I am bad with gifts for boys in general. Any ideas in the $10-15 range would be very welcome! Two is such a difficult age to buy for because they are generally past baby toys but not into those bigger boys toys either.
My son loves his Little Tikes tee ball set. It's a few bucks over your price range but it's one of his favorites. He gets a good hit and yells "HEY I'm Big Papi!"
Re: Need a bday gift for 2 yo boy
Play Dough. Cookie Cutters. = JOY.
Or bath toys. Those are fun. Or summer toys. Those balls that hold water are popular around here.
Stickers. Kids love stickers. Bubbles? Bubbles are awesome.

He also has a toolbelt similar to this one that he plays with regularly:

He really likes tractors and there's a book series written by a local author called Tractor Mac that he loves.
That cheap golf club set is awesome, but word of warning, my son always used it more like Jack Nicholsen and not Jack Niklaus.

This melissa and Doug car carrier was my 2 year old's favorite Christmas present. He still plays with it EVERY day:

I recently bought Elefun for a 2 yr old. I've seen kids his age play it and absolutely love it.

Elefun is a great idea. Cars, books, sidewalk chalk.
