Small Sensations

Michael Sweeney (left) and Jonathan Pooley have a lot of fun at work, and it’s contagious. Their small surprise gifts for boys and girls have just the right ratio of wittiness, whimsy and wow! Who says big fun has to come in big packages? When we shared these small toys with our kid testers, everyone had a blast. The fun comes from teams of designers around the world who Michael and Jonathan commission to create their unique gifts -- from cupcake-inspired lip balm to build-your-own slime sets.

NPW’s set of small surprise gifts for girls includes a friendship bracelet kit and cupcake-themed wipes, lip balms and a shower cap. The boys’ set includes a desktop basketball game, a 3-D drawing pad and glasses, monster hand tattoos (to make your hand look like a talking monster), and a quirky rubber-band ball. In the unisex set, you’ll find a pocket microscope, fingerprint art kit, animal hand tattoos, and two science lab sets: Snow Factory and Slime Experiment. If you live in a warm climate, the Snow Factory is the perfect way to create some artificial snow, just in time for the winter holidays.
