For Kids.

The best kids gift has two customers: the kid who rips the box open, and the adult who has to live with it. This list is filtered for that second buyer — toys with a ceiling (galaxy projector), a volume knob (loop track), or a delicious payoff (the countertop ice cream maker).

All under $60 and all proven to survive a comparison with the battery-powered shrieking in the toy aisle.
