I am so excited to share all of my Christmas gift ideas for 2 year old by sharing our wishlist for Liv this year! A lot of the items on this list we have already ordered for her but I wanted to hopefully give you some ideas for the toddlers in your life if you’re still looking for some gift ideas.
I hope this post gives you all of the ideas you needed to finish up your Christmas shopping for your toddler!
Toniebox | Top gift ideas for 2 year old
Toniebox Starter Set with Playtime Puppy
We thought about getting this for her last Christmas but felt like she was too young. She just turned 2 in August of this year, so she seems to be at the perfect age for this.
I cannot wait for her to start using it!
I originally wasn’t going to add this one on here because I thought it only played Disney stories or songs, but apparently it compatible with more than that.
It plays classic fairy tales like The Gruffalo, The Little Prince, or Peter Rabbit.
It plays educational content like songs about numbers, letters and animals. Songs and rhymes for kids, such as lullabies or dance music and even your own creative-tonies, which you can personalize by recording your own audio or uploading custom content.
Some ideas that come to mind for custom content could consist of personal notes, letters or thoughts to your kids, Bible stories, etc.
Tonie Characters
I took a look at as many tonie characters as I possibly could before selecting the few below that I felt would be perfect for Liv. There are a ton more for you to choose from, including Disney characters, but these are the few that stood out for me.
We did not get her any of the characters because we figured it would make a great gift idea from family if they needed one for her. If no one ends up getting any, we will probably grab one or two in the meantime to include with her toniebox.
I am looking forward to expanding her tonie collection of screen-free audio!
Tonie Audio Play Characters on our wishlist for Liv
Tonie carrying case
Carrying Case for Toniebox and Figurines
I thought this was a cute idea to keep all of the tonie characters and toniebox all in one place so they can carry it around as they please (depending on where they’re playing and listening).
Anything from Melissa and Doug | More great gift ideas for 2 year old
Okay, I am obsessed with this brand. Everything is wooden and just makes sense too! Here’s a handful of great gift ideas from the brand. These are all things I know Liv would love.
Wooden gifts from Melissa & Doug we are eyeing for Liv
Birthday Party Cake
Liv is always singing happy birthday so I had to include this one in here. She would love it!
Beauty Salon Play Set
I’ve been wanting to get her a play makeup set for a while because she loves sitting and watching me do mine. I catch her pretending to put on makeup a lot haha. This would be perfect.
Pizza Party Play Food Set
Cookie Play Food Set
Farm Cube Puzzle
This girl has a handful of wooden Melissa & Doug puzzles already, but I feel like she needs something a little more challenging and this is the perfect one!
The Wheels on the Bus Sound Puzzle
Food Groups
I almost didn’t include this one in here because we just got a ton of play food from her cousins, but figured I’d leave it because it’s still a great gift idea for any little kiddo.
Bear Family Dress Up Puzzle
As soon as I saw this, I HAD to include it. I know she would LOVE playing with this one!
Latches Board Sensory Activity
Gathre Indoor Trampoline
Gathre Trampoline
I am soooo bummed because this was one of the first Christmas gift ideas i had for Liv, but it’s unfortunately sold out everywhere and on back order.
You can still order it as a gift, but it won’t arrive until January!
She’s always jumping on the bed, the couch, etc. so I felt this would be perfect for her to get her energy out on and help her regulate throughout the day.
Bouncy House | One of my favorite gift ideas for 2 year old
Bounceland Pastel Bouncer with Slide + 30 pastel plastic balls
I am SO excited to get this set up for her on Christmas! She is going to go nuts when she sees it! She is always talking about the bouncy house at her cousin’s party, the bouncy at the fire station that one night and on and on.
She’s going to be so stoked! Plus, it’s super cute!
Climbing Set
7 in 1 Indoor Montessori Indoor Wooden Climbing Set
Another great gift for toddlers to get all of their climbing out on. And I love that the one piece doubles as a fun rocking chair that comes with a cozy cushion to lounge and rock in!
Kitchen Play Set
Tiny Land Wooden Play Kitchen
Liv was just given a ton of play food from her cousins recently so this will be great for storing it all! Plus, she is definitely in that phase of play cooking and pretend eating. It’s so cute!
I can’t wait to get this set up for her!
Backpack
Itzy Ritzy Toddler Strawberry Backpack
Okay, this is another bummer that is saying it could arrive a few days before Christmas or not until January so I am skipping on it for now.
However, if you have a kiddo who would love something like this, it would be a great…late…Christmas gift! Plus the last time I checked, it was highly discounted.
Books | Better than toys gift ideas for 2 year old
IMO you can NEVER have too many books! Reading expands the mind and it’s so good to get as many words and stories and ideas into our little ones’ minds as possible. And it all starts with books!
Books we are looking to add to Liv’s bookshelf because she loooves books
There’s a bear in my chair book
See you later, alligator book
My first book of emotions for toddlers
Llama llama hide & seek book
Seek and find Old Testament Bible Stories
1 2 3 Count with me
Eyes, nose, belly, toes
God takes care of me
Kindness makes us strong
Let’s go to the potty!
I will always be proud of you
The story of Jesus
Bookshelf for all those new books
I was envisioning this scalloped bookshelf filled with new books and a big, pretty bow for her to come out to Christmas morning!
Kids Wooden Bookshelf with Scalloped Edges
So this is one of the gift ideas I had that we did not end up ordering. Bob is thinking about building it. Which, if you follow me on Instagram Stories, you saw him build her a learning tower a while back that she uses daily so I have full faith he can pull this one off too.
It still makes a great gift though if you’re looking for something like this for your kid(s). And especially if you need a place for all of their books! I love that you’re able to see the front cover with this display.
Dream Story Machine
Little Tikes Story Dream Machine
My sister actually sent this to me a while ago and I thought it was the cutest thing! It’s similar to the toniebox where it’s basically screen free, but it shows the book displayed up on the wall.
I believe it plays sound so they can read along with the book. Which is now making me realize you can take a little break from reading to them when you use this! haha.
Stacking Rocks
Wooden Stacking Rocks
I thought this would be something that would keep them intrigued for a while. They’re also made from wood.
This was another idea I had, but I don’t think we are getting it for her.
Stocking stuffers we are thinking of getting her | Stocking stuffer gift ideas for 2 year old
Stocking stuffers we are getting for Liv
Toddler Sunglasses
Kids Camera
Mini flower hair clips
Honey Sticks Bath Crayons
Mushie phone press toy
Headbands
Detangler Mini Hairbrush
Buckle Cow Toy
Sensory Suction Tubes Toys
I am also doing an advent calendar with her. This is the one I’m using here. This is a tradition I am starting this year and so excited to continue it with our kids every year. It’s never too late in my opinion to start one! It’s going to be so fun!
I hope this gift guide gave you some ideas and I am looking forward to creating even more helpful posts for you! Let me know if you end up purchasing any of the ideas from my gift guide and if you have any ideas to add!
xo, Kristen
