Can you believe that it is that time of year again? I cannot believe that time goes by so quickly. It was just yesterday that I was putting up our Christmas tree and getting ready to send the kids back to school after such a wonderful Christmas break. Since Christmas is in less than 2 months and there is such a huge toy selection out there, I thought I would compile a helpful House of Fauci’s 2014 Toy Gift Guide to make your life a bit easier. In addition, I will be adding Amazon.com links so that you can purchase directly through Amazon.com and receive quick and free shipping if you are a Prime Member. If you are not a Prime Member, you should be, especially during the holidays.
- Lalaloopsy Dolls- Every year there are more and more Lalaloopsy dolls that are brought into this world and each year these dolls get cuter and cuter! As I wrote in my Lalaloopsy Doll review, my girls get a new Lalaloopsy Doll every year for Christmas and each year the smile on their faces get bigger and bigger. This year they will be receiving Lalaloopsy Girls Bea Spells-a-Lot Doll, Lalaloopsy Babies Diaper Surprise Peanut Big Top Doll, and the Lalaloopsy Color Me Squiggles N’ Shapes Doll. There are so many amazing, unique and adorable Lalaloopsy dolls that whichever one you choose for your child, I guarantee you that they will love their new Loopsy doll!
- Orbeez- Orbeez has a variety of toy options for kids 5 and up. Over the summer my girls did an Orbeez Mood Light Toy Review and as you can see in their video, they loved it! Some of the Orbeez toys that I recommend this holiday season are the Orbeez Luxury Spa, Orbeez Light Up Peace Sign, and the Orbeez Hand Jacuzzi Toy. Orbeez are toys that, in my experience, kids from the ages of 5 through 12 will enjoy; who wouldn’t enjoy an Orbeez massage?
- Vtech Go! Go! Smart Wheels- Last year Santa Claus brought this toy to my daughter and she fell head over heels for it. This durable track has the option of adding to it and interchanging the tracks. The best Vtech track to start with is the VTech Go Go Smart Wheels Train Station Playset because it is a nice size and it has a motorized train that makes fun noises. Santa also surprised her with the VTech Go Go Smart Wheels Garage, VTech Go Go Smart Wheels Construction Playset, and some extra cars- the Cement Mixer, the Ambulance. and the Firetruck.
- Bowdabra Hair Bow Kit– Now this may not be a ‘toy’ but it is a great gift for a child that is 10 years old or older. The Bowdabra will allow your child to express their creativity with beautiful hair bow products or bows to embellish whatever is their heart’s desire. In addition, Bowdabra has other bow making products that may interest a creative adult in your life. You can purchase Bowdabra online or at select stores.
- Monster High Dolls- Monster High Dolls have been in our home for a few years now and I have to say that they have improved quite a bit from when they first arrived. Some of this year’s popular Monster High Dolls are the Monster High Freaky Fusions, Coffin Bean Frankie Stein Doll, and the Monster High Monster Maker. There are so many dolls to choose from that your kids will be super happy with the dolls they receive.
- Alex Toys– We love Alex Toys and Santa Claus was so nice to bring us quite a bit last year. The great thing about Alex Toys is that there is a huge selection for all ages. Some of our favorites are the Early Learning String a Farm, Artistic Studio Fantastic Spinner, and Do It Yourself Wear, Hot Duct Tab Fashion. There are so many to choose from that you will definitely find one for every child in your family.
These are just a few of the toys that the House of Fauci’s recommends. There are so many awesome toys, but I wanted to choose the toys that I know your kids will enjoy but also toys that are a reliable brand. These brands of toys have been in our home for years and will continue to be toys in our home for more years to come! As a thank you to my readers, I will be having a giveaway of some select toys; you can gift them to your babies, kids, neighbors, friends, or even donate them. Please feel free to enter and don’t hesitate to share my House of Fauci’s 2014 Toy Guide with your friends, readers and Facebook friends. **I can only accept entries from USA–Sorry**
All Frozen and Lalaloopsy toys have been HUGE hit everywhere… everywhere I look, there’s another toy or ad for them! lol
Lalaloopsy Dolls are going to be a big hit in my friends house this Christmas. My kids are teenagers so Christmas is a little easier. Gift cards and electronics are a big hit.
It seems like anything FROZEN or TMNT is a go 🙂
Frozen Dolls seem to be all the craze! I think kids are really into it.
I’ve noticed the easy bake oven is looking pretty spiffy these days. And i know I’ll be buying lots of Lalaloopsy’s this year
I love hearing ideas from other moms. I saw that orbeez spa toy at at a toy event a few years ago and it looks like it’s still hot.
That’s quite a list of products. I actually own a few things on there but will probably pick up a few things for my goddaughter.
Nice round-up, thank you.
There is such a great choice these days.
What a great toy idea! All are fun and enjoyable. It is difficult to pick one or two. Kids would definitely love this. Thanks for sharing this. Good that it has a great giveaway deal too.
You seriously just saved me a ton of time shopping! Bookmarking to use later – like when I go to order that Lalaloopsy doll my daughter has been going on & on about. LOL
I would have loved the Friends 4ever bracelet kit as a kit. I loved making those!
These are great gift ideas! Plus, it’s an awesome giveaway! Thanks!
We got kiddo a few Lalaloopsy Dolls last year. They were a smaller version so she uses them with her My Little Pony. They tend to be little sister to her Monster High.
Great round-up and giveaway! We only have one in our family left who is still small enough for “toys” Makes me a little sad!
I feel like I’m so out of the loop with the toys that are hot right now, my son is still a little too young. But I do love that car race track!!
What an impressive selection of toys. I could see so many kids loving your fun choices too.
That’s a great looking group of toys there. I really like LalaLoopsy!
I think your list includes ideas for everyone. I believe it will be very helpful for many parents who want to give toys to their children for Christmas and don’t know really which would work.
What awesome holiday gift ideas! great giveaway!
What a great bunch of toys! My kids would have loved all of these when they were younger!

