My DS is nearly two. Smaller things that we've bought him are a gro-clock and some small duplo sets (one of farm animals, one of police vehicles).

Duplo! Always a hit, doesn't matter if you have more than one, not offensive to any parenting style.....I like the animal ones for that age.

My 2 year old got books, toy vehicles (digger, tractor etc), reusable sticker books and a shape sorter. She especially loves the stickers and books.

I'm getting my DS a toy kitchen, just a plastic one and nothing overly fancy, he loves anything kitchen/cooking related

Duplo, or any kind of wooden train set/train/pieces!

DD's favourite present at 2 was a wooden train set. She played with it every day until she was over 5. Ditto Duplo, which she loved.

Other failsafe things for that age - sturdy bath toys. A couple of nice classic books. Crayons/chalks/paper. Sticker books.

Lanka kade make really lovely wooden toys. My 2 year has a couple of push along toys from there which he loves, and they would make a great gift.

My DD turned 2 last month and her favourite toys were some wooden food (you can get cakes, ice creams, fruit, veg, etc) and some counting bears. She had a play dough set too that was very popular but I’m currently hiding it from her cause it’s too messy!

As previously said duplo is great for that age.
If you are thinking of getting cars/vehicles then toot toot are really good ones.
Toy figures of characters they like or animal toys.

One of my son’s favourite presents at that age was a humming top. He was obsessed with it.
