Shopping for a soon-to-be 2 year old

It is actually hard work trying to buy for a 2 year old's birthday present!
It's such an awkward age - there isn't much out there for that age group, the things that are 2 and under are too babyish and the other things are for 36 months+
I wanted to get my Niece a Dolly set for her birthday - she loves playing with dolls, but do you think i could find her one? Could i heck!!
I managed to get her a few cute outfits and a book titled 'Stories for 2 year olds' - very apt! She loves books too. I still want to get her a dolly set, so i guess i need to try somewhere else.
I will find something - usually at the last minute.
I feel the need to spoil her a bit - she gets left out sometimes and it's sad to see it.
I surprised my Grandad by going to see him today too - I took him a chocolate cake, doughnuts and some dark chocolate - all his favourites, which i had bought while i was out - he was so pleased to see me!
I treated myself to 2 tops and a Tatty Teddy pyjama set too.
It's amazing though really, i bought so many little bits and pieces and only managed to spend about £40 - probably even less than that.
It has been a long day - i feel totally exhausted.
4 bus rides, 2 train rides and 1 taxi ride would exhaust anyone though! So i need to rest for a few days - I have a hospital trip to make this Friday and the following Monday - and they take a heck of alot out of me. So I will be staying in until next Friday for sure, i need to gather my strength, as silly as it sounds.
I hate being this way - just one trip out totally wipes me out physically and mentally, and takes me 2-3 days to recover from - right now, i feel like i have been hit by a bus!
Time to retire to bed...
