Gift Guide: Toys
1. Stealth R/C Helicopter: Read JS Review | Buy It ($30)
Break out your favorite pair of aviators because the Black Stealth R/C helicopter is the perfect little gadget for all you wannabe flyboys. With the ability to fly left, right, up, down, backward and forward, you’ll be terrorizing your coworkers (or pets) with ease.
2. Mostrini: Read JS Review | Buy It
The Mostrini puppets look like monsters you’d find a bizarre, drug-induced dream world. Yet, these little guys aren’t scary – they’re quite cute, actually.
3. Artoyz: Read JS Review | Buy It
Just because you have to do grown-up things like paying taxes and worrying about your worthless 401K, doesn’t mean you can’t still play with toys. Artoyz has many great designer toys from a slew of world-renowned artists. One of our favorites is Kid Onion by Easy Hey.
4. Thingamagoo: Read JS Review | Buy It ($120)
Thingamagoo are little metal creatures that beep, buzz, zap and make the noises you would hear in any Atari game. Push the buttons, twist the knobs and create your own synthesizer creations.

Each Deglingo is a quirky and lovable creation. The multiple textures and vibrant colors make these little creatures an amazing gift.
8. Jon Burgerman’s Heroes of Burgertown: Read JS Review | Buy It
U.K. artist Jon Burgerman is always up to something. Earlier this year he added toy design to his impressive resume. Heroes of Burgertown is a great little collection of 16 vinyl mini-figures that will bring a little joy to your desk.
