The best toy we bought was the GPS system that we use to leave the Upper Penninsula before winter sets in, it easily finds 75 degree weather and sunny skys lol.

I started putting a colorful spinning wind toy at the end of our "driveway" in CGs. It makes it very easy to find the site and kids love it. It is something like this.

We have a personalized sign we hang on the "lamp post" DH made. We also have a personalized spare tire cover. Both were painted by a friend, not purchased. Recently I bought S'more Christmas ornaments for our camping buddies that had a camper and said "I love my RV". The Marshmallow shape have a special significance for us. We also bought a digital picture frame to keep in the camper that has all our camping adventure pictures on it. And my favorite thing? The journal a friend gave us. I'm a little behind in journaling right now, but I love the way I can include pictures or little souveniers.

Not really a toy, but VERY useful is our BAL Leveler! Saves a huge amount of time in leveling during setup.

This and some glow sticks off ebay (1000 for about $25 or so shipped, just watch shipping charges) and you are set. Fun for kids and adults. Especially with the low cost you won't mind giving them out.
