I want to get a present for my boyfriends two year old daughter, but I can't think of anything? She likes baby dolls, but she has alot of them already so that's thrown out. She also likes blankets, big legos, and stuffed animals. Got any ideas?
Answer
A two-year old will really, truly, not get the idea, or be pleased, if they get a gift on Christmas. It's really just another day to them. Which is totally why everyone gets toddlers an insane amount of gifts every year, which is nonsense, but that's just my opinion. And yes, I'm a jealous teenager.
Anyways.
If they throw something out a lot, don't get it.
I suggest you get a gift basket for her. A cute one too, so she can carry her things around. Throw in the blankets, legos, stuffed animals, pillows, and might as well get a couple small dolls for her while you're at it.
Sounds pricey? Not that much. I've seen tons of places that set out handmade gift baskets - already wrapped, too - around this time with all that jazz for only twenty bucks.
The stuffed animals, in my experience, toddlers and babies like ones that are just the right size for them, so it's big enough to hug and carry, but small enough so that it's not towering over the little one. Several small plush often overwhelm the child - get a nice big one, and if you insist on smaller ones, give them to your boyfriend to hide. When the time comes, and she's not co-operating or whatever, take it out to bribe them with.
I agree with one of the others on the animal pillow/plush. They come in penguins, lady bugs, dolphins, polar bears, every other animal you can think of, and I've seen them at the mall, in one of those carts. Where I live, they're thirty bucks, but they're really cute and squishy. A two-year old might not get it though.
You can get a blanket customized for her. Choose your color, fabric. Or bring in one of your old ones, and get them to embroider her name, with some cute pictures. Toddlers tend to like pictures that are all over, or running down the sides, instead of just in one corner. Spread the love, you know?
My little brother - he's two - LOVED his Pooh-bear backpack that he got for his birthday. We're training him for daycare soon, and every morning, he sees me carrying mine my backpack to school, so he was super physicked when he got one. Pack it up with some toys, and maybe a sticker book. It's much more efficient and toddler-friendly than a gift basket. He'll have a sort "friend" in the backpack when he starts school, and whatnot. It doesn't even need to be jazzy. My cousins was like a design made ten years ago, with dark colors, and only a Winnie and Tigger on the front. He still carries it around, and it's a month since he got it. That's a pretty long life-span for a child's play toys.
Hope I helped!

Gift for new big brother?
MommyOfThr
My son will be a few months over 2 years old when baby #2 is born, and I want to get him some kind of gift for when the baby is born. Should I get him something to do with being a big brother, or just something he would like? I need some ideas please :)
Answer
I'm in the exact same situation, my son will be 2 and a half when our next boy is born in a couple of weeks!!
My son has shown a really big interest in Toy Story so I was thinking of getting him a Woody or Buzz doll/big figurine... so he has his own 'toy' to look after - boyish version of a baby doll i suppose - plus my son's bday isnt until November so he wont get any presents for a while so may as well get him something he'll enjoy for a while
My son has also started to treat his teddy and his mickey mouse teddy like babies, i have to change thier nappies, they go to the potty, eat at the table etc lol its so cute, so i'm hoping those teddings + the woody/buzz toy i get him, will give him his 'own' baby he can look after when i'm dealing with the new addition :)
