Top 10 Gifts that Cost Less Than $30 for Children Under the Age of 13

a.) If you're buying this for a girl, I suggest Hannah Montanna, Vol. 1 - Livin' the Rock Star Life. Another suggestion would be High School Musical. Everyone is obsessed with the cast and their songs! Your child is definitely going to have a blast singing along with either or both movies.

b.) However, if you're buying a Disney movie for a boy, then definitely go with Pixar's DVD titled Cars. It's been rated 4.5 out of 5 stars and has been a top seller for quite a while!

2. For girls, if they own the Hannah Montanna movie and/or High School Musical DVDs already, then the Soundtracks are a MUST. They can now sing along wherever they're at! Whether it's during the car ride to school or when they're hanging out with their friends in their room.

3. The Tamagotchi V4 Connections are all that elementary school students and middle school students are obsessing over! Apart from being one of the coolest kids on campus, they'll learn the responsibilities of owning a "pet." Not only do they have to feed their new "pet," but they have to care for it!

4. Another ultimate toy to own right now is the Rubik's Cube. Get their minds thinking and allow them to be productively engaged by solving a Rubik's cube!

5. Every kid loves playing board games! I recommend you to get them the classic ones: Monopoly, Sorry, Trouble, or even Candyland!

6. If you want something educational that they'll love, it's probably going to be the newest Harry Potter book by J. K. Rowling.

7. Another educational gift idea that they can receive is a year long magazine subscription. The most popular children's magazines are titled National Geographic Kids and Disney Adventures. If they love learning about science and the wildlife, then National Geographic Kids is the way to go. On the other hand, if they are absolute Disney fanatics, then definitely subscribe them to Disney Adventures!

8. If they own a DS Lite, then getting them a new game is essential. Whether it's a boy or a girl, I'm positive they will love the game titled The New Super Mario Brothers. And if they love dogs and puppies, then the game titled Nintendogs Labrador Retriever & Friends is probably going to be the game that they'll enjoy playing most.

9. If they're a girl and they love Sanrio, then get them something from the Sanrio store. Whether it be a necklace, a cute little purse, or even a pencil set, they'll surely be enamored with their new Sanrio item!

10. And finally, if you plan on getting a gift for a boy, then buy them Naruto, Yu-Gi-Oh, or Pokemon related items. Any boy ranging from ages 5-13 is surely fascinated by at least one of the three mentioned cartoons.
