Stacking cups, board books, shape sorters, very basic busy block or board

Thank you all! I got a couple of book suggestions from Politics and Prose.

Play silks! Google "Sarah's Silks." Easy to pack, luxurious, and get played with for years.

Busy books

I have a nephew who had a baby over the pandemic, and will be visiting me soon. I'd like to get a nice gift for the child (a 15 month old girl).
He lives overseas and is here on a work trip, so it can't be too bulky. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

I always loved kissy kissy onesies. LOVED. Best gift imo.

Soft hand puppets
Cloth or board books
Pretend play sets that are lightweight and can pack flat - could be fix-it tools, pretend food and dishes, doctor set
Small pillow pet or Squishmallow
Squigz/pipsquigz suction toys
Puzzles with <10-12 pieces

In general, for books, check out new releases or ask for suggestions at Politics & Prose, East City Bookshop, or another shop like that. Toy shops like Child's Play are great for recommendations too if you visit. Alternatively, you can look for baby/child products at Shop Made in DC, e.g., clothing, wall art, toys. A favorite for online shopping, and easily sorted by age: https://www.fatbraintoys.com/index.cfm
