5BTW: 'who', not 'whom'. When in doubt, use 'who'. "Say you are a toy shop owner, who wants a slogan". – ShreevatsaR Aug 15 '10 at 00:42

Unless you were planning to give just one toy per set of siblings, I would say "toy for your kid" as it would imply one toy per child.

13Wouldn't it be better to say "Toys for your kids"? Multiple toys for multiple kids. – Vincent McNabb Aug 15 '10 at 02:50

Child/children is usually the more formal/correct term. But for a slogan, the slang "kid(s)" is fine.
To answer your question, it depends on the context. If you're advertising that you have toys for people's kids.
For a slogan:
Come to the Toy Box, home of the best Toys for your kids
The plural case is always better and more generic.
If you have a promotion:
Come in today and buy a new toy for your kid
is fine.

Use a word that is the same for plural and singular.
"Here's a toy for your offspring."

+1 for elegant workaround - although it probably won't work as a store slogan :) – Pekka Aug 15 '10 at 08:03
