Giving gifts is always fun, but sometimes we just aren’t sure what to get. And while keeping things simple is always the goal around here, oftentimes we still want to get a gift for the children in our lives. But it can be incredibly stressful when we just don’t know what to get. Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. You’re sure to find the perfect gift within this Christmas toy guide.
This isn’t your standard gift guide! Both parents and kids will LOVE these toys! They are practical toys that will actually hold your child’s attention. Everything is either an open-ended toy or one that will keep your child engaged for long periods of time. Plus, these toys don’t require batteries and they don’t have noise makers! That’s a win-win in my book.

If you’ve been hanging around The Simply Organized Home for any length of time, then you know that we are all about simplifying your home and life. And toys are no exception. However, less is very different than none. So instead of saying “NO MORE TOYS!” in our house, we’ve chosen to go for quality over quantity.
Christmas Toy Guide for 2018
Note: Amazon prices fluctuate often. While I’ve included prices next to each item, I cannot guarantee this will be the price you pay if you choose to purchase.
Infants
Clothing is one of the most practical gifts for a baby. They really need very little when it comes to toys. However, they grow like crazy and tend to fly through sizes NB-12 months. If you are buying a gift for a baby, I highly recommend asking the parent what they actually NEED.
