Hoping for a few Christmas gift suggestions for my 18 month old niece. It can be something she can use now or an outside toy for her to use next summer.
I feel like she has just a good amount of toys and is set on clothes, so I'm stumped.
I'm looking to spend about $100. Any ideas? My only thought so far was a tricycle that has the removable handle for parents to steer, but I'm not sure if this is in the right age range.

When my niece was about this age, she was into dress up stuff. I know it was beyond her age, but I got her a disney dress up trunk with dresses and plastic jewelry and tiaras and my SIL said she loooved it.

Play vacuum, mop etc are very popular at that age. They like to imitate mom. Same with baby doll things.
We got the ballapalooza for my son who is 20 months old.

My kids love this sand and water table: http://www.step2.com/p/Naturally-Playful-Sand-Water-Activity-Center?gclid=CLed57igk7QCFUOK4AodPGQADQ
Or, you could get her a trike or a balance bike: http://www.amazon.com/STRIDER-ST-3-No-Pedal-Balance-Bike/dp/B004Q2YM5C

My 21 month old nephew is very into trucks and boats-- I got him bath boats and he insisted on taking them out of the package immediately and slept with one of them that night. That could very much be a boy thing, though.
He really likes ride on toys, that you can sit on and push. I'm sure that's gender neutral. He is also really into brooms and vaccuums, I think my mom is getting him a kiddie broom so he'll stop using the real one-- he dropped it on my head once!

LO is 18mo, we got him a water table for his birthday and he loved it, last summer. He loves to play with it now, on the porch with no water on warmer days. I think he will have a blast this summer: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12530129&searchURL=false#
He also got a SmartTrike for his birthday and it's a favorite and he heads to it every time we go to the garage.
For Christmas he is getting a Kitchen Helper since he always wants to be near us while cooking dinner. Hoping this might help. I have 2 friends that both have them and said that they loved it for this age.

I want to get this Radio Flyer 4-in-1 trike for my LO when he turns 1. I gets great reviews for kids from 9 months to 5 years!

Water table or sensory box (big tup filled with dry pasta or beans and stuff barried in it for LO to find).
