller, a huge set of alcohol markers that she loves but only has a small set, and a Magic 8 ball.

I put things in my cart a few days ago that my kids are hoping for and naturally none of it is a deal. Bummer.

Airpod pros are $189 on Amazon and Walmart, target is $199 but ends up same price if you have red card. Still pricey but cheaper than normal.

Oh thanks! I needed to size my oldest up in her parka!

I can’t list off the differences, but know that the kids one can be made a not kids one in your device settings. So, you can get the cute owl one and have it work normally.

It came with a trial of Amazon Kids and I think it blocks some content. Our kid doesn’t use it anymore after the changes Amazon made with the music not having custom playlists in Prime without paying more. A few nights it changed from lullabies to rock music, woke her up and freaked her out. I think maybe I just got an email saying you can make custom lists again, but I haven’t looked into it.

My older kid is into D&D and there were some books on Amazom Prime sale that the Slickdeals commenters said were good. I picked up 2 for Christmas.

What a great idea!  I bet my daughter might like something like that. Actually, DH and I would probably like it, too. Maybe I should get some for the whole family.

DD (10) has one and enjoys it!
