DD got a table & chair set from her grandparents which she still loves & uses every day, she's now 3. She also loved her dolly & pram she got, once again something she still enjoys today, she enjoys it more now though LOL

If you've got the room on the back yard maybe a cubby house/ play gym type thing. We got DD a second hand one off ebay for her second Christmas, she would have been about 20 months old. She LOVED it & still does.

I hope I've been of some help

I'm in a similar boat, not sure what to get DD for Christmas this year & will be laybying it when the toy sales start soon..... its so hard every year!
