I have a 2 year old and I prefer friends/others to give her books or puzzles. I am not too keen on sweet treats, electronics or toys. But then she is just 2 - she has no clue about many things.

I usually give books for kids. I also pick up small puzzles, coloring books etc for younger kids. For older girls - I often pick out small pieces of jewlery, handbags, pens, erasers, stickers etc.

Is this for a birthday, holiday, ...?

Is this for a relative, friend's kid, your kid, ...?

This is how my 7 yo nephew rank his birthday presents (no 1 being the most liked):
1. ipad2
2. angry bird toy
3. cars story book
4. cars t-shirt and shoes
5. stationeries
6. bay blade
7. animal kaiser card

Children usually have short span of interest, so the best is to find out what is the child current interest. For children in school age, I would say give them toys.
