BabyPlays
If you looking for a unique holiday child’s gift, BabyPlays is your site. Instead of spending lots of money on toys that will be played with for a few weeks and then tossed aside spend as little as $26.99 and get 5 high quality toys to wrap and put under the tree. Then when your kids are done with them send them back. Essentially you are renting the toys for a very low price (and not cluttering your house up with toys that are no longer played with by your kids.) They have toys geared for kids from under 1 month to 5 years old and all of the toys are catergorized very well. Is your really into planes right now? They have a whole selection devoted to planes, trains, and automobiles. Are you using the Montessorri method with your children? They have toys specifically geared to their principles. Need something for the crib? They have those too!
How it works:
You sign up, fill up your wish list, and within 4-7 days you will receive your box full of toys!
My personal experience:
I was amazed at how easy the whole process was. My daughter loved playing with each of the toys. We selected a wide variety of toys for our toy box and received just that ~ everything from a busy ball popper to a pounding table to a puzzle that helps develop skills like zippering, snaps, etc.
All of the toys were very clean as well. Here is a little bit from Nikki at BabyPlays on the cleaning process:
“We sanitize our toys in a three-tier Process using Solu-Guard, which is from the Melaleuca company. It is 100% all natural and EPA approved sanitizer that kills 99.9% of all germs. CBS New York sent a set of our toys (unbeknownst to us until we saw the news spot) to a lab for testing and we passed 100% on sanitization on all the toys they tested.”
One of the toys didn’t work very well (I think the batteries were dying.) I emailed customer support and within 15 minutes I had a response! WOW!! Fast! They offered to send replacements out right away.
Returning the toys is easy too! You just put everything back in the box (use the handy check list that is included to make sure that you are missing anything), tape it up, stick on the return label (which BabyPlays provides), and drop it off at your local FedEx. THAT’s IT!!!
The way I look at you, your kids can have 5 (or more) new toys every month for the cost of shipping just a few from your favorite online stores.
Right now BabyPlays is offering great holiday packages that would make perfect gifts (or to hint to the grandparents what a great gift this would be

I think that BabyPlays is a wonderful idea that has been executed really well. I definitely recommend them to everyone who buys toys for kids!
