With the holidays creeping up, it's time to kick things into high gear and find last minute gifts guaranteed to arrive in time for Christmas. If you're buying for a kid in your life, and stumped on the hot ticket items, look to the Kindle Paperwhite Kids. It's no secret that Kindles are our favorite e-readers, and if you're purchasing for a kid, the Paperwhite Kids is the best option.

Compared to the standard Kindle Paperwhite, the Paperwhite Kids is heftier, weighing 11.6 oz compared to the Paperwhite's 7.4 oz. The extra weight gives it a sturdier build that can stand up to the antics of a kids rough and tumble lifestyle. It's ad-free, so no ads or games will distract young readers from their books.

It comes with built-in parental controls so you can monitor what your kiddo is reading. However, the Kindle Paperwhite Kids comes with six months of Amazon Kids+ that provides access to a library of age-appropriate books.

Ahead of the holidays, you can find the Kindle Paperwhite Kids for just $149.99, saving $40 for 21% off. And the best news? It will arrive in time for Christmas.
