Quick tips before you buy

• Check apparel sizing. Sweatshirts and pajamas vary by brand; when in doubt, size up.
• Order personalized items early. Anything custom needs 1–3 weeks, longer in December.
• Verify the price at checkout. Amazon prices change constantly — every "under $50" pick here was in range at writing time, but confirm before you buy.
