I am in the same situation, and I have no idea what to get! Any suggestions? It's a tough one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-present-for-a-2-year-old-whos-moving-soon#post-1067592 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 13:41:59 +0000 banana 1067592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I just remembered that I bought this for my friend's 2 year old daughter for her airplane trip to Hawaii.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Preschool-Color-Activity-Roger-Priddy/dp/0312513178/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1378406719&#038;sr=1-3&#038;keywords=sticker+books+2+years+old#reader_0312513178" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Preschool-Color-Activity-Roger-Priddy/dp/0312513178/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1378406719&#038;sr=1-3&#038;keywords=sticker+books+2+years+old#reader_0312513178</a></p> <p>My friend told me that she was playing with this for over an hour.

I avoid toys and clothes bc it's hard to know what they already have, sizing, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-present-for-a-2-year-old-whos-moving-soon#post-1067438 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 12:53:49 +0000 banana 1067438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A personalized book sounds great, especially since she has tons of toys and clothes already. Or maybe something that she can travel with, like a little notebook/crayon set. Something that she can play with during her airplane/car rides. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-present-for-a-2-year-old-whos-moving-soon#post-1067402 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 12:42:27 +0000 heffalump 1067402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a birthday party coming up for LO's friend. She's 2 and her daddy is in the military so they move a lot. She already has tons of toys and clothes.... and I don't want to get her just another toy that they have to move with or won't even want to deal with. Any suggestions? Should I go with a personalized book or something? </p>
