Around the 3 and 4 year age range kids can have a hard time recognizing and addressing their various emotions, especially anger, sadness, confusion and such. There's a great product called a Kimochi that is basically a stuffed animal with a pouch that comes with a variety of small stuffed 'emotions' that you can use to address your child's current emotion and talk about how to deal with it. Different animals are available, they come with a few emotions and you can purchase additional emotions to accompany your character.
miYim makes wonderful organic toys for babies and toddlers. Untreated cotton is used for these soft toys and they are even hand dyed in soy water. Each one has their own appearance because of the hand made process and these toys are incredibly eco-friendly. You don't have to worry about your child chewing on their toys and ingesting harmful herbicides, pesticides or dyes.
To add some variety to building with blocks try one of the WEDGiTS block sets. These blocks nest together in different directions to create a variety of structures. Blocks come in different sizes and sets. These blocks are great for child development and can be used starting at a young age.

These boxes are great because not only will they keep things organized but you can unzip them to create a playmat.
