Need suggestion for 2 years old gift idea

[MummyRoo]

We visited my gran last week and my son LOVED a little bell that she has. I'm looking at getting him some tuned handbells for his birthday, now

Other ideas I had (which can be shared without people thinking I'm nuts )

A marble run
tools
an ironing board and iron (boys want to imitate mummy, too!)
playfood you can cut/put together
rubber stamps
finger/hand puppets
some form of garage/car track


I had considered one of those pop-up tunnels to encourage crawling, but he still needs no encouragement there  maybe by his birthday...

I'd also love to get a swing set with monkeybars, but they are way too expensive

inner carbon tube of a toilet roll and stuff with a table tennis ball inside..

Some books, puzzles, balls,blocks, farms..etc
hope thisn helps

My son (19months) has a balance bike that he loves.
He also has the leapfrog laptop, he has lost interest in that. I have very few electronic toys and they really don't interest him.

i bought the "Leap Frog Laptop " for my 2 yo niece. I dont' know if she'll like it, I didnt' give it to her yet, but it does have nice reviews from Amazon.com

She has a laptop which she only uses in my car. She can push buttons and that's about it. I might look into leapfrog tho. Thanks for the suggestion.

I made a list of things to get from this and thank you so much for your ideas. I couldn't resist and got her a set of stacking blocks from Melissa & Doug and she LOVED it. She plays with it 30 minutes at a clip!

Hi, my son just celebrated his 1st birthday on June 12th and I bought him NOTHING!! Actually, I got him a Haagen Daaz cake but that doesn't count 

Like all mothers, I wanted to give him everything and I made a list as well. Dear hubby wanted to have a party, as usual. In the end, I put my foot down and decided that all I wanted was to spend quality time with my DS and we had a lovely dinner with both set of grandparents. Grandma bought him some new dress-up clothes and my mum gave him a 'substantial' pocket money that went straight into his college fund. He also got a toy robot ALPHIE 'playskool' from my sisters. I insisted that all toys must be educational if anyone is getting DS a toy. He loved it, more that his Leapfrog alphabet pad. Daddy got him a huge inflatable pool that will last till he's at least 6. Spoiled!!

Besides the cake, I didn't buy him anything else because when I sat down and reflect on the past 1 year, I realised that I probably bought too much already. I already have enough toys to put on rotation for 1 month without repetition! I also observed that the more toys he has,the less interested he became. Hence, the rotation. No, I didn't turn frugal overnight, just more conscious of the line between spoiling and loving. Nowadays, we spend on books(libraries in Malaysia r hopeless) and wooden toys, just to emphasize montessori at home. Just some food for thought.

 I can't wait until her birthday to buy her gifts.    I have to report that the two  most recent purchases were both a success!

First one
http://www.amazon.com/Melissa-Doug-10-Piece-Alphabet-Stacking/dp/B000GIL2DU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1312602145&sr=8-1

second one
http://www.amazon.com/Casio-CTK-2100-Personal-Keyboard-Headphones/dp/B002KG9LWU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1312602320&sr=8-1

She has been playing both of them since they got in the door. The stacking blocks has so many different ways to play she LOVES it! She will play with them for 5-30 minutes and 3-5 times a day! Great great investment. I got it from T.J. Max for $7.99. What a steal!

The piano was my gift but she wants to play with it of course since mama is playing with it. Every time she goes downstairs, she will hit the keys few times, turn the disco music background on and dance for a while. Too cute. I plan on have her learn how to play it maybe after 3 anyways. This is even better!

My son has stacking blocks like that. Different brand. He loves them. They provide hours of entertainment for him too.

If you still need some suggestions, I just bought my niece and nephew some amazing toys that they are obsessed with. They literally can't get enough!

I bought an easel for my daughters second birthday and she loved it, it has a chalkboard on one side and a magnetic whiteboard on the other. We use it with magnetic letters and to draw, paint, colour and do worksheets.

Sounds awesome, that sounds fun and educational. What a brilliant idea.
