While we can’t celebrate our friend’s birthdays in person, I’m so glad we have this website to send the perfect gift. (And seriously, wait until you see their gift wrapping!)

Why Wicked Uncle
One reason I love Wicked Uncle‘s website was the ease of finding the just-right toy. You can search by age, but I enjoyed searching by categories too. Some of their categories include, “Building Sets For Kids”, “Sensory Toys”, “Wicked Fun”, “Best Wooden Toys”, and “Spooky & Spells”. Their easy to refine categories make finding the perfect toy super easy.
The best part of Wicked Uncle’s website might be their gift wrapping option. There are 12 super cute wrapping paper designs from adorable monsters to emoji faces, princesses to balloons. Then you can choose to add a free gift message or add a real greeting card. There are more than 15 different cards to choose from with a range of occasions (birthday, new baby, etc.)
Creating a list of the 15 best toys and gifts for 3-year-old boys and girls was super hard, there are so many great options on this website. As a former preschool teacher and big kid myself, I pride myself on finding toy gifts that inspire creativity and wonder through open-ended play. The Wicked Uncle website has tons of options that will keep kids engaged, learning, and having fun!
