Good present for a number-obsessed 2 yr old?

My friend's little boy is going to be 2 on Monday and I want to get him something he'll really like. He's not yet of an age where he's really "into" and Disney-type characters, but he IS fixated with numbers. I can't think of anything myself, so can anyone think of a good present for about £15, which is numbers-based?

Number fridge magnets - only about £5 from ELC. DD has the letters (aged 3) and loves seeing her name spelled and playing with them. Do tend to end up all over the place (hurt under bare feet!) but sure he'll love them, even if his mummy isn't so keen....

ELC do foam letters for £5 a jar to stick on the side of the bath/tiled wall at bath time, my letter and number mad dd has been using them since she was 2 and they have taught her her letters. She's now 3.5 and still uses them at least 3 times a week - she's in the bath spelling with them right now!

How's about a chalk board, you can get some with magnetic letters n numbers. Argos/ELC type thing
