One of my good friend's daughters is turning 2 and we're going to a party for her in a couple of weeks. What does one buy for a 2 year old girl these days?

 [sm_dontknow] Itunes gift card?


I have no idea what a 2 year old girl would want despite owning a near 2 year old boy myself.  Although he looks girlish with his flowing locks and big blue eyes, he is all boy when it comes to toys.  He plays with toy cars and trucks constantly and loves to wrestle. 

I imagine doll like things would be good.  Perhaps a Dora the Explorer DVD or paraphanelia. 

Whatever you get her she'll take the box and turn it into a playhouse/kitchen/vehicle and use it more than the actual gift inside.  ;)

If you walk down the aisle at your local store that carries toys, anything Fisher-Price will probably work nicely for a two year old.

Depending on your relationship with the parents, I'd be wary of anything that makes noise.


Second Fuzzy on anything F.P.  or look for a "baby".

Get her makeup. I hear they are starting to do that younger every year. She could start a trend.

That or a cell phone.

Considering also that they're the type who will never forget and are likely to repay the favor exponentially, we'll not be buying anything that has potential for annoyance. I know she's pretty big on Elmo, but I just can't bring myself to it. I proposed a roll of quarters, you know so she can just buy something for herself, but the wife says that's probably not a good idea.

serious response....Look for a leappad toy in her age range.

NSFW language

I think she has one of those things, I'll have to figure out which one. That's the other thing I failed to mention, this child has everything.  ::)

then get her a glass of HTFU

Not to sound Phileo-esque, but ... then get her something that doesn't set you back too much.  She likely won't play with it amidst the rubble, anyway.



My niece was huge into The Wiggles (we hate them), any toy that blinked and made noise (we hate them), and was getting into Dora and Barbie (we're OK with them, although I think Barbie has kind of a trampy vibe).  At the risk of starting her on that dark, humid road to lesbianism, how about a soccer ball or something that actually requires some physical activity?

Aske already kind of brought up the stripper pole idea. Probably frowned on by the parents though.

Clive does have a point. What about a set of small plastic kids golf clubs? Should probably be thrown out there as this is Golfho's after all.

Bubble lawn mowers kick ass.  Always a hit.

Soccer balls, golf clubs, and a lawn mower. I might as well get her some Birkenstocks, a flannel shirt, a bottle of patchouli, and some hair clippers with a #3 guard on them.

Stripper pole it is. Never too early to get her on the road to learning a vocation.

LMAO!

Maybe a Rubik's Cube.

LOG!

Clive hates the wiggles! :o :o

You know this could start a very hostile environment amongst the Yanks and Aussies on this board. [sm_dramaqueen] [sm_stir] [sm_enguard]

Where do you think Stroh got his ****y finger pointing from, it was from the wiggles. ;D

Is 2 too young for a can of mace??

Twoiron, what are you doing here, I thought that you were busy hanging out with criminals.

I'm on lunch... the court is only a block away from my office...

LOL  teh internets  FTW!

Sadly there's no internets in the court room [sm_shock]

didn't know you were allowed to surf the internet while serving on a jury, much less as the foreman! [sm_shock]

How about a Bag O' Glass?
