Ad content in partnership with Best Buy.
Best Buy is already your go-to for electronic “toys” on your list, like laptops, gaming PCs, smartwatches, TVs and projectors. But this holiday season, it’s also the place to shop for literal toys. Through Nov. 25, you can get up to 25% off games and “kidulting” collectibles.
This sale is a great way to get everything from stocking stuffers for the quirky collectors on your list, to crowd-pleasing group games that will keep everyone entertained on freezing nights.
For some inspiration on what to add to your gift list (or self-gift list), read on.
The Riddler Puzzle Box
Puzzle boxes take many forms, but this one is custom-made for Batman fans. Instead of the usual generic sliding panels and blocks you find with many puzzle boxes, this one requires your recipient to have Batman knowledge to get through all the Riddler’s challenges and open the box. This toy is recommended for ages 12 and up, but the difficulty of this puzzle leaves a lot of leeway for the “and up” crowd.
First & Last Game
You’re hosting a holiday party and things are still going late into the night. Break out this game and let the night take a silly and competitive turn. The cards each contain a task: Say “Hello” in another language, for example, or unlock your phone without your hands. The first to complete the task gets rewarded, while the last has to complete a dare (for example: Give a speech about the player to your left).
Pokémon – Trading Card Game: Scarlet & Violet Elite Trainer Box
If you have a Pokemon enthusiast on your gift list, this collector’s box (the design you get on the box as well as the cards it contains are random) contains nine Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet booster packs, one full-art foil promo card featuring Koraidon or Miraidon, 65 card sleeves featuring Koraidon or Miraidon, 45 Pokémon TCG Energy cards, a player’s guide to the Scarlet & Violet expansion, six damage-counter dice, one competition-legal coin-flip die and two plastic condition markers and a code card that you can redeem in Pokemon Trading Card Game Live. The fun of these is that the selection of items inside is random — plus, reviewers tout the quality of the artwork on the box, the deck dividers and the sleeves.
What Do You Meme? Bigger Better Edition
Get more cards for those indoor holiday parties. This set includes 100 new cards compared to the old set, but the price is the same (and, with Best Buy’s discount, lower). If you haven’t played this game yet, it’s simple: A meme card is turned over, and you must play a caption card from your hand that best captures the vibes of the meme. The dealer picks a winner.
DC Multiverse – 7″ The Dark Knight Returns Figure
A stocking-stuffer for the collector in your life (or for the kid who will actually unbox it and play with it), this 7-inch-tall figurine depicts batman in an armored suit and comes with a stand and alternative gloves. Reviewers praise its high quality, level of detail and articulation (it has 22 moving parts for a full range of poses). Whether this figurine ends up propped up by your recipient’s gaming PC, ensconced within its box on a collector’s shelf or thrown from high places by a kid, it’s up to whatever heroic task is required of it.
More Best Buy Holiday Shopping Perks
In addition to being a one-stop shop for electronics and holiday gifts, Best Buy has some unique benefits for shoppers who want to save time and money:
1. Fast and flexible shipping and delivery options: Many of Best Buy’s products qualify for free shipping. If you need it faster, you can opt for store pickup or curbside pickup within hours. Some stores even have 24/7 locker pickup, so you can get your items outside store hours when the holiday chaos gets the best of you.
2. Early holiday deals: Best Buy is kicking off some of its deals before Black Friday. That means you can get out before the rush and check items off your gift list.
3. Holiday return policy: Best Buy is offering extra time to make returns on holiday purchases. Purchases made between Oct. 27 and Dec. 30 can be returned or exchanged through Jan. 13. That means you can start shopping early for the holidays worry free — you can still return things if you need to.
