This is it folks, the last day of all the crazy zany many giveaways (make sure you’ve entered all of them here!). Today’s picks are as good as all the rest, particularly if you like books (and if you read this blog, you better like books, or I’ll disown you!) In the gift guides, we’re looking at some of the best modern classics – these are toys that are great every year. Can you guess which ones made the list? Do you have one that should have been on there? (feel free to shout it out to me!)
Small for Big’s Annual Holiday Gift Guide – Modern Kid Classics
The term classic can be interpreted many ways. But I’m choosing to focus on books and one of my classic toy designs. So we have two Chronicle books giveaways going on right now: the chance to win 20 books (via the larger pick-a-blog giveaway) and today’s 5 books. Plus you can win a carrying case for all of your favorites, and a Googly Eyes mouse named Flo.
We will pick one winner for each of these prizes – that’s three chances to win!
- Manhattan Toy Ragalang Dog, vintage classic, valued at $20. The Ragalangs series of animals was one of my favorite lines that I designed. This dog was originally launched over 8 years ago, and has since been discontinued. I think it’s time he found a “forever home”. (New with tags)
- 5 Books from Chronicle Books, valued at $87.95. Titles include some of my personal favorites as well as three brand-new releases: Chicken Big, Around the World with Mouk, For Just One Day, A Long Piece of String, and Tar Gomi’s Play All Day. Plus, make sure to stop by Chronicle Books for 35% off and free shipping through Dec. 5 (enter code FRIENDS at checkout)
- Tidy Books Box, valued at $110. This brand is brand-new to the US from the UK. All of their products feature slim but wide shelves that allow kids to see the covers of the books instead of the spines – brilliant, no? This Tidy Box will be perfect in our messy living room – and yours too.

I love the Tidy Books book shelve unit with the clock! I can totally visualize this in our “readying nook” in our upstairs area. Definitely has an heirloom quality and you can teach time with this book shelve as well. Love that you can see the front of the book (not just the spine)–brilliant.

I’ve been looking for a functional yet fun bookcase. The Tidy Books Box bookcase with the clock would be an extremely useful addition to our home.
Good luck to everyone. Mari at SmallforBig.com is a fantastic resource for quality designer toys and more.

I have a forever home for Mr. Dog!!! We loved this Ragalang line…my 6 year old has the mouse, 4 year old has a darker colored dog, and my 2 year old has the mouse. I was devastated to see that they have been discontinued because I have a new baby!!! This is how I found your site!! Pick me! Pick me!!
