The Avenlur holiday gift guide
Gifts they'll climb, build and play on long after the wrapping paper is gone. Everything here is made from real wood and designed around how kids move and learn, from a baby's first reach to a big kid's first pull-up. Shop by age, by budget or by the kind of play you want more of this winter.

Shop nowHoliday gift FAQs
For a first birthday or first holiday, a low Pikler triangle like the Maple or the Hazel is our most-loved pick. Both support pulling up, stepping and first climbs, and the Hazel adds a slide and rocker that keep it useful for years.
A low climbing gym with more than one route, like the Cherry, or a jungle gym like the Magnolia for toddlers ready for monkey bars and a swing. For something smaller, the Juneberry ride-on and Wooden Tool Walker are great picks.
Kids this age love height and challenge. The Chestnut and Sweetgum jungle gyms, a Swedish ladder like the Walnut or Neem, or the Casa playhouse for pretend play are all favorites.
As early as you can. Orders placed before 2 pm EST ship the same business day from our east or west coast warehouse, transit usually takes 2 to 5 business days, and your estimated delivery date is shown at checkout before you pay. Popular sizes and colors sold out last December, so ordering in November is the safest way to get your first choice.
Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase. Returns that aren't due to damage or a defect have a 20% restocking fee, so check the dimensions and age range on the product page before you buy. See our refund policy for details.
No. With our Holiday Price Match Guarantee, if you buy on avenlur.com from November 1 and we lower the price of the same product on avenlur.com through December 31, we refund the difference.
Many of our playsets and climbers are tested to ASTM and CPSIA standards for children's products, and our safety and testing page lists which ones. Every product page lists its recommended age range and weight limits, and we recommend adult supervision during play.
Many of our climbers are designed for real-life spaces. Chestnut and Hazel fold flat for storage, and wall-mounted gyms like Walnut, Neem and Betula use vertical space instead of floor space.
Most larger pieces arrive flat packed with hardware and step-by-step instructions. Most indoor sets take two adults one to three hours, so if it's a surprise, plan a little time after bedtime.
