Holiday shopping time is here! Trying to keep up with the latest trends, characters and lingo (what exactly is 6-7?) is exhausting! Now is the perfect time for a reset -- you can give your kids a Classic Christmas with traditional gifts that stand the test of time. These are the same toys that their parents (and grandparents!) played with -- toys that encourage open-ended, imaginative play and provide hours of screen-free fun! Take a trip down memory lane with us to discover the classic gifts that will still bring smiles to today's kids on Christmas morning!
Trains:
There is no more classic Christmas gift than a new train set! Featured in our 2025 Holiday Playbook, the BRIO World Pull Back Train Set is a perfect first starter train set for ages 3 and up. The BRIO World is built to expand to inspire kids' imaginations, so future gifts can include additional trains, tunnels and accessories.
Baby Dolls:
There's nothing like a classic baby doll to encourage empathy and promote pretend play! We love the sweet Corolle Bébé Calin and the Adora Adoption Baby. For twice the fun, check out the Berenguer Boutique Baby Doll Twins featured in our 2025 Holiday Playbook as well as the adorable Berenguer Boutique Playtime Folding Doll Crib/Playpen and Twin Folding Stroller to extend the fun!
Trucks:
Nothing makes a bigger, Classic Christmas statement than a toy truck under the tree! Bruder has been delivering holiday joy for 50 years with solid, realistic vehicles that inspire creative play both indoors and outdoors. Featured in our 2025 Holiday Playbook, the Mack Granite Heavy Tow Truck with Lights will be the wow gift this Christmas for ages 4 and up, but you can't go wrong with any of our amazing Bruder trucks currently in stock on fstoys.com!
Stuffed Animals:
The gift of a stuffed animal is a classic for a reason: hugs never go out of style! We love stuffed friends of all shapes and sizes, but nothing says Christmas morning like an oversized stuffed animal (like Boots the Cat from Douglas Toys, who is featured in our 2025 Holiday Playbook). Check out our entire selection of stuffed friends from Douglas, Gund, Squishable and more to find your child's perfect match.
Puzzles:
Puzzles are a perfect Classic Christmas gift that can be made to fit everyone on your list. From chunky wooden puzzles for toddlers to floor puzzles for little kids, from 100 piece puzzles for big kids to 2000 piece jigsaw puzzles for the most dedicated puzzle fans, there's a puzzle for everyone! Check out our massive puzzle selection at fstoys.com.
Board Games:
Get ready for Family Game Night this winter with classic board games that parents and grandparents can introduce to the next generation. Little kids can become a Pretty, Pretty Princess, climb down some Chutes & Ladders or take a trip to Candyland. Big kids can get in some Classic Trouble or yell Yahtzee! or become a king with Classic Checkers. No matter how you choose to play, what matters is that you're playing together!
