Has to be store bought as I need to buy it tomorrow morning. Ideas? I'm sure ELC is on the list but this delightful kid has a [LIFTED] massive family, so need to avoid clashing. Budget is probably £10-15. Any ideas guys?

Does he have anything like Brio Trains or Duplo that you could add to?

Avoid: - Drum kits
- Trumpets
- Anything noisy
- Anything messy
My own personal suggestion is that there's no such thing as too many fluffy tigers. _________________Jim

Given it was my two year old nephew's birthday last month, I can tell you the presents that went down well were
1) Anything that blew bubbles
2) Anything that looked like a train
3) Anything with the word 'Tonka' on the packaging.

Thank you boys!
Jon, I don't know. Safer to assume not I suppose. On the fluffy animal front, I've heard Peppa Pig mentioned, but that seems like it would be easy to duplicate an existing possession/gift. The rest of it makes sense. Store suggestions?
Argos? Where else?

ELC have a sale on.
John Lewis etc all are good.
Generally any Brio compatible train set would be good as you can never have too much track

It's never so bad to be duplicating a soft toy, as it means one can be washed whilst the other is still in use.

I bought my 2 yead old cousin a toy hammer. It had flashing lights and sounds and he loved it. Drove my aunt and uncle nuts but the kid loved it.

IMo, one of the joys of being an uncle is being able to buy said toddler toys that will drive his parents to the edge of insanity
