When we talked with trend forecasters back in November to find the most popular kids’ toys to buy for Christmas this year, four of them said these Blume dolls would be the hottest toy of the season. They make a great gift for a 7-year-old, or any kid in your life who’s into slime or unboxing videos on YouTube. Strategist readers have been buying them up, too: These “blooming” dolls have been best sellers for three weeks straight. And today, they’re 30 percent off — the cheapest price we’ve ever seen on Amazon — with plenty of time to arrive before December 25, especially if you’ve got two-day Prime shipping.

The Strategist is designed to surface the most useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape. Some of our latest conquests include the best acne treatments, rolling luggage, pillows for side sleepers, natural anxiety remedies, and bath towels. We update links when possible, but note that deals can expire and all prices are subject to change.
