The 4 Best Kids' Gifts to Buy at Sam's Club

Buying holiday gifts for kids can be a huge challenge. After all, you want to find something that will delight your little darlings all year long, but you don't want to empty your checking account doing it.

The good news is, Sam's Club has you covered. You can find tons of great presents for kids of all ages there -- including these awesome buys that won't leave you with a big credit card bill.

1. An inflatable bounce house

Sam's Club has a top-notch selection of bounce houses, with prices ranging from $179.98 for a simple house with slide all the way up to $599 for a deluxe inflatable obstacle course waterpark.

If you're like me and you grew up at a time when your parents had to take you to a fair or lawn fete to get this kind of fun, you'll know just what a bargain that is for the hours of entertainment these houses can provide. Sam's Clubs prices also offer plenty to be excited about, as a similar bounce house and slide from Walmart comes in at $214.54.

The only remaining question for parents (well, for me at least) is what the age limit is for bouncing. With a 132-pound weight capacity on the entry-level model, I'm coming in under the wire on that at least, and I'll be "testing" this one out myself before the holidays. Have to make sure it's safe for the kiddos.

2. Lego Building Sets

Lego toys are educational and fun for kids of all ages. That's why it's so exciting that Sam's Club has a great selection of them. From the Disney Pixar Up House for $48.98 to a Star Wars Spider Tank Building Set for $40.98, there's a Lego set for enthusiasts of all skill levels.

And, again, the prices are competitive, with Kohl's charging $59.99 for the same Up home.

3. Member's Mark Preschool Playset

If your kids are still of the toddler variety, you'll love the Sam's Club selection of preschool playsets, including:

• A farm life set
• A construction set
• A jetsetter set
• A country cottage
• A jungle
• A pirate ship

At $24.98 each, these items received an average of 4.7 out of 5 stars over 245 reviews, and they'll provide endless hours of fun for the kids. Just be aware that you will need two AAA batteries to make the sound effects work, so don't get caught unprepared on Christmas Eve without batteries.

4. Squishmallows slippers

We give our kids something they want, something they need, something to wear, and something to read for Christmas. If you do the same, or are just looking for a cozy Christmas gift, these Squishmallows slippers could be the perfect thing.

Squishmallows in general are super popular with kids -- and it's easy to see why with all their squishy goodness. These slippers for boys and girls in affordable patterns are sure to be a huge hit. Fortunately, they are also just $10.98, which would be a great price for any slipper, including one that doesn't carry the famed Squishmallows name.

These are just some of the many great gifts Sam's Club offers for kids. Check out what Sam's Club has to offer to see if you can get your holiday shopping done on budget -- and before you end up scrambling on Christmas Eve. Just don't forget those batteries.
