How to choose gifts for grandkids
- Check with the parents first. Ask about age suitability, small parts, toys with magnets, and whether they mind gifts that make noise or need batteries. Many listings above do not state an age, so the parents' call matters.
- Ship straight to the grandchild. We ship within the USA, so you can enter the grandchild's address as the shipping address at checkout instead of mailing it twice.
- Ask about batteries and power. Where a listing says power details vary by model, message us and we'll confirm before you order.
- Gift together. Grandparents, aunts and uncles can combine smaller gifts in one order. Shipping is $6.98 flat rate in the US and free on orders of $49 or more.
- Think about shared time. A book set or tracing books give you something to do together, not just something to unwrap.
