Is the Light-Up Musical Unicorn Toy (Battery-Operated Plastic) worth buying?

Skip it — cheap plastic and a short lifespan. So there you have it — seven gifts I’ve tested in the field. My best advice: ignore the shiny packaging and think about what your kid actually does. Does she build? Then go with the tiles. Does she boss her toys around? Get the dollhouse. Trust me, the cardboard box will be jealous. Have you found a gift that your 3-year-old girl couldn’t put down? Drop it in the comments. I’m always looking for ideas that don’t make me want to hide in the garage.
