My Dd is 2 next month. I'm really struggling for ideas for presents, all i can think of is clothes. She has a fairy princess castle play tent, a dolls pram, lots of dolls, a peppa pig toy kitchen and loads of toys and teddys. Any suggestions?

Outdoor toy for the garden - sandpit, swing etc
Jigsaw puzzles
Start a brio train set - great because you can add to it over the years

DS is about to turn 3. Last year his absolute favourite present was a bubble lawnmower, and he s adores it now even tho duh it was left out all winter so doesn’t turn on.
He also got gardening stuff eg mini greenhouse, tools
Balance bike?
I got my niece (same age) some bug examination binoculars which she loved.
Summer borns are fun to buy for as lots of outdoor stuff!

What about a bilibo? Apparently they are great for all ages, I'm going to get DD2 one for her 1st birthday but will also get 4yo DD1

For dd 2nd birthday we got jigsaw puzzles with under 10 pieces, duplo, play dough and cutters, finger painting book and a mud kitchen. She'd love a dolls house like her friend but we're going to do that for Christmas when she'll be 2 and a half

Ooh also I was going to get a wobbel board but didn’t in the end. They look great but I think something they’ll either love and hate, so you know your child, have a look! Personally I’d like to try that kind of thing before I buy.

Thank you all for your ideas. Outside toys are a no as we have a tiny back yard. She already has a sand pit and paddling pool so wouldn't fit anything else outside. Xx

Balance bike. Best thing we ever bought and makes for great trips to the park.

Annual pass! We got one for our local zoo and it meant we got to spend loads of fun weekends together. Activities like a set of swimming lessons (eg. Waterbabies) is also a good one. I found for my DS's 2nd birthday that we had so much stuff. If you want you can wrap a token present to represent the activity (eg. swimming costume or cuddly lion)
