What should I get my niece and nephew?

[toratoratori]

He's going to be 4 in February, and she's 10 months. I have no idea what to get them for Christmas. Any suggestions?

Do you at all know what they like?

4 might be Jack and the pirates, trucks, spider man, cars

My coworkers 10 year old girl likes nail polish, monster high stuff, art kits

I'll keep thinking. Books are always good.

The 4-year-old likes trucks. The 10-month-old likes dirt.

I guess I could send them a box of dirt ... ?

10 months you could do clothes, learning toys (stacking rings, blocks), or a push walker or standing you to help w/ standing/walking. I can post links later of what E was really into at 10 months.

Oh sorry I clearly need more coffee I agree with Alias's recs.

10 month old, also board books to start chewing on! A love of reading starts with the first chewed book

There's plenty of cool truck stuff! You could find a cool t-shirt
there's this fun book www.amazon.com/gp/product/0892726989
and this set www.amazon.com/State-Caterpillar-Construction-Machine-5-Pack/dp/B003U0O3B4

These were his two favs at that age and really helped w/ him learning to stand and walk:

Fisher Price Stand and Play:

Something like this for walking:

Battat Take-A-Part Crane www.amazon.com/dp/B000N5RT4M/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_rUFKub0HG4TWB

Got this for my son who is almost 3.5

He also is obsessed with his marble maze thing
The Original Toy Company Marble Maze Building Set, 45-Piece www.amazon.com/dp/B002611X3E/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_QVFKub0ZGK85C

Marble maze is pretty fun for us too. I will say it can occasionally be frustrating keeping the marbles away from our 1.5 year old, so depending on how mobile the 10 month old is and where their play spaces are might not be a great idea.

I ran these by my husband and he was like, "CHOKING HAZARDS." Blerg.

We got my nephew the Battat take apart air plane last Christmas when he was 3. The parts aren't that small and he still plays with it a year later. Last month when he turned 4 we got him a set of hot wheels track builder tracks/stunts. That was a big hit.

The 10-month-old will like the paper best of all so I'd get something practical mom and dad would appreciate like clothes, especially since she has an older sibling so they probably have plenty of toys.

I ended up getting Llama Llama books for the 10 month old. I thought about clothes, but my SIL and I have VERY different taste and I can't imagine she'd dress her baby in anything I bought for her.

The three year old is getting a light-up flashing noisy fighter plane (inspired by the Battat take-apart airplane, but without parts he can lose) and a costume fighter pilot helmet.
