That's a tough one, Xazy. Not only is there boys vs. girls (speaking generally), but there's the taste of the child in question. If you gave the 3 year-old down the street anything on dinosaurs, he'd go apeshit. My guys would glance at it and toss it into the pile. My boys have lots of toy cooking and cleaning stuff, but it's primarily used as loads for trucks or weapons.
The best gift that we can give or receive (at least at my house) are museum memberships. We belong to the Childrens, Aquarium, Lincoln Park Zoo, Nature, Science and Industry and (maybe) the Field in Chicago. My kids love going to all these places and ask to go there all the time. There's constantly something new and there's always the old standards (I've spent hours in the butterfly room at the Nature Museum here).
