Black Friday Warm-Up @ Mastermind Toys

Christmas will be here before you know it. And if you already know what's on the kids' wish lists, there's no reason to wait – especially since you can probably pick up a few things on sale at Mastermind Toys!

Until Wednesday, you can use the promo code EARLYBFDEAL to score 20% off an online purchase of $50 or more. It applies to almost everything they sell, so you can order all the board games, collectibles, dolls and even building sets that Santa will eventually take credit for at a discount.

This code won't work on select LOL Surprise dolls or most LEGO products, but just about everything else is fair game. It looks like books are included, too, so you can add a few new bedtime stories to your repertoire. First on my shopping list is The Dinky Donkey, which is the sequel to The Wonky Donkey!

I probably spent way too long on this website for somebody who doesn't have kids of her own, but there are some seriously cool new toys out there. Fisher-Price, for example, just came out with a new line of imaginative play toys, including this Meat & Cheeseboard Set. I mean, it's a plastic charcuterie kit for kids! And even though farmer's markets are mostly closed for the season, there's this Farm-to-Market Stand.

Even Pixie Belles are included. You'll have to pick up three or one at at least another item to reach that $50 minimum spend, but you know there are more toys on your shopping list anyway. These little critters interact with you to share their mood, plus they dance, spin and react to your touch.

Since it's already on sale, it won't be included in this early Black Friday deal, but one of the most ingenious toys I've ever seen is back in stock. The Casdon Dyson Cord-Free Vacuum looks just like the real thing, and kids apparently love it – and I love that it's marked down to $39.99 from $49.99! Orders over $35 ship free.
