Best Unusual Gift Ideas

Our recommendation as one of the best toys for younger children in the 3 to 5 year range is the MagnaTiles Set. Magnatiles snap together easily (but not strong enough to pinch fingers) allowing young children the satisfaction of building impressive structures.

Now if you have a science/math/spatially oriented child over six, I can't think of a better educational toy than Zome Systems. Zome Systems (also known as ZomeTools) come in a wide range of different sized kits.

We came across these West County Gloves and fell in love with them. They are a high tech glove that fits well and is comfortable. West County Gloves would make a really nice gift for a gardener or outdoors person.

Speaking of gardeners, a really thoughtful gift might be the U.S. made, Water Safe Flexeel Hose. These food grade hoses can't be found at most stores.

If you know someone who loves rocks (you know the type, they carry back pounds of rocks when they go on a hike) like I do, then SoapRocks would make a special gift.
