I have a couple of babies in my family that will be turning 1 soon. One happens to be my youngest child. When I look for gifts for children, whether it’s my own, a family member, or because one of my kids were invited to a party, I want to find something unique. It’s hard to know if you’re niece already has this, or would little Johnny like that, or Didn’t my brother get him one of these last year?
I like to find unique places to buy gifts. I have to admit, I stumbled onto http://www.ebeanstalk.com by accident. I was looking for information for my blog. I started exploring the website. I found myself thinking “Isn’t that cute?” “I’ve never seen one of those before.” “I bet ______ doesn’t have one of those.”
http://www.ebeanstalk.com makes it easy to find the toys by having the toys broke down into age categories as well as being able to narrow it down to boys, girls, and top sellers.
For instance:
Baby toys I go to the website and click on Baby Toys on the left hand side. I list of cute little toys like these ones come up:
Big Buzz E Bee $29.95
Sights, sounds, peek a boo activities and more with this one. Click the link to read what all it does.
Melissa and Doug Fill and Spill Mailbox $26.95There’s a few fill and spill toys on the market. All very cute. This is the first one I’ve seen.
Moving on there are a lot of other age categories to choose from. Even up to 12 years and older:
Toys by Age
Looking through the 12 years and up section I see this:
Tin Can Robot $14.95 on eBeanstalk
Definitely unique. I bet it would be a lot of fun too. Making mental note of this one for later. It’s a kit that includes the parts. All you need is a soda can to turn a used can into a neat toy.
Maybe you’re thinking that you just want a plain old trampoline, or bike, or whatever. They have that too.
The site also offers birthday reminders, wishlist maker, and a section with expert advice on toys for the best learning and developmental toys. This makes me happy being that I’m an Occupational Therapy Assist. They even have links to articles:

What do I think eBeanstalk can work on? Well if you’ve been reading my blog, you’ll know it’s the prices. eBeanstalk can we do something with that? I did look at the clearance section on the site: http://www.ebeanstalk.com/clearance.php that’s a pretty good start. I can’t say the prices will detour me from purchasing because they do offer unique toys I personally haven’t found anywhere else. I’ll watch for deals though. Also I found out that if you sign up for their newsletter: eBeanstalk newsletter sign up you can safe 15% and free standard shipping if your order is $65 or more.
All in all I will be back to the site. Leave your comment and tell me what you think.
My daughter would love the Tin Can toy!! I’ll have to check this out 🙂
