I guess it all depends on what kind of toys the boy is into. Socks and matchbox cars are small enough. Little bath tub toys, etc. Believe me, Evan will let you know what types of things he likes. My 2 year old nephew is into Tommy The Tank, so he's got everything under the sun with that. I've also gotten him to love McDonald's Apple pies, so now whenver they go Christopher must have his Apple pie. So a gift certificate to McDonald's would come in handy in that situation.
