Birthday gifts for kids
A birthday gift has two jobs: it has to suit the child, and it has to be there in time for the party. Start with the age. Every toy in the shop shows the age it is meant for, taken from the maker or from the shop’s own listing, so you can rule out anything too young or too hard before you look at anything else.

How to choose
Then set the budget. For a classmate’s party, a puzzle, a craft kit or a paint set is plenty, and many of those cost under $25. For a niece, a nephew or a godchild, a bigger building set or a wooden play kitchen is the kind of gift that stays in the house long after the party. The price pages under Gifts sort the whole shop by what you want to spend.
Last, think about what the child already loves. A child who talks about animals all day will get more from an animal puzzle than from a fancier toy on a subject they ignore, and it is the gift still being played with a month after the party. If you are stuck between two, message the shop on WhatsApp with the age and the budget, and we will come back with what fits.
Questions and answers
How much should I spend on a birthday gift for a child?
It depends on how close you are. For a classmate or a friend’s child, $15 to $25 buys a good puzzle, craft kit or paint set. For family, $25 to $50 covers most building sets and larger kits, and wooden play kitchens and rocking animals sit above that. The shop has 551 toys at $25 or under, so a small budget still has plenty of choice.
What birthday gift suits a child’s age?
Match the toy to what the child is doing now. Under two, choose toys that stack, push or make a sound. At three and four, pretend play, magnetic tiles and first puzzles. At five and six, games with rules and craft kits with steps. From seven, bigger builds and electronics kits. The age pages list the toys by band, and each product page shows its age.
How long does delivery take for a birthday gift?
Delivery takes 2 to 4 days, so order at least that far ahead of the party, and earlier if you can. When you check out, tick "This is a gift" and fill in "Needed by". Toy Gate contacts you on the number you give to confirm the delivery, and that is the moment to check the timing works. $5 flat delivery across Lebanon.
