8 Surprise Gifts That Will Keep You Going “OMG!”

We’ve talked a lot about surprise, why kids love it, why grownups love it, and how that plays out in gifts such as blind bags and subscription boxes.

But what if you want to make that surprise last and last and last? Here are some gifts that keep the surprise going, and thus, keep on giving.

1

Scruff a Luv

Inside this package is a tangled furball. The real surprise comes when you give the cuddlebug a bath, brush out its matted fur, and find out what it really looks like.

2

Hanayama Level 3 Cast Chess Puzzle - Queen

The recipient will have to solve this puzzle to get inside, where you can hide something more valuable than the coins it comes with. Our suggestion: coins made from the most precious material—chocolate!

3

Book Safe with Combination Lock

Set the combination, and in the card, leave clues so they can guess it and get the “real” gift inside the safe.

4

Murder Mystery Jigsaw Puzzle

Putting the puzzle together is just the beginning. Once it’s assembled, seek out the clues to help you solve the mystery.

5

Magazine Subscriptions

Magazines are the gift that keep on giving, every single month!

6

National Geographic Fossil Dig Kit

What at first looks like a brick of dirt holds many more treasures inside: real fossils that you have to dig to get to, and even more dirt.

7

Custom Photo Puzzle

Keep the puzzle image a secret, and there’ll be another sweet surprise when it’s complete.

8

Unbored Time Capsule

They’ll have fun putting this together, with the promise of fun decades from now when they open it up again.

9

Lots of Wrapping Paper

Or you could do it the old-fashioned way, and wrap your gift in layers and layers and layers of wrapping paper.
