Sooooo…. I have a little confession to make. I try (emphasis on try) to get all my holiday shopping done and out of the way before November even hits. I don’t really like to be in a mad rush during peak season. However, I always find that when I go to wrap gifts, the gifting is a little lopsided for one kid. 

I don’t do this on purpose, I just seem to always find great things for one kid, and then realize later on it is not quite equal (I like to make sure everyone gets about the same, just to be fair).

This year that kid is my son. So here I find myself once again, a couple of weeks before Christmas, and I have to find something great for him!

Well, what little boy wouldn’t love to have a brand new electronic toy this year? My little boy loves radio control cars, helicopters, monster trucks…you name it, he wants it!

Where to find awesome last minute gifts at great prices

Knowing what my family likes, I have always been able to make RadioShack my last minute go-to place to find great quality toys and electronics at great prices! This year was no exception. 

After checking out what they had to offer, I knew just what to get him…. a radio controlled helicopter!

Last summer he had one that grandma had gotten him (it was a semi-low quality one), and it broke after getting stuck in the tree a couple of times. He was very disappointed because he really loved playing with it.  Just look for yourself at how much fun he had…..

This time I wanted to make sure he got a helicopter that was not only a good deal for me, but one that will last a little longer. I found this Stealth Flyer Interactive Toy Concepts® Interceptor RC Helicopter, which is actually on sale right now (until 12/15), and knew that was the one. I mean what little kid wouldn’t love to see this under the tree?

The features include:

  • Incredibly easy and stable to fly
  • 12” length
  • Indoor/outdoor helicopter with 3-ch. control
  • Control distance: 30 ft.
  • Batteries: 1 X 9V (not included), AC adaptor (included)
  • $59.99, on sale for $49.99 until 12/15/12
