As a mom of two boys, I was asked to write this post to help others find amazing gifts for a little boy.
We all know that every boy is unique and each day will be filled with new adventures. One day our little ‘Big Heroes’ are into Dinosaurs, and other days into Pokémon, Lego, or Transformers. Some boys have preferences for choosing only blue toys and other boys like neon green. Some days are all about puzzles, whereas other days, boys will let their imaginations go free working on crafts or building Lego cities.
When choosing the right gift for all ages, take into consideration safety by checking the box for the appropriate age. Consider other children at home and their interests. The educational value of the toy and its cost point are important too. Ask for a gift receipt if giving the toy as a gift. Generally, when choosing a toy, try to think of the ways it can engage them and develop their skills.

Whenever we approach a birthday, holiday, or Christmas in our house, our family and friends ask “What do you need for him?”, or “What does he like?” – These, are great questions that parents should be prepared to answer. Maybe start making a list a few weeks in advance, so you are not caught off guard, and you don’t end up with 20 new toys that, truly your kid didn’t need in the end.
Taking all of this under consideration here is our gift Wish List that might make your boy say “WOW!!!” on that special day, either Birthday, during Hanukkah, or under the sparkly traditional Christmas Tree:

Sophie the Giraffe
Teether activity toys
Melissa & Doug trucks & other toys
Melissa & Doug Deluxe Latches Board
Thomas the train
Mega Blocks
Duplo Lego Blocks
“Spot it” – any age after they start speaking 🙂
Strider bike
Plasma Car
Sleds
Any Cars or train sets are always fun to get.
Goodnight, goodnight, construction site” book or Board game
Super Hero figures
ball set
Any science sets are great
Lunch box
Now, depending on the interest of the little Explorer, here are some other ideas collected over the last 6 years with my boys. Some of these like Lego or PlayMobile come in different themes like Star Wars, Chima, Ninja, Super Heroes, etc.:
Lego – any Lego, ALL Lego
Pokémon cards, or whole sets
Transformers
“Swish” – Card game
It’s still not too late to get that great toy, especially with Amazon’s home delivery.
Absolutely brilliant idea, dear MiniOwls
