One of the biggest letdowns when it comes to the holiday unwrapping frenzy is for batteries to be forgotten, and as a result, battery-powered electronics and toys purchased may not be useable until stores reopen. It happens every year around the family celebrations, but you can ahead now and stock up on typical sizes needed and even add them to your list for Santa.
If you are buying a toy for a child, do your child a special favor and purchase the batteries (remember they are typically not included) and tape them onto the box. That way, they can be installed immediately so your child will be able to enjoy the item that was purchased rather than just “looking” at it. If you are buying a child a more elaborate battery-operated riding toy, be sure to read up on the directions ahead of time and know how long the battery needs to be charged. What child won’t want to ride the toy, so having it charged and ready for action will add to the holiday magic for the lucky child.
The same holds true
