Having Trouble Finding the Right Gifts for the Little Ones in the House? Try These Holiday Tips

 Start an Email to Santa

Start writing an email to Santa. Let your children know who it’s going to and if they can give you some ideas. If you want to really impress them, write a follow-up letter from Santa letting them know he received their lists. It’s a great way to find out what your kids want without asking directly.

Wishlists

When I was a child my parents would give me the annual holiday catalog and let me circle what I wanted. Today it’s easier with wishlists. Just have your teen write down as many options as possible and mail it to you. Then you can pick and choose what works best for your budget.

Get Some Help

Still not sure how to decide? Then check out our Newegg advocates located on the bottom left of our gaming page. Our tech experts are here to help you find the right upgrade for you or for your overly tech family member.

Make Sure Your Holiday Gifts Arrive On Time

The days are going by quick, and if you’re planning on getting your gifts on time for the holidays it’s important to get them shipped as soon as possible.

We at Newegg have made estimates of shipment times based on good weather. If you live in a region where there’s snow or rain, it can delay shipments by a few hours or even days. So it’s important to get those packages going. Ordering early also insures if something is the wrong size, you can get a replacement in time.

Shipping Deadlines

If you have to wait until the very last moment to ship, here’s our exact schedule. Remember, there’s always a chance of unforeseen circumstances delaying the order. So we always recommend ordering sooner than needed.
