It's easy to pick out gifts for babies, but things get a little tricky once you hit the 3-year-old stage. As the mom to two toddlers, I know what it's like to look for that just-right gift that is appropriate for your child now but also built to last. I'm always on the lookout for toys and games that are unique, well-made, will keep my kids' attention, and don't break the bank! If it's durable enough to get passed down to a younger sibling or friend, even better. The last thing we want is something that ends up at the bottom of the toy box or in the donation bin after a few uses.
If there's one thing we know about three year old boys, it's that they have started developing their own opinions on what they would like to see on their big day, so look for a special gift based on their interests or hobbies. This list can be used as inspiration to make a wish list together or use it to choose a surprise.
