❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What gifts in this range have the best replay value?
Building sets (LEGO, Magna-Tiles), art supply kits, and board games offer the most replay value because they allow different outcomes each time. Avoid single-use kits unless the experience itself is the gift.
Should I prioritize the child's wish list or surprise them?
For under-$25 gifts, surprises often work great — the stakes are lower. Choose something related to their interests but unexpected. Save wish-list items for bigger-budget gifts where getting the exact right thing matters more.
