Still looking for Christmas toy ideas for the infant, preschooler or toddler in your life? You can check out our reviews of the bestselling educational toys for toddlers. Also find more inspiration in our tutorial series on teaching toddlers. For savings on top toys, definitely check out Amazon’s Top Holiday Deals in Toys.

The page features their lighting deals, which are products on sale for rock bottom prices for a limited time only. The countdown timer is handy. You’ll also find incredible savings on toys, as much as 70% off of retail prices. Combined with the FREE super Saver Shipping offer, you can get amazing bargains on quality toys for young children. On a related note, I never realized Amazon had a Toys Outlet, but it does! Toys are broken down by age range, character, interest, discount amount, seller and toy categories, including Learning & Exploration,Construction, Building and Blocks,and Preschool Toys.Within each category, you’ll find further breakdowns by characters like Dora the Explorer.

Amazon is also featuring a service this season called Frustration-Free Packagingon over 100 bestselling toys and electronics. If you do buy items with this unique packaging, you can save up to 60% off regular prices. What is Frustration-Free Packaging? Basically, Amazon works with a growing list of retailers to ship products to you right off the assembly line in easy-to-open, recyclable packaging, that ships in its own package without an additional shipping box. You still get everything that you would get in the original box (instructions, supplies, warranties, etc.) without the hassel of having to use things like box cutters that could potentially damage your purchase. Plus, you get the satisfaction of knowing that you are contributing to environmental sustainability!

For those of you looking at ways to get your child off to a jump start with computer-based education or other online learning games and activities, getting her or him a Netbook could be the perfect holiday gift.

These ultra compact portable computers have bright LCD screens, wireless capability so they can connect to the many learning games and resources online, built-in webcams so your child can do video calls with family members that live far away. (We use Skype so that Destiny Baby and his grandparents can talk, as we live in different states.) You can find a huge selection of netbooks for under $300!

If you are able to spend a little more on a netbook, from what I can tell one of the main advantages would be a much longer battery life–your child could get 8 to 10 hours or more on battery and avoid the frustration of having to search for a power cord at critical moments. The current bestselling netbook is the ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005HA-PU17-BK 10.1-Inch Black Netbook – 10.5 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter)

Here’s the ASUS Eee PC:
