The holiday shopping countdown is winding down, which means it’s time to grab those last-minute gifts and stocking stuffers—and figure out how much money you have left in your budget (the sobbing sound you hear right now is my wallet pleading for help ...)!

We are here to solve both problems with this list of the 10 best-rated toys under $20. We’ve got toys and games suitable for a variety of ages, from infant to adult, so there should be something for everyone on your list! All of these toys received 4 or more stars on Amazon, and most of them are best-sellers.

 

VTech Spin & Learn Color Flashlight / $12

Let’s start with a toy for the little ones. The VTech Spin & Learn Color Flashlight is designed for infants and toddlers up to age 3. It's highly interactive, using buttons, sounds, and lights to teach children about animals, colors, and numbers. (Be aware that, despite the name, this is not a functional flashlight; the colored lights are designed to glow rather than illuminate, and it should not be used as a light substitute.)

Play-Doh Case Of Colors / $8

You probably enjoyed playing with Play-Doh as a child, so why not pass that enjoyment along to the next generation? The Play-Doh Case of Colors includes 10 two-ounce cans of Play-Doh. It is possible to split up the case and divide the 10 cans between more than one child, but keep in mind that each can only contains a small amount of Play-Doh. This set works best when the recipient uses multiple cans and colors to create a Play-Doh masterpiece.

RoomMates Star Wars Decals / $10

What do you get a teenager? If they’re excited about the new Star Wars, consider getting them RoomMates Star Wars Classic Peel and Stick Wall Decals.
