2012 Holiday Gift Guide: Toddlers

This year, our lovely design experts let us know what their top holiday gift picks were so we could share them with you. We hope you enjoy.

 

Toddlers are tricky to buy for. They change interests rapidly, and they are always crossing new developmental milestones. A few sure bets? Our design experts seem to agree that pretend play and toys to use up some of that extra energy are the way to go this holiday.

I have wanted to try going through one Christmas without having to get my kids any toys or anything for that matter. I wanted them to learn not to be materialistic and to not fall victims of commercialism. What do you guys think of this? Aren't any of you concerned about how kids today are so centered on material things? I mean Christmas is all about family and friends, and home and togetherness, and not really about gifts. But I'm not sure. I know this is sort of controversial.

I actually support that kind of thinking.

I say to each her own. I have nothing against giving kids presents. And I have nothing against parents not spending money on gifts at all.

Well, you have a point there. It's just that I believe that Christmas is magical for kids. And this is the reason why we let them believe in Santa Claus and in him giving them presents. we just want to cultivate that innocence and wide-eyed wonder. And the happiness they feel when they open their gifts, it's really what brings most parents true joy.

My sons would love the roadster, where as my daughter would love that 'theres no place like playhouse"

The dollhouse, the Playmobil, the playhome and the easel. That's a shortlist for my little girl. I have no idea which one to get. Unless I have the money to get all for her, I really need to pick just one.

Well, why don't you let your girl make a list of 5 toys or items she wants and tell her you'd pick only one and that would be a surprise.

That roadster is outragously overpriced :(
