The Holiday Edit 2026: Toy and Gift Ideas for Kids by Budget, from Stocking Stuffers to the Big Gift
The Holiday Edit · 2026
Our favourite toys of the season, many brand new to the shop, sorted by budget from a tiny stocking surprise to the one big thing under the tree.
Every December our shop counter turns into a little gift planning headquarters. Parents, grandparents, aunties and uncles come in with a budget in mind and a child in their heart, and together we figure out what will actually be played with long after the wrapping paper is gone.
This year our toy shelves have never looked better. We just unpacked a big delivery of new Tiger Tribe, fresh puzzles and games from Ravensburger, and a whole wall of Djeco craft kits. So we pulled our favourites together the way you really shop: by budget. Everything below is in stock at our Granville Island and Main Street shops, and online with shipping across Canada and to the US. Prefer to shop by age? Our holiday gift guide by age has you covered.
