Second birthday presents...

[CRWx]

What did your LOs get/are you getting them for their second birthday?

I’m genuinely stumped with what to get my DD as I feel like she’s so spoilt (in the best way) from me and everyone else that it’s left me with little margin on what to get her for her birthday. She’s currently into babies, frozen, minnie mouse and smurf’s- she got baby stuff, Anna/Elsa galore, Minnie Mouse toys/car mat/clothes for Christmas... argh!

I usually get her at least one sentimental present from myself but between birthdays/Christmas/christening she’s got a watch, bracelet, necklace and a special book so I can’t even fall back on that!

I know it’s such a first world problem and I am *SO* appreciative that she has what she does but I’m so stuck... help!

2 is a great age to get role play stuff.
Kitchen?
Playhouse?
Garden stuff maybe- trampoline, swing, slide etc?
Any doll stuff she doesn't have- double pushchair, bath, doll carrier?
Duplo- the Duplo at our playgroup is so popular, I love playing with it too . There's a Duplo farm and Duplo zoo which are lovely.

What about puzzles? Books? Duplo? Trip to zoo or children's museum? Art supplies?

 

[ClairAye]

I'll see if I can actually remember...

Eldest - Dolls buggy (the basic umbrella fold one), 2 dolls (twin set from Tesco), fire engine... My mind is stumped there lol.

Youngest - Tea set, singing Peppa Pig, Stickle Bricks... Can't remember again ha.

Other things maybe-

Play food, kitchen, wee trampoline, swing, sandpit, books, dressing up, Mega Blocks or baking supplies (apron, whisk, spoons etc)?

Oh yes, building things are great- stickle bricks, building straws, those metallic building frame things which clip together.
Puzzles and drawing stuff are great too

Thanks so much girls!

She’s already got a kitchen (and the stuff for it), doll stuff (pushchair, highchair, bits and pieces for them) although I might get her a car seat so she can wander around with her doll in there , trampoline/slide/swing, drawing bits and bobs- you can see why I’m so stumped, haha.

I had a brain wave to get her a CD player and CDs for her bedroom so she can listen to music in her bedroom (she loves a dance lol!) and found some lovely bunting and a hair clip holder on NOTHS which won’t be any fun for her but will look nice in her room, haha!

Nanny is getting her a scooter and she has a trike- do you think a balance bike would be a waste of time?

If she likes music how about the vtech microphone?

She might be a tad too small for a balance bike but come Summer she would be fine! Fab idea.

For my DDs 2nd birthday in April we are planning to get her a balance bike.

What about the basic sylvanian families house? With some families. DD got one for Xmas and it is her favourite thing to play with now, I’ve taken away all the little bits and bobs so she has the house, some furniture and some families plus she also got a car for it.

We got James a Paw Patrol ride on car which he loves. We also got presents like picture books, cars, a ball, a car garage, etc. There tended to be a vehicle theme as he is obsessed with vehicles!

 

[CRWx]

This is what I’ve got ordered so far! Not sure if it’s enough ‘fun’ things for her

 

[amytrisha]

Sand/water table, phonics board, tub of beads & strings, personalised cutlery, peg puzzles, story books x
