Christmas gift ideas 1 - 2 years | A lot of good Christmas gifts for the 1- 2 year old 2017

Christmas is approaching and everyone is looking for Christmas gift ideas, or a wish list we could call it, for the little ones. But it can be challenging as a parent to think about what toys would be nice right now, or it can just be hard to think of the right gifts. We've tried to make that easier by listing a bunch of super great Christmas gift ideas for little ones between 1 - 2 years old. All the toys on the list have been selected to be particularly suitable for this age and the developmental stage that children are at now. Of course, all children are different and have different interests. So while a doll may be the best gift for one child, it may not be for the next. Maybe you can find out what your child wants by watching what she plays with now. Maybe it's the building blocks that are a hit, or maybe it's the wilder games that are fun. Then a trampoline or swing set might be the thing.

List of Christmas gift ideas for children 2017

On the list we have chosen to mention Christmas gift ideas in different price ranges. It is not always the most expensive Christmas gift is the best. That's why you'll find gifts from around DKK 100 up to around DKK 4,000.

A treadmill can be a great gift for a child aged 1.5 - 2 years. At this age, he or she has a pretty good handle on walking, so it's a fun challenge to move forward on the bike.

How to choose the best Christmas gift 2017

When choosing a Christmas gift for your 1 or 2 year old, it is of course a good idea to first review their current toys. This could be toys they have received as a birthday present, or perhaps a Christmas present from one of the other years. If there's something they don't play with anymore, you might consider donating it to charity, selling it, or maybe just packing it away for a while. As you go through the toys, notice which toys he or she is currently spending the most time playing with. If you find toys similar to this, then it will most likely be one of the good Christmas gift ideas for children aged 1 - 2.

Why it's a good idea to buy Christmas gifts online

Many parents buy Christmas presents for their children online. There's no need to queue in crowded shops, and it's easy to keep track of Christmas ideas and wish lists. On the wish list, you can easily link to the toy your child wants for his or her birthday. At the same time, you can often save money by buying Christmas presents online. They are often sold at a lower price than in a physical shop. At the same time, it is quite easy to keep the packages hidden from the children, because you cannot see what is inside when they come from online shops. During the Christmas season and the big sales of Christmas presents, several toy shops offer to wrap the presents. It's another great way to save time and enjoy Christmas shopping. It's great to find great Christmas gift ideas for children and see the joy in their eyes when they open their Christmas presents.
