My nephew just turned 2 and I got him a wooden train set. Other ideas: Sandbox, water table, slide, kitchen, tool bench, blocks, puzzles, balance bike, trucks.
DS just had his birthday and we got him several things... a Mr Potato Head, a Little People's barn (he loves LP), one of those harness/leash backpacks, and potty training stuff. He got clothes and pjs from grandparents and aunts/uncles. He also got a wagon from one of his uncles and I would say that was his favorite present. We have it right in our living room right now and he gets in and out of it all day long and occasionally asks for a ride. It was the perfect present.

my DS is 21 months. we're not sure what we're getting him for his 2nd birthday, but these are some of his current favorites that i would highly recommend:
books: elephant and piggie series by mo willems (these are actually beginning readers but are hilarious and fun to read out loud); peck peck peck by lucy cousins, plus any book with maisy in it, by same author; trucks go, trains go, and diggers go by steve light (boardbooks), the three bears, my car, and my bus by byron barton
art supplies: washable markers, washable crayons, washable finger paint, washable watercolors, stickers of any kind, sidewalk chalk
DD is about to turn 2. We got her a tricycle. She's obsessed with our neighbors and can ride it-- so we got her one! We live close to the park so I'll be able to walk up and let her ride it.
Other ideas-- puzzles, books, coloring books and art supplies, legos, blocks, train set?
We just went to a 2nd bday party for a child who has a million toys. We gave him a basket full of different art/craft supplies. Toddlers can never have too many of those
