Moms with 2+ kids, who feel like they have everything already? 😄 What do you gift for birthdays? Two years old just snuck up so fast, and I don't know what to do. Everything I look at was already gifted to the older one, and they already have it. Helpppppp

Ekaterina Salina What kind of things are we talking about? All kinds of transportation, both summer and winter… play kitchens, vanity tables, dollhouses, doll furniture like cribs, high chairs, etc. All doctor kits, hairdresser sets, ball pits, a Swedish wall with a climbing wall, interactive and regular toys, magnetic and Lego building blocks, and so on and so forth, the list is endless

Kristina Ugh, I have a whole section in my journal for developmental activities and resources. Check out what you like… mine is a little older, so I'll have to think about which ones will work.

Ekaterina Salina Ugh, what a bummer :)))
Well, at that age, the gift is more important to the parents, and the child might be happy with a big plush toy from their favorite cartoon.
My older one has a pillowcase that's a dog. It's not even a whole dog, just the head. But he fell so in love with it at 2 years old that he dragged it everywhere with him around the house and only slept with it. And even now, it's still in his bed, though it looks pretty sad:)

What she loves:
At 2 years old, she really loved Play-Doh sets and Lego Duplo.

Ekaterina Salina Wish I could go to the water park))
No, I'm not suffering or trying to fulfill my own unmet desires. For now, we have gifts like experiences – theaters, water parks, etc. – but we have a lot of relatives who are eager to spoil us))

Books, board games, or completing an existing set, like dresses for a doll.

You can never have too many books. A photoshoot. Pierced ears with gold earrings. Her own plush toy (yes, another one). Her own doll (yes, another one).
I was at a 3-year-old girl's birthday party once, and she had an older sister. The girl was happy with her 10th doll, new doll clothes, new books, another Playmobil set, her own little purse, some beads/bracelets (even though she has tons of old ones, these are new!), and new dresses to dress up as a Disney princess (aka costume dresses).
And for the future – so I don't have to rack my brain thinking about what to gift for birthdays/New Year's, I don't buy new things without a reason during the year, or I buy minimally.

Natalya Then give experiences instead of more toys!

Kristina Thanks for the ideas!
But I'll share my opinion: I think a photoshoot isn't a gift at 2 or 5 years old, even though we do it regularly.
Jewelry, including earrings, I have, but I also don't think that's a gift at 2 – the child just doesn't understand such gifts.

Kristina Then a 10th doll or 150th stuffed animal.
I can write – my son’s favorite toy at 2 years old was a "rocking elephant," like a rocking horse but an elephant. But they gave it to him when he was one, thinking he’d be “too old to play with it” at two, but he adored it.
Maybe you only have a boring wooden rocking horse, so gift a soft one.

Kristina Also, does she have her own personal night light? There are so many different models now, with music, with cartoons, or shaped like cute animals... but here's another question: if you give the younger one something the older one doesn't have, won't there be jealousy and a "I want that too!" situation?

Kristina We have a soft rocker, too! 👌 They gifted it for a year old, and she still plays with it so happily. It has a night light! As for different gifts, my girls are different, so I always try to choose based on their interests.

Kristina I just remembered – about 10 years ago, remember how everyone was buying that "talking hamster" toy? I gave something like that to someone for their 2nd birthday. Except it wasn't a hamster, it was a big, soft otter.

Is the baby talking? Maybe ask her. Maybe she wants hair clips and bows, or maybe a purse or a backpack.

Ekaterina Salina Perfect!!! Bingo!

inga I'm not saying everyone, I'm just saying my personal ideas for gifts are running dry) and I'm talking about age-appropriate gifts, specifically for a two-year-old.
And millionaires nowadays (I think) aren't really considered super rich people anymore)))
