We all say we're going to do a "Target run and be done," but how realistic is that, really? Eh, not quite! But if there's one thing plenty of options helps with, it's holiday shopping, and everyone's favorite store has plenty of goodies, both big and small, for your kids. From toys to books to movies, we can count on Target to have a good selection of gifts for our little ones at pretty fair prices.
We've rounded up 25 of the best kids' gifts you can order online or pick up in a store. Keeping in mind a range of interests as well as ages, these gifts are something your littles will "ooh" and "aah" over as soon as they tear off the wrapping. Let the gifting begin!
