My son REALLY wanted a toy kitchen. We had (have) a small apartment, but found a small one which he LOVED. It was european, so had a washer/dryer too. The day he unboxed it, I think he spent as much time as possible with it. Even afterwards, it was a favorite toy for quite a while. He also had a small doll-sized stroller, which he would use to push his ball to the playground. (His decision).
