What to get for the 2 year old who has everything??

Following on from my 'siblings' thread, I realise a lot of my problem is that I have a huge list of stuff I would just loooove to buy for ds1, who is just four and getting to a really interesting play stage, but no idea about ds2! We already have all the basic boys toys. I am kind of tempted to get him stuff that is still a bit beyond him and will appeal more to ds1, but I know that's not fair.
Any good ideas for a just 2 year old - nice, substantial presents that will last for a while - who already has most standard things?

money in a savings account, that he can't touch until 21 at least!
Failing that, a trampoline?

Younger sibling always more difficult. Can you get add-ons to toys you've already got or something that might not be considered a "boy's toy" - eg a play kitchen or something?

a big box of ribbons, pompoms and glitter

bozza - we already have a kitchen (ds1's second birthday present!) but I was thinking of something along the lines of a dolls house....
bundle you might be on to something there - maybe I should just spend all my money on ds1 and get something like craft or playdoh for ds2 - its probably the last christmas when he won't notice!

a wooden castle?
mini trampoline

Do you think he would be an OK age for a wooden doll's house or a bit young yet? I think its OK to get something that both will play with as long as you specify that it is DS2's.
