So Many Great Gift Ideas in This List of Books and Toys for Good Girls and Boys

Finish off your shopping list with these 20 fantastic gift ideas of books and toys! You'll find more than one that is perfect for your family!

Disclosure

With a few exceptions such as suggestions for puzzles as gifts, pop culture gift suggestions, our list of ideas for stocking stuffers and STEM gift ideas, most of what we’ve featured has been game related. That’s mostly because our hobbies and interests strongly revolve around board games. But here’s something you probably don’t realize. Both our girls love opening all kinds of blind bags. Kennedy is a huge fan of craft kids (particularly slime), Scott collects Dodge Viper diecast cars, Madison is fanatical about video games and I cannot resist a good puzzle or adorable plush. We also enjoy playing with things like drones and remote control cars. We recognize that there’s more to life than games (gasp!) and like most parents, try to give gifts based on the interests and personalities of our gift recipients. That often means toys are on the shopping list. We’ve put together some ideas for toys, craft kits, books, music, plush, some electronic items and even a toy for a barista in training!

Many of these will be part of our 150+ Days of Giveaways so check back daily (at 3pm CT) for the latest announcement. In the meantime, bookmark this page so you can find cool gift ideas for someone on your shopping list!
