2 year old gift help

Our nephew will be two at the end of October.  I'm really trying to avoid getting him a toy because he is spoiled beyond belief with toys.  Whatever gift I give, I always give a book too.

I do give savings bonds at Christmas so that is out. 

He's not really 'into' anything (like trucks, trains, etc) so that doesn't help.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: 2 year old gift help

  • Coloring books and crayons? A wooden puzzle that spells out his name?
  • Could you possible take him to the zoo, aquarium, please touch museum or one of the big bouncy places one day?  Or even take him to a local farm, etc and basically do a big day out.  He will probably not miss opening a present, but he would most likely love having a day out.

    He doesn't like being separated from his mom just yet, but this is a fantastic idea for him and his sister for Christmas, so thanks!

  • Jen, right before Thanksgiving, the PTM has a promotion where you can get $40 off the basic 4 person membership.  That is my parents' Christmas gift to the kids every year

    Sam is way into puzzles right now

  • My nephew is turning two in two weeks. His invitation came with the website for his wishlist. Would you like me to read you a few items from it? Confused

    We're totally giving him a savings bond. Just like we did for his first birthday (regardless of a wishlist for that one too) and like we do for Christmas. He has more than enough crap to play with.

  • haha i made a wishlist for milo's birthday/christmas but unless someone asks it is not going out with the invite.

  • I hate giving kids gift cards but since I suck at gift giving for children, I always give Build a Bear GC's for 1st bdays.  I'm sure it'd be good for a 2nd bday as well.  Plus if said kid is close to you, you can take them and be part of the experience which is cool.
