My son will be 2 in January, Christmas is around the corner and I would love some present ideas.

I am saying 2-3 as he will be playing with them for some time (I hope) and develop a lot throughout the year x

We tried to go mainly indoor toys for one and mainly outdoor toys for the other. I know that he probably won't get to play with the outdoor toys much in January but he'll have months of use out of them

Dd is getting from us as well as famkly

Schleich animals (safari but we already have a farm and animals)
Ride on tractor

Some extra track and accessories for brio

I've tried to add and request others do to sets we already have. Both my children are really into small world play so Happyland, schleich, brio etc are big hits

My son has just turned 2 and we already have lots of duplo and Thomas the tank engine toys from his older brother that he plays with so we have got him

Wooden push along London bus
Farm set and animals
Small push along tractor
Talking Hey Duggie

First of all, thank you so much for your suggestions, they all sound great. We have a lot of wooden toys and his imagination is slowly developing (he's started feeding teddy and Dino etc), been driving all his cars etc around making the appropriate noises etc. We have a tonie box and I ordered the peppa tonie.

We have a few suggestions of the below already but will add what we're now adding to the Xmas and birthday list

@JiltedJohnsJulie
Balance bike
Floor mat road circuit - I ordered this one as it's for indoors and outdoors https://lullabuy.co.uk/waytoplay-king-of-the-road-flexible-road-40-piece-set?gclid=CjwKCAiAnvj9BRA4EiwAuUMDf95rsq8VPCSAtxte9P-Wdfl0J0IJCWbXrO7pv4IcUzxwaUcjrpzVRoCouoQAvDD_BwE
@Fivemoreminutes1
Bath toys - love your collection and he definitely needs new ones!
@17caterpillars1mouse
Doctor set - I will keep that in the cupboard until he's about 2 1/2 - love it though!!
Peppa busy book
More Duplo (we got the train so far)
@beakyboo10 it sounds like both our children are very much into vehicles (maybe most boys are, I'm not sure haha)
Bus + tractor sounds great and yes some more books
@lancslass17 mine loved dinosaurs as well!! I will have a look what we can get, maybe some wooden ones.
