Ideas for present for 2 (nearly 3) year old boy needed!

I'm really struggling! I have got him lots of cars, a garage, and Buzz Lightyear and also a pedal tractor but my daughter has more and now I'm playing catch up/even up and am panicking! He's only really interested in anything with wheels so it makes it hard work, any suggestions?xx

    Is he into trains? A nice wooden train set with some Thomas (?) trains to go with it.

    Another great present is a road layout rug - Argos sell them for £12.99 (code 119/3954). My oldest ds was given one when he was 3 and it is still going strong - he is now 12 btw (ok he doesn't play with it any more, but younger boys do)

    He has a train set that we got for his 2nd birthday lol
  • How about a hand-made/customised/pesonalisd train set? Or a tool box, wooden name train, an action figure, mini car racer?

    Have a look on NOTHS http://www.notonthehighstreet.com/baby-child to get some ideas. :)

  • I've got a 2 nearly 3 year old boy. He's getting lot of duplo and sweets :) I very much doubt he'll be comparing present piles with his sisters!
  • I have a 2 and a half year old boy and this is what I have for him hopefully it will give you some ideas.
