2yo Gifts?

[lovesherheels]

My DS is turning two next month and I'm getting the (very appreciated) "What does DS1 need?" line of questioning. And fun fact: I (again) have absolutely no idea. 


Any suggestions? What were must haves for your two-year-olds?

DS is 2 in Nov and I'm in the same boat (not helpful!).

My DS has been all about vehicles since he was 10 months old (construction vehicles in particular since roughly 2). The biggest hit for his 2nd birthday was the green toys car carrier. He also started to get into duplos then too.

ETA: my H purchased this cheap construction car carrier full of construction vehicles off Amazon. DS played with that thing for a solid 2 hours straight the day he got it.

Thomas trains and matchbox car tracks were a big hit when my older son turned 2. He also loved puzzles at that age

MagnaTiles, MagnaTiles and more MagnaTiles. Both of my kiddos started playing with them shortly before turning 2, and they’re still a favorite toy at 8 and 4 now.

This has been a huge hit with my kids, and my niece loved ours so much my mom just bought her one for her second birthday. Someone here recommended it.

Things we don’t have but I want:

A sensory swing if we had a tree large enough to support it

Someone just gave DS the Elsa Ice Palace Little People set and he LOVES it. We have a bunch of other Little People Sets (a house, a barn, a camper, and a truck) so he's into those.

A ride along car or trike
A foam couch from Wayfair
A toy grill and a toy campfire from the Disney Store.
Anything that makes noise
Those electronic books with the little squares. He particularly likes the Baby Shark one because it plays a lot of nursery rhymes he knows.
Books in general.

I ask this question a few weeks ago, and the most popular answer was the Melissa and Doug Ice cream set. I ended up getting the cookie set, and the gift recipient seemed to like it.
