Product Roundups — Gift Ideas

What does a 1 year old play with? What's the best gift to give a toddler that doesn't have lights, sound, and require batteries? And what is an 8 year old interested in? These are questions we get all the time. So we gathered up our favorite toys and gifts in the shop for each age group to help get you started. (And hopefully it's one less thing you have to worry about this holiday season!)

The holidays are creeping up, and for many adults, so is the mounting pressure to gift children toys that are fun and educational - gifts that might not end up in the trash a few weeks later when the batteries die or a child looses interest. Here are a few perfect toy options that meet both criteria for fun and learning support.   

Looking for a gift for a 4-year-old? It's not easy finding the perfect gift. At this age, little ones are full of energy, curiosity and creativity. Boundaries are being tested, milestones are met, and every day brings something new. For a no-fail gift, look for a gift that offers both entertainment and educational enrichment. Here are a few of our favorites to get you started. 

Age 5 isn’t an easy one for gift givers. Toddler toys are a little too young, and toys like Legos might still be a bit too advanced. At this age, children are counting, drawing shapes, and learning to write their numbers and letters. They’re active but can also pay attention to longer, more involved books. Here’s are list of 16 no-fail gifts for anyone celebrating their 5^th birthday.

Got an animal lover in your brood? Whether they’re soon-to-be veterinarians or just enthusiastic pet owners, there’s lots of fun animal-themed gifts to give. Here are the top-selling ones in the Bicycle Pie shop right now. 

For first-time moms, putting together a baby registry can be a fun, but also daunting task, given the fact that most have never actually had a baby before. That’s why we asked moms for their absolute must-haves from their own baby registry – products they just couldn’t do without.

For the holidays, there are many things our son would like in the current moment, but we're also looking ahead and anticipating what he would like to play with in the future, what he will be wearing, and how our gift list can be a useful guide for family and friends.

We spend a lot of time here at Bicycle Pie finding cute gifts that pair well together. It’s fun for us, but is also makes our customers’ lives a little bit easier by taking some of the guesswork out of gift giving. We’re parents, and we’re opinionated parents – aren’t we all? Here’s are 10 of our favorite gift pairings in the shop right now.

You can never go wrong with baby gifts like books, swaddles, rattles and onesies. But with so many to choose from, where does one even begin? Perhaps we can help. Here are eight of the top-selling baby gifts from the Bicycle Pie shop these days. Who wouldn’t want a soft little bumblebee rattle, right?
