Toddler present help

Liz4444

We are going to visit my friend in Austin next weekend, she has a 3 year old and a 5 year old, both boys. What should I get them? I plan on ordering them online and shipping directly to them so I don't have to carry them on the plane. I'm thinking 30 to 40 dollars per kid.... Suggestions please!

My mom got DD a subscription to National Geographic Little Kids and it has been the best present ever. She gets cool stuff in the mail, she learns a ton, and it is non-battery operated. It was a little old for her so it would be good for their ages too. I know you can also order craft kits that come in the mail at that price point. It has everything the kids need to make a specific project. It looks super fun, I'm waiting for DD to get just a bit older.

We stayed with some cousins over Thanksgiving who have 2 boys, ages 2 and 6. We wanted to get them a gift to share so we got them a set of cool monster trucks. They both really liked them. What about a Rody horse? Other than that I guess I'm not much help!

This!  I saw this mag in the dentists office and thought it was very cool!  I want Iz to have it one day.

I love this idea, but I want something returnable because I don't know what they have and that seems like something she would have gotten for them.  When I asked my friend what to get them, she said they will love whatever I get.  Clearly, that was no help.

Play doh has some cool new 'boy' sets like https://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=13144084 that has brick, pavement and cement that you can build houses and roads.  The suggested ages are 3-5.

A lot of boys that age are into superhero type stuff.  My kid isn't into superheros but at his preschool Halloween party, he was the only one not dressed up in some sort of superhero costume.  My 3yo is really into dinosaurs and trains.  Vtech has Switch N Go dinos that talk and transform to vehicles.  Amazon has some good dino play stuff as well.
