I am looking for ideas for what to get a 2 year old girl for christmas? This lovely little girl will get copious amounts of toys so would like to get her something different (I am mad aunty).

I really can't spend much so any ideas anyone?

Is there something she is interested in that you could make a hamper for? Lots of people have commented on how hampers have been well recieved by children. baking, crafting, princess hamper, chocolate themed hamper, gardening.... obviously with age appropriate items in!

Have you thought about books - my DD1 got the complete Roald Dahl set when she was little. We read it chapter at a time for bedtime when she was young and now she is 6 she is reading them on her own. The book people (.co.uk) are great for sets like this - they have things like Mr Men complete sets and Dora the explorer sets with 20 odd books. There is usually vouchers on the vouchers board for them. (and quidco if you use that!)

I got my then 2 year old nephew a peppa pig bedset for xmas last year, he loves it and still tells me how he has peppa pig in his bedroom!

Other things that were well recieved were a sledge (relatively inexpensive £10)
Books, books, books my nephew adores them!

i would suggest a box decorated in xmas wrap then just find little odd bits and bobs to fill it i have done this for lots of children and my own ive popped in mine books (some new or cs/car boot) little craft sets/ arty crafty bits/girly hair accessories/dolls/pens/crayons/colouring books/plain pads etc anything really i have picked up lots of things very cheaply from 3 for 2's to ebay through to charity shop and car boots, you could fill a box/hamper quite easily and cheaply
