1. My pick
   

   Skip Hop Zoo Stack and Pour Buckets

   $8.25 was $10.99 rare price

   price as of Oct 15, 9:31am ET

   these still get at LEAST weekly use after having them for 3+ years. excellent build quality. stacking, holes, pouring, they've got it all. 10/10.

2. If you want one that lives on the tub

   

   Floating Purple Octopus Interactive Toddler Bath Toy

   this octopus has been living on the edge of our tub for years. it's now one of my go-to baby gifts. it rarely goes on sale, but the value to price is phenomenal and worth the $8-9.

3. If they love rescue vehicles

   

   Green Toys Rescue Boat with Helicopter Red

   $19.79 was $21.99 rare price

   price as of Oct 15, 9:38am ET

   a bath staple. anything under $20 is a deal.

4. If they love boats

   

   Green Toys Ferry Boat with Mini Cars Bathtub

   another bath favorite. this one is a bit bulky, so storage isn't my favorite, but it's got years of constant play. don't pay over $15.

5. If nighttime baths are dark

   

   Glo Pals Light-Up Cubes, Cookie Monster

   one of the BEST stocking stuffers. i like them under $10. there are character versions and plain versions. they don't last forever, so consider them consumables, but *so* worth it, especially in winter when nighttime baths are even darker.

6. If they love cars

   

   Tub Works® Emergency™ Cars Light Up Bath

   good stocking stuffer option. the batteries don't last as glopals, but at least they're vehicles that can still be played with after.

7. If you want something for the window too

   

   Fat Brain Toys Squigz Starter Set

   I prefer these as a window toy vs a bath toy. I'm still shocked at how much play they get for being so simple. also good for travel.

8. If you need somewhere to store them

   

   Munchkin Super Scoop Bath Toy Organizer

   a workhorse for every bathtub. toys dry really well in this and we got over 3 years out of it. great shower gift. my target price is 9.99.

9. If they have sensitive skin

   

   TruKid Bubble Podz Bubble Bath

   according to the amazon page, i've purchased this 4 times - and that's the 60 packs. great scents, no dyes, works for my kid's sensitive skin.
