Christmas presents for 18 month old!

Not sure if this is the right place?
Family have started asking what our little girl wants for Christmas... I am not really a festive person and tend to do things last minute so I need some good ideas to give people so we don't end up with loads of tat and plastic toys in our house!
I'd like to get her a little table and chairs, maybe a special dolly or baby she can look after, a Beanbag or little comfy chair, but those are all big presents!
Any ideas for Christmas presents for this age?

These are things we've got for our 19 month old for Christmas:
Doll and pushchair
Indoor slide/ball run
A wooden honeycomb bee sorting thing
Doctors playset

Grandparents have bought a big present: toniebox

So from others we've asked for:
Tonies
Duplo
Books
Puzzles

Like @LunaNova, books, puzzles, duplo. Duplo is great value secondhand, and usually in very good condition because it's nearly indestructible. We also got a reusable sticker book which has had a huge amount of use (they stick nicely on windows and bathroom tiles as well as in the book). Colouring pencils, paint sticks, and a tea set were also big hits.

Do you have a wooden play kitchen? DD was given a hand me down from her cousins for her 1st birthday. She's now 5 and still loves it. You can then ask for accessories such as saucepans, crockery, play food etc.

Interested in this thread?

Doesn't necessarily need to be presents for this age. They grow so quick between now and next xmas. It can be some things that might not be suitable now but would be great to put by for in 4-6 months time.

Any role play things are great as to start with they'll just handle and play but it's a good way to get talking about things. So a toy kitchen, tea set, little post box, toy fill for playing shops, toy food - the Velcro food you can 'chop' is good.

Books.
Garden toys or planting toys ready for spring.
Dressing up costumes.
Water painting books (not as much mess!).
Basic puzzles.
