Can I have some ideas for mid price range gifts for two girls aged 4 and 2?

I always start shopping early and I’m in the planning phase and drawing a blank

I am not sure what you consider mid price range? However I got my then 2.5 year old girl last year the leap frog ice cream cart which was a huge hit and still being played with! That was around £40

An older child in the family has that ice cream cart and has outgrown it. I would say it’s been passed on to the younger children but don’t know for definite. It’s a good idea though thank you

One gift for both? A play kitchen, dress up supplies, an indoor climber, magnetic tiles, balance bikes

One gift for each:
2 year old: duplo, indoor climber (you can get them for as little as 30 quid), a scooter, role play things
4 year old: magnetic tiles, Lego, a wobble board, craft materials

When our girls were 2 and 4 they got:
Pets alive monkey

Melissa & Doug ice cream parlour & sandwich shop
Lego
Baking sets
Princess costumes
princess lip balms & perfume
The natural make up company face glitter
Puller triangle and slide for the garden
Sylvanian families
Tonies figures

Nice dress up clothes or decent puppets (the puppet company ones are lovely)

I work in a Dagis ((Swedish daycare from 1-6) and one of the most popular toys are the magnetic tiles.

For the 4 year old I’d recommend a Cubby talking bear, my DD got lots of pleasure from it he’s a lovely bear!

Stompythedinosaur · 24/06/2026 11:39

Some of my dd's favourites were:

Melissa and Doug food sets, especially those that could "cut".
Playmobil 123 Noah's Ark
Ikea easel and big roll of paper
Dressing up things - fairy wings were a particular hit

At that age I'd guess anything like scooters or balance bikes
Or those balance beams/stepping stones you can get from smyths. I think aldi have some atm as well (suitable 18 month plus)
