Christmas presents for 2x toddlers

I have two toddler girls. 2 & 1. They are 18 months apart so they starting to play together. Is it stingy for them to have 4 main presents “to share” then just a stocking each. Budgeting £200 in total rather than £100 each. They will end up playing with whatever toys the other gets so seems silly to get individual gifts as such. I was thinking:

Tonie box and Tonie bundle (£100)
hetty hoover cleaning trolley (£25)
doctors dress up kit (£25)
wooden doll house with some furniture and characters (£50)

Plus any ideas for stockings? I am again trying to stick to useful, samey presents for both children on a small budget; pjs, book, bath bomb, chocolate, air dry clay, maybe “maileg-style Temu” characters for above dollhouse

2 year old turns 3 at end of January so want to keep more individual presents for then.

Maybe im overthinking this so interested to hear from others with maybe similar ages/age gaps.

My daughter is 2 and I would be very surprised if she noticed they were to share. The 1 year old won’t have a clue what’s going on so I’d just get the presents for them to share.
for stocking fillers what about those water paint books, chalk boards etc. my daughter loves her etch a sketch too.

Toni is great, also recommend the Yoto player also! For stockings we sometimes do things like paint your own masks etc from the Works as that has a few things that are cheap!

I think that's a brilliant idea. My two are getting a small cat/dog cuddly toy with a handmade basket each. The age gap is a bit bigger but I have mirrored the presents, both get a crafty item, a book, an ride on toy, a bath bomb, cuddly toy and some other bits and bobs.

The only thing is that the doctors kit only 1 can be a doctor at a time. Maybe it's a good idea to get a separate gown.

Thanks for the ideas, our 2yo has a little etch a sketch and loves it! I got her a lcd cheap Amazon drawing pad last year too so may get them both a new one as they are so handy when out and about

At that age they don’t really understand ownership so 4 big gifts for sharing is absolutely fine!

That’s lovely ideas!

noted about the doctors kit, the ones I looked at Amazon have loads of accessories so sharing should be okay but good point about an extra gown!
