That's a great starting point and then you're able to look at our gift guide by interests and by age and by product type. But that being said. But if you're not sure, I always say a great idea is a game or an activity because then it's something you and the child can enjoy together and enjoy the gift of quality time as you get to play with it together and remember the age range on toys is there for a reason specifically because of toy safety testing small parts. So very important to pay attention to the age range for that Christie reader, News 12 For a closer look at these items and more and how to get your hands on them.
