I've got great news and even greater news! The great news is that I found gifts that your toddler will actually like. The greater news is that you don't have to go shopping for them because you probably already own them. See what I did there? I saved you money, time and aggravation when your kid isn't into the high-priced thingadera you went out of your way to buy. Score!

Tacones
Walk on over to your closet and grab a pair of high heels for your toddler. Doesn't matter if you have a boy or girl, tacones are a hit with toddlers of all ages. Beware that there will be falls.
Wooden spoon
La cuchara de palo is a must have toy for all children 3 and under, never mind that it's not actually a toy.
Your actual TV remote
Do not make the rookie mistake of buying a toy remote control. Toddlers are little, but they are not stupid. They only want your actual working remote control or else forget it.
Buttons, lots of buttons
You know that jar of random buttons that you inherited from your bisabuela on your father's side? Give it to your kid for hours of fun.
Chopsticks
Never throw away take out chopsticks because they are worth their weight in gold to toddlers.
Your favorite lipstick
You love your favorite lipstick and so does your kid. You're probably better at applying it than your kid is though.
An empty cardboard box
I'm sure you've already noticed how much more toddlers like the box something came in than whatever is actually in the box.
A box of tissues
This is like a party in a box for little ones.
An old phone book
You know you don't even use a phone book anymore so may as well let your kid tear it up.
Maxi pads or tampons
They come in cool shapes and are squishy, what's there not to like?
Beans
I know you would rather they eat frijoles instead of play with them, but how can you deny your child the joy of scattering them all over the place?
