Downtown Burlingame is a wonderful place to shop for families, and tucked away on Primrose Road is Growing Ivy, a thoughtfully curated children's boutique filled with beautiful toys, books, clothing, and gifts from around the world.

If you're looking for something a little different from the usual big-box toy store, here are some of our favorite gift ideas.

1. Beautiful Wooden Toys That Inspire Imagination

There's something timeless about a well-made wooden toy.

At Growing Ivy, we love toys that encourage open-ended play, creativity, and discovery. From imaginative playsets to beautifully crafted educational toys, our collection focuses on pieces children can enjoy again and again.

Wooden toys make wonderful birthday gifts for toddlers and preschoolers, especially for families who appreciate thoughtful design and lasting quality.

Best for: Ages 1–5, imaginative play, Montessori-inspired gifts, and screen-free activities.

2. Musical Books and Children's Picture Books

Books are some of the most meaningful gifts we can give a child.

Our carefully selected collection includes colorful picture books, interactive stories, musical books, and engaging early-learning titles.

Musical books are especially popular with younger children, combining familiar melodies with the excitement of turning pages and discovering sounds.

They're also wonderful gifts for families who already have plenty of toys!

Best for: First birthdays, toddlers, preschoolers, bedtime routines, and little book lovers.

3. Unique Stuffed Animals and Cuddly Companions

Sometimes the most memorable birthday gift is a new best friend.

Discover charming plush animals, soft dolls, and beautifully designed cuddly companions selected for their quality, character, and gift appeal.

Whether you're looking for a sweet first stuffed animal or a special companion for an older child, these are the kinds of gifts that can become treasured childhood keepsakes.

Best for: Babies, toddlers, animal lovers, and children who love imaginative play.

4. Creative Gifts for Curious Little Minds

For children who love to build, create, and explore, consider a gift that encourages hands-on discovery.

Construction toys, creative activities, puzzles, and educational playsets can keep little minds engaged long after the birthday celebration.

We especially love gifts that bring families together through play.

Best for: Ages 3–5 and beyond, curious kids, creative play, and screen-free fun.

5. Special Birthday Outfits and Accessories

Not every birthday gift has to be a toy!

Growing Ivy also carries a curated selection of children's clothing, shoes, and accessories from distinctive international brands.

From beautiful everyday pieces to something special for a birthday celebration, you'll find styles that feel thoughtful, playful, and a little unexpected.

For grandparents, relatives, and friends looking for a more memorable gift, a beautiful outfit or accessory can be a lovely choice.
