Magnetic tiles are one of those rare gifts that get played with long after the wrapping paper is gone. They suit a wide age range, they're open-ended, and they grow with a child. Because every CONNETIX pack connects with every other pack, they also make an easy gift for a child who already has a set. Here's how to choose.
Stocking fillers and small gifts (under $70)
- Rainbow Mini Pack 24pc: an easy introduction to CONNETIX.
- Pastel Mini Pack 32pc: the same idea in soft pastels.
- Rainbow Motion Pack 24pc: tiles plus two car bases for vehicle fans.
- 2 Piece Car Pack: an add-on for kids who already have tiles.
- Travel Mini Pack: mini tiles in a carry tin, great for summer holiday road trips.
First "big" gift ($100β$160)

Gifts for kids who already have CONNETIX
Adding to an existing collection is often the best gift of all. Children usually run out of tiles before they run out of ideas. Look at base plates and expansion packs, a Ball Run Launcher, or a roads pack to connect their builds into a whole town. Pastel and Bright tiles work together, so you don't need to match their existing set.
Gift guide by age
- Age 3: a Mini or Starter pack, plus a base plate.
- Age 4β5: a Transport pack, Glitter pack or Creative pack.
- Age 6β8: a ball run pack, Portal pack or Mega pack.
- Age 8+: the PRO Constructor Set or Super Ball Run.
CONNETIX is safety tested for ages 3+. Packs with balls or small parts aren't suitable for children under 3.
