My daughters 2nd birthday is coming up on the 2nd march and seeing as she got quite a lot of presents for Christmas I am struggling to think of anything to get her for her birthday. She has the usual happyland toys which she plays with occasionally but if anyone has any ideas of good presents for a 2 year old girl, suggestions would be appreciated

We did get Bugglet a cardboard playhouse for her 2nd birthday - was fab as it didn't cost anywhere near as much as many of the playhouses, and could be "decorated" by bugglet as she chose. We did up grade to this one:

For her birthday this year - both pack up easily if not wanting to have them out all the time.

As above really, kitchen stuff (pots, pans etc), baking equipment (play or real so you can do it together), ironing board (no stereotypes here but she loved it!) kettle, tea set, blackboard and chalks, sticker books, playmobil figures and accessories, pop up books, play food, large piece jigsaws, puppets/puppet theatre, dressing up clothes?


I have the same issue for my now 3 yr old, she had a load of stuff for Xmas and we were a bit stumped especially as she is still playing with the same kinda of toys she did over the last year but she gets bored of them easily, erm...a new iron!? We've gone for a vtech digital camera and a CD player, very grown up.

My daughter is a couple of weeks younger than yours and loves tea set, play food, scooter, art stuff, puzzles and duplo we are having the same issues, my mum pays for her mr tumble magazine each month as a present and we ask for money for swimming lessons (water babies) she had a little wooden cake stand with wooden cakes for Xmas, that was a big hit!

maybe just get her clothes etc then or a selection of small treats like stickers, extra bits to go with toys she already has, etc? if you really want her to have a big present you could always put the money aside and get her something midway through the year when you see something you know she would really like.


we realised after xmas that actually what we need is a play kitchen!!!! and have just bitten the bullet and ordered one as i am about to have no. 2 and am hopeful that it will occupy him when i am busy with the baby and all the kitchen-y stuff that comes along with a newborn and then weaning infant.


something we have recently got as a family present is an adult scooter and i have to say that has made a big impact on our outings - my son loves to scoot after his dad on the big scooter so it has made him use his scooter a lot more (and a lot more skilfully). hopefully i will be able to join in once i have my balance back!

    • Hello. Would you like a sofa bed? We have one to give away…photos attached. The scatter cushions are not included.
    • Complaint submitted.  Your helpful link took me straight to the relevant page. 🙏
    • I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience    
    • Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
