Christmas Gifts for Kids – Black Friday Deals by Age

If you are buying kids’ gifts this week, start with the items that are already discounted and age-appropriate, not with a hope that a sold-out toy will be cheaper on November 27. On November 10, 2026, we have Melissa & Doug toddler toys at about 30% off, LEGO sets from $10.39 to the mid-$60s, Nike Big Kids Dunk Lows at $50.97 against $92, and Old Navy kids’ clothing down as much as 70–80% from the compare-at price. Those prices are already in the range many families wait for Black Friday to see.

Last updated November 10, 2026. Prices in the tables come from our deal listings, checked that day on the retailer page unless a note says otherwise. We re-opened product pages at Lodge, Parachute, Stanley, Rothy’s, Ooni, Eddie Bauer and Melissa & Doug the same afternoon to confirm the featured figures. Walmart, Costco, Kohl’s, Lowe’s, Nike, Dyson, Ulta and LEGO blocked or did not return a usable product page from our network, so those prices stay as recorded on the Nov 10 listings. New wedding and gift listings added later on November 10 were read from the retailers’ product feeds that afternoon. Retailers change prices without notice. Confirm at checkout.

Browse the collections – wedding deals, Christmas gift deals, kids, for her, for him, teens, mom, dad, the home, stocking stuffers, and gifts under $25, $50 and $100.

When to buy a toy in November, and when to wait

LEGO is the clearest case for buying now. Several sets on our LEGO Black Friday 2026 guide are already 20–40% below LEGO’s compare-at prices, including the Christmas Table Decoration (40743) at $23.99 against $39.99. That set is only useful if it arrives before you decorate. Waiting until Cyber Monday on November 30 is cutting it short if you need it for December 1.

We are not going to tell you that ‘hot toys always drop 40% later’ or that they never do. We simply do not have verified November 10 prices for Magna-Tiles, a Barbie Dreamhouse or similar catalog hits, so they are not in this guide. If a toy on your child’s list is still at full price everywhere you can check, it can be worth watching through the week of the 27th. If the set you want is already at a price you would pay, buy it, especially when the color or boxed set tends to sell out.

Under 3 – push toys, plush and first clothes

Melissa & Doug’s First Play Ring and Ding Forest Friends push toy is $52.49 against $74.99, and we confirmed that price on the manufacturer’s product page on November 10. The K’s Kids Turtle Ball Pit is $84.99 against $120.99. These are floor toys, not stocking stuffers. Gap’s baby TinyRib footed one-piece at $17 and Old Navy’s toddler leggings at $4.97 are the cheaper add-ons.

Ages 3–5 – pretend play and first LEGO

The Fun at the Fair play tent is $56.99 against $84.99, again confirmed on Melissa & Doug’s site. LEGO Bluey’s Family House (10459) is $48.99 against $69.99, and Mini Disney Ariel’s Castle (40708) is $27.99 against $39.99. Those two sit in the age range LEGO prints on the box for younger builders. They are not the same as an 18+ botanical set. Old Navy’s toddler-girl leggings 4-pack at $10.47 against $35.99 is a useful clothes gift if you know the size.

Ages 6–8 – bigger builds, branded play and sneakers

The Melissa & Doug PAW Patrol wooden activity center is $150.59 against $214.99, which is a lot of money for one gift. It only belongs here if that is already the big present. Less expensive options in this age band include LEGO Travel Boat Adventure (42664) at $52.49, the Arcade Machine (40805) at $31.99, and small bag gifts such as Eeyore (40797) at $10.39. Nike Court Borough Low Recraft Big Kids’ shoes are $37.97 against $69, and the Nike x LEGO oversized hoodie is $39.97 against $60.

Ages 9–12 – bigger LEGO, bigger sneakers

The Nike Air Max 95 x LEGO Big Kids’ shoes are $90.97 against $162, one of the larger kid-sneaker cuts in our catalog. Dunk Low Big Kids’ shoes are $50.97 against $92, and Air Force 1 Big Kids’ shoes are $55.97 against $100. We could not reload Nike’s product pages from our network today, so those figures are from our November 10 listings. Confirm size and color stock on Nike.com. LEGO Enchanted Flying Ford Anglia (76470) is $63.99 against $79.99, and The Goblet of Fire Figures (40791) is $39.99 against $49.99, both better as gifts for a kid who is already in that theme.

A seasonal LEGO set with a deadline

Ages are our grouping from the kind of toy or the ‘Big Kids’ / toddler label on the listing, not a substitute for the age printed on a LEGO box. Check the set number before you buy. All of these listings, plus any we add later, are in the Christmas gifts for kids category. Teens are on a separate guide.
