We just wrapped up Channukah and this is what my son's haul was (from us and family) T-ball set lots of fleece jacket/coats lots of books (the big hits have been Thomas the Train books and "Trains Go.") Blocks a skateboard and helmet potty seat and stool trunki socks a giant book of stickers new shoes a puzzle pajamas
For Christmas he's getting a balance bike, a backpack, and more blocks
Holy cats! I feel like I'm cheating my DS now! Really, though, DS doesn't need anything.
He's getting a tricycle (a used one if I can find one in good condition) and ball.
If I can find a balance bike I like I may just do that instead b/c I think he will be ready for that this summer (I live in the arctic and he can't ride until late April/Mid May at the earliest…)
I did some stocking stuffer shopping for him and he's getting refrigerator ABC magnets, a new Nalgene bottle and I can't remember what else.

I feel your pain. I had a very difficult time shopping for DS.
We are getting DS: Imaginext play set Remote control car Dress up clothes -he plays with his sister's now : ) A few cars/trucks Dinosaur Sit n spin Cars for his train table Water bottle
He already has and loves: train table, a ride on toy, puzzles, and their Step 2 rollercoaster.
We just got done with Hanukkah--we do both. For Hanukkah she got the Loving Family doll house and 4 "furniture" sets to go with it--5 days, a tag reader, a small duplo set, and a small toy story set.
Christmas she is getting a bigger duplo set and the toddler princess dolls from the movie Frozen. (That is the ONLY thing she has been asking for). She asks for it every morning.
Last year at almost 2, he got a play kitchen with food, pots and pans, and utensils, a shopping cart, puzzles, books, and a balance bike.
This year, he's getting a wooden train set, a personalized engineer hat and bandana, a book about trains, and some little things for his stocking. Some other things on his wish list are: Kidkraft fire station, Lincoln Logs, M&D shape sorter clock and cupcake kit, and Magnatiles.
We are only getting her a few small things. Her birthday was in October and she got tons then and I know everyone else is in a buying frenzy so we kept it simple.

The intent is for them to share the train table and kitchen. We also got an outdoor cottage for both of them.
Her big gifts include a contribution to her college savings fund and a gymnastics class.
Smaller gifts include toys like a playdoh kit with scissors and shape cutters, an ABC puzzle, and a sit and spin. I don't go overboard on toys because they get a lot of toys from other family members.
