Ten more in-stock gifts between about $65 and $100, none repeated from our first Under $100 list (article 6674).
Headline picks: BRIO Classic wooden train, MAGNA-TILES Castle DLX and Ravensburger GraviTrax PRO, all rechecked on Amazon Nov. 6, 2026.
Every pick lists maker age grade, safety warning, Pros/Cons and a tagged Amazon link; prices may change.
A hundred dollars buys the big one: the gift they'll still be using next Christmas. Our first Under $100 list had eight picks; these 10 are all new, all listed on Amazon between $65 and $100 when we checked on Nov. 6, 2026 (nine In Stock; MAGNA-TILES Castle DLX had a buy-box AVAILABLE_DATE listing plus an In Stock Amazon Resale offer). They run from youngest to oldest: a wooden train set and a first scooter for toddlers, a play kitchen, a magnetic-tile castle and a learning kit for preschoolers, a zoo and a horse trailer for pretend play, then a GraviTrax PRO marble run, a rock tumbler and a big-wheel scooter for bigger kids. Each pick lists the maker's age grade, any warning on the listing and the honest downside.
How we picked: We looked for toys with strong reviews from makers big and small, then checked every pick one by one for price, stock, the maker's age grade and the safety labeling on its Amazon listing on Nov. 6, 2026 (Creators API getItems). We also searched the CPSC recall database for every maker and product. Nobody paid to be on this list, the order is youngest to oldest, and we didn't receive samples. We also left out anything that appeared in our other recent gift guides, including our first Under $100 list, so this is all new. Prices change often, so check the current price before you buy.

No. 1: BRIO Classic 65th Anniversary Wooden Train Set
Maker: BRIO | Ages 2 and up
The wooden railway a lot of parents remember, in a 32-piece anniversary box: a train engine with three wooden wagons, a bridge, a switch, wooden trees and track, per the listing.

Works with other BRIO track and trains, so it can grow every birthday
Gift-ready anniversary packaging
Cons

It's a starter loop: a bigger layout means buying more track and trains, sold separately
Laid out, it takes about 43 x 26 inches of floor, per the listing
Manufacturer age grade: 2 years and up (listed as 24 months and up)
Safety warning: None listed (the listing says "No Warning Applicable"; its safety note says not for children under 2)
