I'd suggest it for a girl too, but they're much more likely to get one from someone else. This was one of the most played with toys in my house with 2 little boys.

Mine was gifted a stroller and it broke before I could get it home. She was also given a crappy plastic doll when I am hand knitting one.

As a mom I like board books or money.

My 15 month old likes Smartmax magnetic toys. She loves the magnetic part and the click sound it makes when they pop together.
A relative gave her this set for her birthday: https://www.fatbraintoys.com/toy_companies/smart_usa/smartmax_my_first_farm_animals.cfm

That's a range of ages, so...

18m: Megablocks, A buckle toy https://smile.amazon.com/Buckle-Toys-Blu-Whale/dp/B00GCGG6FO/ref=sr_1_14?dchild=1&keywords=buckle+toy&qid=1631021842&sr=8-14 or ride on car. Also second a baby doll stroller. My boys both love it.

24m: a wooden train set, micro mini scooter, toy vacuum

Buckle whale, Melissa & Doug service station (it’s like a gas station, car wash and parking garage all in one, but compact) or anything Thomas the Tank Engine.

My faves in different price points:

Hape wooden shopping cart ($50)
Little People Farm ($35)
Skoolzy Pegs ($15)

For sure. My 16 month old loves her stroller. Also loves Baby Stella and stuffed animals generally.

Yes! DS used his until he was well past three. If you’re looking for something more expensive, definitely a tricycle

Wooden puzzles, stacking plastic cups, bubbles

Little People Animal Rescue. Every kid I’ve given it to absolutely loves it. My older son has one and my youngest, 11 months, loves to open and close the doors and turn the rescue helicopter blade.

What are your favorite gifts for a 12-24 month old? If it makes any difference, gifts are for a boy.
