For us it would be anything car related. Or a train, aeroplane, helicopter, bus ... I am sure that you get the general gist!!!

I am going to say though that at 2 they probably have more trains, cars, trucks, balls etc than any one really needs - esp if there are other kids in the family.
Other gifts that my 2 year old got for his birthday were musical instruments (the cool wee wood ones), pretend power tools etc and these were a huge hit.
Just another option.

We got a road mat from the Warehouse. It was about $15 and great since the kid then had something to drive the cars on.

My 2 yr old still loved books (not board ones...."big boy" books). Crayons...bath ones were a HUGE hit. duplo (but probably a bit expensive)....sand pit toys, a gardening set, quality wooden toys, bubbles, torch...etc.

power tools are big round here with my 2yo. the real sounding weed wacker is so popular his 3 & 5 yo friends fight him for it!
bath toys, bubbles and books are also good for any age. Playhough is also quite popular - this bob the builder one where you squeeze it through a concrete mixer.

Also, crayola washable markers and paper is a hit with my young man.
The Warehouse in my area has parallel import Crayola Washables for $2.99 a packet. Can't see anything wrong with them and they work well!
