Hot Toy Trends Today Invoke a Personal Touch

Look at all the amazing toys and nursery items out there, and what are the hot toy trends in gifts for a new baby? Personal, warm gifts that have an emotional significance are making a comeback. It almost sounds like a reversal of the mechanical, impersonal high tech trend that has been so popular. Isn’t it funny that the new toys for kids and gifts for new babies are the old toys?

Handmade items have enjoyed an encore. Items that have a personalized accent are popular. Name items spelled with wooden blocks are very big. They can be assembled to form lamps and bookends for the nursery. “Memory Boxes” with mementos from the day they were born is very special, sort of a time capsule, if you will.

Instead of hard, impersonal toys, soft handmade play mats with play items built in are such a nice item, providing a whole new play area on a hard floor, when baby begins to crawl. Personalized story books are another of the hot toy trends. You can use either words, pictures or both of family and friends. Familiar places can be used, too.

Everything old is new again, and especially when you are talking about hot toy trends.
