Haven’t we all been in this situation at one time or another? You’re ordering items from Amazon.com, and you find yourself just a little shy of the $35 minimum to hit free shipping. Who wants to be a few cents away from that threshold?
Bookmark this page, and if you’re ordering on Amazon and need something small to get over $35, here are some super-cheap items to help you hit the free-shipping goal! And hey, you can even give that special someone one of these “bonus” items too as a surprise gift. (Who wouldn’t want a bedbug-proof airplane seat cover? Can of Wasabi powder? ’80s classic movie “The Goonies” on DVD?)
Rest assured, there are plenty of practical small-filler-item options in this list too if you prefer things like paper clips, rubber bands, screwdrivers — or even a $1.97 gallon of windshield washer fluid (which you’d think would cost more to ship than the bottle is worth, but it doesn’t!) Enjoy!

Just a note that Amazon prices change constantly, sometimes even a few times in a day, so always check before you buy.
Also, I recommend Amazon Prime- always free 2 day shipping, lots of free videos for streaming and many other benefits.

Here is another idea from MyChicagoMommy
Lego Building Plates $3.74
If you have a LEGO builder on your list, here is a great gift idea. These plates can get expensive, but right now you can get the Blue LEGO Building Plate for just $3.74 or the Green LEGO Building Plate for just $3.74! These are both “Add On Items”, which means you will have to spend a total of $25 or more.
-Use the building plate to display, transport and play with your LEGO creations
-Large building plate measures 32 x 32 studs (10″ x 10″)
-A great supplement to any LEGO collection
-Combine with additional building plates to expand play area
-Contains only 1 piece
Hurry, though, prices at Amazon can change at any time.
Thanks, My Chicago Mommy: Lego Building Plates $3.74

Cheap filler if you need to reach $35 or 5 items for S&S.
