kid friendly toys

I am on the hunt for creative, different Christmas gifts this year. I don't want to spend alot of money at ToysRus and end up with generic toys that the kids will forget about in a few months. I am looking for eco-friendly, imagination powered gifts. I stumbled upon this great site www.sprigtoys.com for any young boys on your list. I picked up one for my 1 1/2 yearold. It looks like a great option. Please pass on any ideas or suggestions for big or little kids!!
