For the Organized Queen:

ANY Toy that comes with a carrying case
Let’s be real, your kids may not get excited about being gifted an organizing product BUT that doesn’t mean you have to compromise on containing the chaos. Any toy that comes with its own case or container is a win! This will make for easy cleanup and even easier travel.
