My favorite childhood toy (Barbie) was already listed, so I had to go with things I enjoyed playing with my younger brothers:

Action figures: a Star Wars novel (not sure which one yet)

Card games: either Faro's Daughter (Georgette Heyer) or Rake's Wager (Miranda Jarrett) -- heroine in both are somehow associated with a gaming house.
