My nephew's birthday is at the beginning of February and I have to get online shopping to make sure his gift gets to him in NJ by Feb. 2nd.
I always try to get something a little out of the ordinary and thought I would ask you girls for website suggestions to shop on. I've started on amazon and have been perusing etsy but haven't found anything that really caught my eye.
Re: Toys for 2 year old...
It really depends on what he is into. I have found a few things on etsy that I have bought for my son and given as gifts that were big hits. My two favorites are a personalized car carrier - if he digs cars (Matchbox type) it's a great way to keep them organized! Also, a personalized super hero cape with his initial on the back. My kid loves his! Good luck, etsy is a lot of fun to shop on!
My nephew just turned 2 and I got him a water table from Amazon and he's OBSESSED with it. Since your nephew is also turning 2, he won't notice if his B-day gift doesn't get used until it's warmer outside in NJ. I checked the reviews online and ended up buying one that was around $40 but they had cheaper ones.

When my DS turned two his favorite gifts were cars (well, anything with wheels), art supplies, musicall instruments, and books.
I always like to check out Uncommon Goods for gifts that are a little different. Here's a link to their toddler gifts: https://www.uncommongoods.com/for-kids/toddler-gifts-3-5-years
