Last Minute Toys for Christmas

The time to shop for Christmas is quickly drawing to a close. However, if you hurry you can win last-minute toys!

I know that there are a few last-minute shoppers out there. After taking a quick poll at my part-time job the other day it seems like I am the only one who has gotten all of their shopping and wrapping taken care of. Shopping for kids can be the most fun experience of the year, even if you are a little bit behind. There’s still time to win toys on DealDash, and if you pay today you will receive them in time for Christmas! There are some exceptions, of course, but most items can be delivered in time for Santa to leave them under the tree.

LEGO Elves Ragana's Magic Shadow Castle 41180 LEGO DUPLO Number Train

What is the perfect last-minute gift for girls or boys? Legos! There are Legos of every color and so many different sets that encompass so many different interests of boys, girls, and both. Either gender can enjoy tie-ins to popular movies, video games, and TV shows such as Angry Birds, Ghostbusters, and Elves. If the child you’re shopping for is too young for regular Legos try the Duplo blocks. Around my house we call them “Baby Legos.” DealDash has both types – Lego and Duplo – up for auction.

Another great last-minute toy idea is ride-on cars! Toddlers on up through early elementary-aged kids love these. My niece has a ride-on car that looks like a little VW Bug, it’s adorable! The good thing about these ride-on toys is that they look awesome under the tree. They are a real “WOW!!” type of present. They don’t need as much space as you might think, either. My niece rides hers around the basement, as it’s too cold to drive it around outside now.

$50 GameStop Gift Card

If you’re searching for a toy for a child that’s a little bit older, video games are always fun. DealDash has video games for all of the game systems – Xbox One, PS4, and Wii U. If you’re not sure what system that the child has, then a gift card for GameStop is always appreciated as well. If you don’t have a Gamestop in your town, then DealDash has the solution – gift cards to Toys R Us, Wal*Mart, and Target.

I hope that you found this article about last-minute toy gifts helpful. If you have another type of toy in mind check out the Hobbies, Toys, Outdoors, and Games section on DealDash. DealDash has so many toys that would make a perfect gift for the child in your life. Good luck and happy bidding everyone!

Who Has a Sports Fan at Home?

DealDash has lots of great presents for the sports lover in your life. Here are some gift suggestions that you can use.

Do you know a sports lover? Do you have a child in soccer, a grandchild that loves basketball, or maybe a husband who just can’t get enough football? If you’re struggling to find them the perfect gift this year DealDash can help.When you get someone in your family sports equipment for a Christmas gift it’s like getting the whole family a gift, since most sports equipment is more fun when used by more than one person. Here are some gift suggestions from DealDash.

Luckily for you, DealDash has so many different sports equipment auctions. No matter if your sports fans enjoy tennis, swimming, trampoline-jumping, or all of the above, DealDash has the auction for you!

If your favorite sports fan loves basketball, DealDash has you covered! DealDash has both Indoor basketball hoops and outdoor basketball hoops as well. Basketball is a great family activity, because you can have as many or few players as you like. Basketball provides a great workout and is really fun, too. One of the things that I like best about having a basketball hoop at home is the kids can run around like crazy while playing basketball, or the whole family can play “Horse” together and it requires no running – which is a definite perk for me!

Maybe your sports fan is more into baseball. Well, no problem there, DealDash has many baseball-related auctions available for bidding. DealDash has collectible baseball bats, collectible baseballs, baseball hats and gloves, and even this baseball training system that is pictured below.

SKLZ Hit-A-Way Portable Training System

If your sports fan is more into solo sports, DealDash also has swimming pools, weights, and bicycles up for bid. No matter what sport you are looking for, DealDash has an auction to accommodate your needs.

If you’re interested in indoor or outdoor basketball hoops, bikes for the family, baseball equipment, or other sports equipment be sure to visit DealDash. DealDash also carries sporting goods store gift cards. If you’re interested in bidding on anything sporty, check out the Hobbies, Toys, Outdoors, and Games section on DealDash. Good luck and happy bidding everyone!

As I was wandering the aisles of my local big box store today I saw that they have all of their “Back to School” items highlighted. Let’s see what we can get on DealDash for school!

Two out of my three kids will be going to school this year, and it’s amazing how much stuff that they need to bring, even in preschool!

If you or your kids or grandkids need a backpack be sure to check out the selection on DealDash at this link right here.

Most kids from middle school on up will need their own laptops or at least a Chromebook to do their schoolwork on at home. I don’t know about at your house, but the way things usually work at my house is Mommy gets a new laptop and then she passes down her old one to the kids. Well, DealDash has so many laptops, Chromebooks, and iPads to choose from. I can get myself an awesome new laptop and pass my old one down to the kids. If you would like to check out the Electronics and Computer category on DealDash just click on this link right here.

Thinking about Dream Auctions

Do you ever think about what your dream auction might be? Is there something on DealDash that you can’t get out of your mind?

If you could bid on anything, absolutely anything, what would it be? DealDash has so much variety and there is something for just about anyone on your list at any given time. However, perhaps there is a certain item or category that you wish that DealDash would start putting up on their roster. If there’s something (or a whole category of somethings!) please leave a comment down below and I will pass it along to the wonderful folks at DealDash headquarters.

On the other hand, maybe DealDash does have what you dream of, but you have never gotten a chance to win that particular item. Well, never fear, my friends, DealDash often runs the same items if they proved to be a popular auction when they were previously up for bid. Is there an item that was up for bid before and you missed your chance, either by forgetting to bid, or perhaps you just didn’t have the time to devote to the auction that day? If so, same as above, please leave a comment down below and I will pass it along. Next time, though, remember to set your BidBuddy! Your BidBuddy is your best friend in a “one of a kind” auction situation. He will bid tirelessly for you as long as you keep feeding him bids.

If you have had a dream auction and won, wasn’t that just a wonderful feeling? Now maybe it’s time to pass on that great feeling by getting one of your loved ones a dream auction of their own! Why not check out the Hobbies, Toys, Outdoors, and Games category – there are amazing auctions for kids and kids at heart alike. There is sports equipment, outdoor toys, guitars, projector screens for the backyard, drones, and even go karts! The Hobbies, Toys, Outdoors, and Games category truly has something for everyone that you love who would love to win a dream auction of their own.

I hope that this article has encouraged you to think about your dream auction. Dream big, check out DealDash at this link right here, and have a great week. Good luck and happy bidding everyone!
