anyone got kids?!!

All the suggestions given sound great, but, you can also usually check the age on the product itself. I think, although I have no children of my own, that the recommended ages are usually pretty accurate. Good luck! I would think something fairly good sized, without a lot of removable parts, and, with bold, primary colors would be good...possibly even something noisy, although the parents might not appreciate that.

Books? Activity books? Sticker type books? Kids go through that stuff so quick, you can always enjoy new things.

Simple board games- like Candy Land or Chutes and Ladders
Art supplies- paper, finger paint, crayons, blunt scissors, etc.
Sidewalk chalk, bubbles, balls, t-ball set, child golf set (it works for boy or girl)
Trucks/cars- Misha loves playing with cars!
Puzzles and books
Dress up clothes
Tea set
Sand box toys- shovel, cups, etc.
Toy foods, kitchen stuff
Toy cleaning stuff- broom, mop, etc.
Playdoh and accessories
Blocks, legos

From a mom perspective, I would stay away from stuffed animals- Misha already has a ton and I'm trying to figure out how to store them!
Look at the age range- it gives a pretty good idea of what is appropriate. Hope that helps!
