Noone shops for my kids except for my mom and she always asks exactly what they want so that would be good for her. In general though I would just just say LalaLoopsey or Duplo....

I agree, it depends who is asking

My mom requests I keep an amazon wishlist up to date. She doesn't always buy things exactly from the list, but it gives a good idea of what they are interested it. I don't give this out to anyone else though

My MIL likes to shop sales and so specific things or even brand stuff (like saying they like geotrax) wouldn't work. I have to get much more general, like pirates, trains, superheros, etc.

Some of my siblings don't spend have a lot of money to spend, so I mention smaller affordable things to them like art supplies or books

My grandparents want to purchase big ticket items so they get a few specific ideas of things the kids would really like.

I tell people what my kids are into and then they can go from there.