Awesome list!! This will be helpful for my friend’s kids
These are so great! We have seen a ton of toys out but the big one my son wants is Trap Team from Skylanders.
What a great list! Will be watching your giveaways this holiday season! and shopping for a few of these too!
That is so cool and such great ideas!
These are great present ideas and would really help aunt’s like me out!
These are such great ideas for presents. I was wondering what to get my little nephew this year.
I’ve seen the Color Me Lalaloopsy doll, and the Diaper Surprise Lalaloopsy. Of course, my granddaughter wants both!
Thanks for sharing! I’ve got kids to shop for this year and have NO idea how to do so!
Some popular toys I have seen are hot wheels

I had never heard of a Lalaloopsy Doll until now. I’m not even sure I know how to pronounce it.

What an awesome giveaway. Those toys are things I’ve never seen before!
Great list! My girls would like the dolls best, I think. Hmmm. Some of the most popular toys. I’d say anything with Frozen or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on them.
So many great options for toys this year! I haven’t sat down with my girls yet for them to create their Christmas gift list so I’m unsure what they want.
My youngest child is going crazy over Disney Xfinity. He wants it so bad that he is begging to go into his savings account. My niece loves Lalaloopsy Dolls.
A lot of great ideas for gifts this holiday. Love the Fantastic Studio Spinner!
Me too!
My kids would love that string your own farm toys set. You’ve got some great things here for your giveaway! I still can’t believe it’s almost Christmas.
We love wooden puzzles and cars too. Great list! We have that gogo smart wheels garage and love it.
I love my bowdabra bow making kit. I have the big one and was never good at making bows of any kind. If I ever have a granddaughter, I’ll be buying the mini one for sure. Great list!
Good ides for my niece! It’s hard to believe, but I’ve already started putting together lists for her! This will be helpful!
This is an impressive toy collection! Thanks for the great gift ideas!
These would be great for my little niece! I cannot get over how fast this year went by. It’s crazy!
These are great ideas! I know some little guys that would be happy campers this Christmas!

I miss the days of buying my kids all the cool toys for Christmas. Now they are teenagers and just want cash and gift cards.

So many great toys available for the holidays. It’s going to be hard to select just one or two
Great ideas for my friend’s kids. 🙂
What a great toy set up! Too old for my kids but I’d love to win and donate them to the shelter a few towns over for Christmas!
