Hey guys,
Looking for some advice on toys for kids. I’ve got a nephew (1 and 1/2 year old) and a niece (3 years old) that are living with my sister in California. Because of the distance we only see each other around once a year, and this year we might not get to see each other (sister is pregnant can’t travel while I’m travelling to see my folks). I want to get some toys for them, something they’d really love and also remember me by as we don’t meet very often. The niece loves peppa pig and plays with tiny peppa pig figurines while the nephew is still at that age of discovering what he likes (and breaking things!). Any suggestions on what to get these guys as a gift from the aunt? Something they’ll enjoy and last at least a year with them. I’m thinking lego but that might be a too advanced for them.
I’ve manage to set aside a budget of $100 for both. Oh it also has to fit in a medium sized luggage too.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers
Presumably your folks are in America? If so then I would wait until you get to America to buy something. The cost will probably be lower and the range will be greater. The other option is to look at something like Amazon so you can get them delivered directly to the sister. You might even get free postage for it, so you don't need to cart anything.
If you want to get them something that it is unlikely they can get in the states then I would be looking for something with an Australian slant - like a wooden puzzle with Australian animals, etc or soft toys based on Australian animals. (Not the tacky touristy ones, but something with a bit of quality).
